Our commitments

Our 6 commitments
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.

No account minimums or commissions

We pioneered, and will continue to offer, commission-free 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 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.

Brokerage 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 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 more program banks, your FDIC insurance coverage may be reduced.

Dedicated to maintaining the highest security standards

We will cover 100% of direct losses due to unauthorized account activity that isn’t your fault.

As a safety first company, Robinhood is committed to keeping your Robinhood accounts protected. We’ll cover 100% of direct losses due to unauthorized account activity. We ask that you practice safe cybersecurity habits so we can work together to keep your accounts safe.

We use robust security measures and tools to protect your accounts. We’re committed to fully reimbursing direct losses caused by unauthorized activity that isn’t your fault. A reimbursement can include cash, assets held through Robinhood Financial, and crypto held through Robinhood Crypto.

You must do your part to get 100% of direct losses caused by unauthorized account activity, such as not sharing your account details, keeping your devices secure, and taking action and reporting unusual activity or lost or stolen devices. For details, check out Security guarantee.

Keep in mind:

  • Robinhood won’t 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 or provided support to the party that performed the activity.

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.
