Firms must submit any amount owed on the Final Statement to FINRA by this day.

See the Renewal Payment Options page for more information.

Retrieve and Schedule Payment for the Final Statement in E-Bill

Final Statements are available in E-Bill on Jan. 2.

Preliminary Statement reports are replaced with Final Statement reports in CRD/IARD.

If additional payment is not required, the Final Statement will reflect "Paid in Full." Any overpayment FINRA received from a firm is now available in the firm’s Flex-Funding Account.

Ensure Full Payment is Available in Renewal or Flex-Funding Account by This Date
