FINRA

FINRA regulates broker-dealers, capital acquisition brokers, and funding portals. A broker-dealer is in the business of buying or selling securities on behalf of its customers, its own account, or both. A capital acquisition broker is a broker-dealer subject to a narrower rule book. A funding portal is a crowdfunding intermediary.

3210. Accounts At Other Broker-Dealers and Financial Institutions
(a) No person associated with a member ("employer member") shall, without the prior written consent of the member, open or otherwise establish at a member other than the employer member ("executing member"), or at any other financial institution, any account in which securities transactions can be effected and in which the associated person has a beneficial interest.
(b) Any associated person, prior to opening or otherwise establishing an account subject to this Rule, shall notify in writing the executing member, or other financial institution, of his or her association with the employer member.
