The Dispute Resolution Portal (DR Portal) is a self-service system that allows participants in an arbitration or a mediation to log into a secure area of our website so they can submit documents and manage case information.

FINRA has developed a pair of User Guides to help parties and neutrals become more familiar with the DR Portal. FINRA requires case participants and neutrals to use the DR Portal.

Register for the DR Portal

To protect your security and the privacy of your data, FINRA employs a two-step process when granting access to the DR Portal.

Step One:

Create a user account

Note: you cannot use a FINRA Gateway account, Org account, or state CRD/IARD credentials on the DR Portal.  You must create a separate account.

Steps for creating a user account can be found in the Appendix section of the User Guides.

Step Two:

Once you have created a DR Portal account, you can log in to the DR Portal by using the Log In button above.

Note that to access the cases you are participating in, you must receive an invitation email from FINRA staff to complete the case registration process.

  • Neutrals will receive their invitation once approved to the roster. They will only need to complete this registration one time to access all their assigned cases.
  • Case participants will receive an invitation and must register for EACH CASE they are participating in.
