A government-authorized not-for-profit organization, FINRA regulates over 624,000 brokerage firms in the United States.
Overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), FINRA enforces compliance with its own-issued rules, registers and trains broker-dealer personnel, and offers regulatory services for equities and options markets, among others.
In a recently issued notice, the organization warned brokerage firms of a phishing campaign leveraging the fraudulent domain invest-finra[.]org, which has no connection with FINRA.
