— Excerpt from Robinhood's Robinhood Customer Agreement

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Electronic delivery of required broker-dealer disclosures is governed by SEC guidance on electronic delivery of securities information, FINRA rules on customer account statements and trade confirmations, and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act). Customers must affirmatively consent to electronic delivery for it to satisfy regulatory delivery obligations. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. Electronic delivery consent is a standard practice in retail brokerage and is generally consistent with applicable SEC and FINRA guidance, provided that customers have affirmatively consented and that the mechanism for revoking consent is accessible. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Some state laws impose specific requirements on electronic delivery consent in consumer financial contracts. California's Electronic Commerce Act and related statutes may impose additional requirements on the consent mechanism. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The electronic delivery consent should be operationally implemented so that consent is affirmative and documented, and that customers can access a mechanism to request paper delivery if required by applicable law. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that the electronic delivery consent mechanism satisfies SEC and FINRA requirements for affirmative consent, that a paper delivery opt-out process is available and documented, and that electronic delivery records are maintained in accordance with applicable recordkeeping rules.
