FINRA does not charge firms any fees for utilizing Web CRD/IARD E-Pay; however, firms should verify with their bank whether that bank will assess fees for utilizing Web CRD/IARD E-Pay. Enrollment is required to use Web CRD/IARD E-Pay. For detailed information about the enrollment process or how to use this application, please review the Web CRD/IARD E-Pay Quick Reference Guide.
