FINRA Rule 4512 Compliance

FINRA Rule 4512 requires member firms to maintain specific information for each customer account, including the customer's name, address, legal age, and the signature of the partner or principal accepting the account. For discretionary accounts, additional authorizations are needed. Compliance involves rigorous record-keeping systems to ensure that 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) data is accurate and accessible, forming the basis for suitability determinations in investment recommendations.
