Firms applying as NFA Members are required to pay initial dues and Approved Member firms are required to pay annual membership dues as part of a firm's annual filings and are subject to a late payment charge of $25.00 per month if paid after the date that they are payable. Dues should be paid in only one category-the category to which the highest dues apply. For example, an NFA Member that is an FCM and also a CTA and has an exchange as its Designated Self-Regulatory Organization would pay dues of $ 1,500.00 (the FCM category is the higher dues-paying category).
