In June 2021, the World Bank published a report on the role of the financial sector ombud system in South Africa. The report recommended that the overall ombud system and its components be reformed to make it fit for purpose and to adequately address the complexity of the South African financial system.

The NFO commenced operations on 1 March 2024.
