FINRA Rule 3270 states in part, “No registered person may be an employee, independent contractor, sole proprietor, officer, director or partner of another person, or be compensated, or have the reasonable expectation of compensation, from any other person as a result of any business activity outside the scope of the relationship with his or her member firm, unless he or she has provided prior written notice to the member, in such form as specified by the member.’ When brokers/financial advisors violate the FINRA rules, their clients may file claims against them and/or their firms.

FINRA RULE 3270 requires registered representatives and financial advisors to notify their firms in writing of outside business activities, commonly referred to as OBAs. Registered representatives are prohibited from engaging in any business activities outside the scope of their relationship with their member firm unless they have provided prior written notice to their member firm. This disclosure is essential to prevent conflicts of interest and protect client interests.
