What happened to the UK launch?

We initially planned to launch Robinhood in the UK in 2020. A lot changed in the world in the first half of 2020, and so we made the difficult decision to postpone our UK launch indefinitely in July 2020.

We know many people in the UK were excited to invest through Robinhood, and we regret that we didn’t deliver our product to UK customers in 2020.

Although our global expansion plans are on hold for now, we remain committed to opening access to financial markets for more people around the world. We look forward to the day when we can bring this mission to the UK.

Robinhood U.K. Ltd. (“Robinhood UK”) had a limited amount of UK customer transactions in calendar year 2020 as part of our pre-launch testing phase. In line with its applicable UK regulatory obligations Robinhood UK has prepared its RTS 28 report for UK customer transactions in calendar year 2020, published here (a machine-readable version is published here).
