Regulatory Notice 25-09

FINRA rules require members to provide associated persons with specified information relating to the uniform registration forms and predispute arbitration. FINRA has observed that members currently satisfy some of these requirements through manual processes, such as delivery of the information via U.S. mail. As part of the FINRA Forward initiatives, FINRA has made enhancements to its systems to give members the option of satisfying these requirements electronically via FINRA’s Financial Professional Gateway (FinPro GatewayTM) beginning November 3, 2025.

2022073415101 Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. CRD 793 AWC gg (2025-1757809202284).pdf

Between January 2020 and December 2023, Stifel violated Rule 606(a) of Regulation NMS under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and FINRA Rule 2010 by publishing quarterly reports on its handling of customer orders in National Market System (NMS) securities that were inaccurate or incomplete. In addition, between January 2020 and April 2025, the firm’s supervisory system, including its written supervisory procedures (WSPs), was not reasonably designed to achieve compliance with Rule 606(a), and therefore the firm violated FINRA Rules 3110 and 2010.
