Finding

A full United States securities broker-dealer registration. tastytrade, Inc. is registered with the SEC and is a FINRA member firm, supervised from FINRA's Chicago district office, and is a member of SIPC. This is the licence that permits it to run a retail brokerage and hold securities customers. Its register entry also records three regulatory disclosures, so the licence is genuine but the compliance record is not spotless. Client protection: Strong. SEC and FINRA supervision, net-capital and customer-protection rules, SIPC cover up to 500,000 dollars including 250,000 dollars cash if the firm fails, and access to FINRA arbitration for disputes.. Effective: 10 Mar 2016.
