Information Notice - 10/21/25
FINRA's Information Notice dated October 21, 2025, reminds member firms of NSCC's amendment to Rule 50, effective October 17, 2025, which removes the "Settle Prep Day" from the ACATS process, shortening full customer account transfers to 3-4 business days. This matters because it aligns with FINRA Rule 11870's requirements to expedite transfers, enhances operational efficiency, reduces risk, and improves client experience amid broader industry shifts like T+1 settlement.[original notice]
What Changed
Removal of Settle Prep Day: NSCC Rule 50 amended to eliminate the settlement preparation stage from ACATS, effective October 17, 2025, streamlining the process for all securities transfers.[original notice]
Mutual Fund/Options Synchronization: Eliminates the extra day for processing mutual funds and options via Fund/SERV, aligning their settlement with other assets; also removes the second day of Fund/SERV pending acknowledgment.[original notice]
Overall Timeline Reduction: Full ACATS transfers now complete in 3-4 business days (previously longer), supporting faster asset access without...

Key Dates
September 5, 2025 - SEC approves NSCC's proposed rule change (File No. SR-NSCC-2025-011) amending Rule 50.[original notice]
September 10, 2025 - Federal Register publication of SEC approval (90 FR 43709).[original notice]
October 17, 2025 - Effective date: Removal of Settle Prep Day and Fund/SERV changes; firms must support next-day settling assets.[original notice] DEADLINE
October 2026 - Planned modernization of ACATS client interfaces (decommission of legacy formats; migration to JSON/MQ for enhanced messaging).
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Medium - Effective over three months ago (as of January 2026), with industry-wide accommodation confirmed; no new mandates but requires ongoing operational alignment to avoid Rule 11870 violations (e.g., delays in validation or exceptions). Matters for reducing transfer failures, enhancing efficiency post-T+1, and minimizing client complaints on account mobility; non-compliance risks FINRA scrutiny on customer protection.[original notice]
