CRD Is Moving to FINRA Gateway: Form U4, Form U5 and Disclosure Letters
FINRA is integrating the registration filing functionality that supports the CRD Program into FINRA Gateway. The deployment of registration compliance tools will be incremental over time, so firms should expect to use both Classic CRD and FINRA Gateway until the integration is complete. Key dates and details will be highlighted in this space throughout the transition:
- May 1: Enhanced individual disclosure letters available in FINRA Gateway Requests.
- May 15: Last day to retrieve read-only versions of invalidated draft U4s in Classic CRD
- May 17: Form U5 comes to FINRA Gateway.
Form U5, individual disclosure letters and several reports in Classic CRD are scheduled to retire on August 21. Retirement dates for other functionality will be announced as they become available. See the Registration Filing in FINRA Gateway page for more details.
