FINRA Proposes Rule Change to Require Members' Web Sites to Include BrokerCheck Reference (Fed. Reg.)

FINRA's proposal to require each of its members' Web sites to include a readily apparent reference and hyperlink to BrokerCheck was published in the Federal Register.

The proposal would amend FINRA Rule 2210 to require a member's Web site to provide a hyperlink to BrokerCheck on: (i) the initial Web page that the member intends to be viewed by retail investors and (ii) any other page that includes a professional profile of one or more registered persons who conduct business with retail investors.

Comments on the proposal must be submitted by August 3, 2015.
