Request Access to FINRA Systems

FINRA administers access to secure applications for various regulatory purposes. Learn more below about how you can request access to the appropriate systems:

Request Access via SAA Form

The following information applies to broker-dealers, capital acquisition brokers (CABs), funding portals, investment advisers, private fund advisers, regulators and service providers.

These entities must submit the appropriate New Organization Super Account Administrator (SAA) Form to gain access to FINRA-administered systems they require. Once FINRA validates that the form is complete and accurate, an account for the organization’s designated SAA is created and granted administrator access to all of the relevant systems on the FINRA Entitlement Platform. 

FINRA only creates SAA accounts for these organizations. The SAA is then responsible for creating other administrator and user accounts as appropriate for firm personnel. Additionally, SAAs should grant themselves appropriate user access as necessary.  

The relevant system applications are accessible via Firm Gateway. 

Note: The following forms must be requested by phone:

Create Your Own Account (Register New User)

The following information applies to DR Portal, FinPro, SIE Voucher, Enrolling for an Exam (TESS)™ and UPC.

These systems permit users to create their own credentials through the Register New User link on the system login page.

Social Login With Google Arrives April 5: Over the next several months, FINRA will add the ability for individual users to create and log in to FINRA accounts using their existing Google email credentials. This feature, formally known as social login, simplifies system access by allowing users to bypass user id and password requirements.

This feature will be added in phases to eligible systems. Learn more on the page linked above.

One set of credentials can be used to log in to any of these systems; however, additional authorization may be required to fully access and use a given system’s features.
