"Money for Ombudsmen and staff when they retire"

To help Ombudsmen and their staff when they retire, money can be paid into a retirement scheme. This scheme is defined in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. You can think of it like a special kind of savings plan that helps them have money when they stop working.
