SEC is rolling out a unified hotline number — 1-4732 — made easy to remember as 1-4SEC, dedicated to accommodating public inquiries, complaints and requests.

The hotline will cater to public concerns related to registration, reportorial requirements, followups on submissions or filings, system walkthroughs, general inquiries and other frontline service needs.

SEC said the introduction of the unified hotline number is in line with its goal of providing better services and making transactions with the commission easier.
