Summary
Cboe C2 Exchange is updating its fee schedule to match changes in FINRA’s annual system processing fee, which only applies during renewals and continuing education.

Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Tiered Annual Processing Fee
If you are a registered person of a Trading Permit Holder (TPH) who is not also a FINRA member, the flat $70 annual FINRA System Processing Fee is replaced by a tiered schedule beginning in 2026: $70 for 1–5 securities regulators, $95 for 6–20, $110 for 21–40, and $125 for 41 or more. The Exchange lists these amounts on its Fee Schedule but does not collect or retain the fees; FINRA collects them via Web CRD.
Continuing Education Fee Increase
Beginning in 2026, the FINRA Regulatory Element continuing education fee listed on the Exchange's Fee Schedule increases from $18 to $25 per registration. The Exchange will mirror FINRA's $25 fee, and FINRA will collect the fee via Web CRD.
