Web CRD/IARD E-Pay
Firms are able to make electronic payments to fund their Web CRD/IARD Daily and/or Renewal Accounts through an online application, Web CRD/IARD E-Pay. With this application, a firm can authorize electronic payments directly from its designated bank account to the firm's Daily and/or Renewal Accounts. FINRA does not charge firms any fees for utilizing E-Pay; however, firms should verify with their bank whether that bank will assess fees for utilizing E-Pay. Firms will still have the option of funding their Daily and/or Renewal Accounts by either check or wire transfer also.
Features of E-Pay include:
- Online Enrollment - Firms are able to establish an E-Pay User ID and password by completing a simple enrollment form available through the Web CRD/IARD E-Pay application.
- Timely Payment to the Firm’s Daily and/or Renewal Accounts - ACH payments that are submitted by 8 p.m., Eastern Time (ET), should be posted within two business days to the firm's Daily and/or Renewal Accounts.

- Ability to Update E-Pay User Profile - Firms can update their own E-Pay User Profile, including the firm's bank account and contact information.
