Printer-Friendly Last Updated: 4/24/08 FINRA Contact System (FCS)

Overview

FCS facilitates member firm reporting of key contacts to FINRA, which is a requirement of FINRA rules and by-laws. Designated firm contacts are used to facilitate member voting in FINRA elections, compliance with various rules and by-laws, and to improve FINRA's communication with our member firms.
 
NASD Rule 1160 became effective December 31, 2007 and requires firms to:

• update all contact information required by FINRA via FCS promptly upon any material change;
• review and verify contact information annually; and
• comply promptly with any request for contact information.
  

Firms must complete an annual verification of their contact information within 17 business days after the end of each calendar year.
