# Refundio

> We buy out compensation claims for delayed, cancelled, and overbooked flights under EC 261. Get up to €600 upfront — we handle the airline ourselves.

Refundio is an independent specialist in EU air passenger rights. Instead of waiting months for the airline to process a claim, we pay passengers upfront and take the entire claim onto our books. No win for the client, no fee.
