Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 17, 2026.

Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The claim deadline was February 20, 2024 — the filing window is closed, and new claims may not be accepted.
- Only BP Ordinary Shares traded on non-US exchanges qualify. BP American Depository Shares traded on US exchanges were covered in an earlier distribution and are NOT part of this phase.
- Use only the official sites bpfairfund.com or bp.rcbfundservices.com — scammers impersonate SEC fund administrators and verify the domain carefully before entering any personal or financial information.
- RCB Fund Services, LLC is the court-appointed administrator. Any third party claiming to expedite your payment for a fee is a scam.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
