OPFA SA

In 1976, young people raised their voices for fairness and changed outcomes. Today, that same power lives in how you engage with your financial rights.

If something doesn’t add up and it is unresolved, don’t stay silent, speak up and approach the relevant financial ombud, the National Financial Ombud Scheme South Africa - NFO, FAISOmbud, or the OPFA SA for fair, independent resolution, for free.

Know your rights. Use your voice. Change your outcome.
