Simplifying FINRA Submissions to Improve Speed, Accuracy, and the Employee Experience

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- StarCompliance (Star), a leading provider of employee and firm compliance technology, today announced the launch of automated FINRA data push functionality within its Broker-Dealer Registration solution.

The new capability enables firms to electronically submit registration data directly to FINRA as part of the standard license and registration workflow. This enhancement removes the need for manual entry into the FINRA Gateway, reducing duplication of effort and improving process accuracy. With the addition of the automated data push, Star's Broker-Dealer Registration solution now offers a two-way integration with the FINRA Gateway.

"In many firms, registration data still has to be manually entered into FINRA even after being captured internally," said Kelvin Dickenson, Chief Product Officer at StarCompliance. "By enabling automated submission directly to FINRA, we are removing a significant operational bottleneck. The result is faster processing, fewer errors, and a more efficient experience for both compliance teams and registered representatives."

Star's Broker-Dealer Registration solution delivers an integrated, end-to-end platform for managing the full license and registration lifecycle with accuracy and transparency.

The solution supports:

Onboarding of licensed and registered employees

Monitoring exam windows, training requirements, and completion status

Managing Forms U4 and U5 updates and registration changes

Reconciling data between internal records and FINRA

Centralized reporting to provide clear visibility into registration progress and statusThe enhanced solution delivers structured automation and real-time visibility across the entire license and registration process, streamlining workflows while maintaining control, consistency, and audit readiness while significantly reducing the manual workload for compliance and registered reps.

Key capabilities include:

Automated workflows to standardize and streamline registration tasks

Alerts and reminders to keep exams, filings, and approvals on track

HR data integration to automatically trigger registration requests

In-application progress tracking for real-time status visibility

Centralized reporting across registration timelines, exam windows, continuing education requirements, and submission statusesTogether, these capabilities enhance transparency, consistency, and operational control across the registration lifecycle.
