New NFA Fingerprint Requirements

On July 28, 2026, the National Futures Association (“NFA”) sent a reminder to its member firms about its upcoming fingerprint procedure changes effective October 1, 2026. The changes will require fingerprint submissions to NFA to be submitted through Fieldprint, NFA’s newly designated fingerprint service provider. See reminder here: NFA News Center | NFA

To comply with the new requirements, all NFA Member firms with fingerprint submission requirements must activate an account with Business Information Group (BIG): Fingerprinting. The NFA will host a webinar on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CT/11:00 a.m. ET on this topic.
