There are a number of ways we work to keep your Robinhood account safe.

Member of SIPC, which protects securities 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.

The Robinhood Security Team uses a number of high-level measures to protect your account, ensuring your experience with us is safe and secure.

Here are some of those security measures:

• Your account password is hashed using the industry-standard BCrypt hashing algorithm, and it’s never stored in plaintext.
• Sensitive details, such as your social security number, are encrypted before they’re stored.
• Our mobile and web applications securely communicate with our servers using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol with up-to-date configurations and ciphers.
• Once we verify your banking credentials, we’ll never access them again. We use trusted third-party integrations to access information about your bank account, such as your account number and available balance.

You can secure access to your mobile app using TouchID, FaceID, or a custom PIN code. We also offer two-factor authentication with an external authenticator app or via SMS.
