What is FINRA?
To protect investors and ensure the market’s integrity, FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) is a not-for-profit organization that oversees U.S. broker-dealers. FINRA is overseen by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission).
FINRA compliance regulations are designed to protect PII (personally identifiable information) and ensure financial data security. The requirements ensure financial institutions prevent data loss and theft and protect data integrity. Falling out of compliance with FINRA regulations can result in investigations, fines, suspension, banning, and potentially criminal charges in severe cases.
