On October 30, 2025, FINRA posted an update regarding Broker-Dealer, Investment Adviser Firm, Agent and Investment Adviser Representative, and Branch Renewals for 2026.

FINRA's Renewal Program facilitates the collection and disbursement of fees for broker-dealer (BD) and investment adviser (IA) registrations, exempt reporting, and notice filings with participating self-regulatory organizations (SROs) and jurisdictions. The program operates through two key statements:

**Preliminary Statement** (November 2025): Outlines initial renewal fees

**Final Statement** (January 2026): Confirms or reconciles actual fees due after January 1, 2026
