NYSE American Adds FINRA CRD Fees
Starting January 2, 2026, NYSE American will amend its options Fee Schedule so listed CRD (Central Registration Depository) fees mirror fees collected by FINRA. This change affects traders, ATP Holders, and firms using NYSE American options because the Exchange’s Fee Schedule will reflect the same CRD session, exam, and system processing fees that FINRA charges.
Processing Fee Tiers for Non‑FINRA ATP Holders
Beginning January 2, 2026, the Exchange will list CRD system processing fees charged to Non-FINRA ATP Holders per registered representative/principal on a tiered basis: 1–5 regulators $70; 6–20 regulators $95; 21–40 regulators $110; 41 or more regulators $125. Previously the Fee Schedule reflected a $70 processing fee.
Continuing Education Session Fee Rises to $25
As of January 2, 2026, the CRD session fee for the Continuing Education Regulatory Element will be $25 (the Exchange notes the current fee listed in its schedule is $18). This applies to individuals required to complete continuing education through the CRD system.
Series 57 Exam Fee Raised to $105
Effective January 2, 2026, the CRD fee for the Series 57 qualification examination will be $105 (the Exchange notes its Fee Schedule currently shows $80). This affects individuals taking the Series 57 exam through the CRD system.
