Summary
Nasdaq ISE is updating its fee list to show new FINRA registration and fingerprinting fees for employees of members who aren’t FINRA members. These changes started on January 1, 2026, but Nasdaq ISE doesn’t keep the money—it just shows the updated fees. If you’re part of this group, expect the new fees to be in effect now!
