The Pensions Ombudsman has upheld a complaint against Embark after it failed to prevent identity fraud which cost a client £20,000.
The complainant, identified in the ruling as Mr N, alleged Embark accepted fraudulent email instructions to withdraw £20,000 from his Sipp account in May 2019 and that he incurred a financial loss as a result.
