Cboe to stop channelling fingerprints to the FBI directly

Maria Nikolova 0 Comments September 10, 2025

Cboe Global Markets plans changes regarding its fingerprint processing platform.

Cboe currently directly channels fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) for processing of personnel of Cboe Trading Permit Holders (TPHs) and Cboe TPH applicants to facilitate compliance with fingerprint requirements under Section 17(f)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Effective October 13, 2025, all Cboe-affiliated U.S. Equities and Options Exchanges will retire their fingerprint processing platform and will no longer channel fingerprints to the FBI directly.

Upon the effective date, TPH and TPH applicant personnel (including any personnel that access Cboe’s trading floor) must submit fingerprints through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and register through the Web Central Registration Depository (Web CRD).
