Our 6 commitments
to you
to you
Robinhood is a Safety-First company. We want you to feel confident and secure on Robinhood, so these are the commitments you can always expect from us.
Protection
No account minimums with low to no commissions
We pioneered, and continue to offer, commission-free stock trading to enable access for everyone.
We believe everyone should have equal access to financial tools. Regardless of how much money you intend to invest, you won’t be charged account minimums or commissions to buy or sell stocks, ETFs, or their options with Robinhood.
Other fees still apply. For more information refer to the Robinhood Financial Fee Schedule and the Robinhood Financial Customer Relationship Summary.
Your money is protected
Your securities and cash are protected by SIPC.
Robinhood Financial and Robinhood Securities are members of SIPC, which protects securities for customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). Explanatory brochure available upon request or at www.sipc.org.
We've purchased an additional insurance policy for Robinhood Markets, Inc., Robinhood Financial LLC, and Robinhood Securities, LLC to supplement SIPC protection. The additional insurance becomes available to customers in the event that SIPC limits are exhausted. This additional insurance policy provides protection for securities and cash up to an aggregate of $1 billion, and is limited to a combined return to any customer of $50 million in securities, including $1.9 million in cash. Similar to SIPC protection, this additional insurance does not protect against a loss in the market value of securities.
Note: SIPC coverage doesn’t protect against a loss in the market value of securities. Crypto positions through Robinhood Crypto aren’t protected by SIPC and Robinhood Crypto isn’t a member of FINRA or SIPC.
Customers who opt in to the Brokerage cash sweep program have their eligible uninvested cash automatically (unrestricted cash intended for investing that hasn't yet been invested or spent) deposited at these banks where it becomes eligible for FDIC insurance up to a total maximum of $2.25 million. That’s up to $250,000 per program bank, inclusive of deposits already held at the bank in the same ownership capacity, subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits and any capacity limitations at the banks. While the FDIC insurance coverage limit at each bank is $250,000, $2,000 is reserved for accrued interest. If you opt out of one or more program banks, your FDIC insurance coverage may be reduced.
Dedicated to maintaining the highest security standards
As a safety first company, we are committed to keeping your Robinhood accounts protected.
We implement robust security measures and tools to protect your accounts. By practicing safe cybersecurity habits, we can work together to keep your accounts safe.
We offer reimbursements for direct losses caused by unauthorized activity, provided you've taken the necessary steps to protect your account.
To be eligible for reimbursement, you must do your part to keep your account safe, such as not sharing your account details, keeping your devices secure, including enabling phone hacking protections through your phone carrier, and taking action and reporting unusual activity or lost or stolen devices. For details, check out Security guarantee and How to identify and report scams.
Keep in mind:
- Robinhood may not reimburse customers when their actions facilitated or enabled unauthorized account activity.
- Robinhood won’t offer any reimbursement to customers who have fallen victim to a scam if a fraud investigation determines that the customer conducted the activity, facilitated, or provided support in any way to the party that performed the activity.
- Robinhood doesn’t restrict any rights or protections under Regulation E for eligible transactions.

A transparent business model
We primarily make money from rebates from market centers, Robinhood Gold, stock loan, income from cash, and our spending account features.
Earning revenue allows us to offer you a range of financial products and services at a low cost, including commission-free trading.
Other fees may apply. For more information refer to the Robinhood Financial Fee Schedule and the Robinhood Financial Customer Relationship Summary.
Quarterly reports that disclose where we route securities orders and the nature of our routing relationships, including any payment for order flow arrangements, are publicly available here.
Execution quality
We’re committed to seeking quality execution for every order.
We perform regular and rigorous reviews of the execution quality you receive from the securities market centers to which we route, including the execution price, speed, and price improvement.
While there is no specific formula to determine execution quality, the execution of your securities orders is regularly reviewed and analyzed by our Best Execution Committee, and we use a widely-used independent provider of best execution analytics software to review our execution quality. To help ensure we have a fair system, all market makers we partner with pay us rebates at the same rate. Learn more.
