"Robinhood Securities LLC is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Securities in your account protected up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). SIPC does not protect against loss from market risk or bad investment decisions.— Excerpt from Robinhood's Robinhood Customer Agreement
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: SIPC membership and disclosure obligations are governed by the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 and SIPC rules. Broker-dealers are required to disclose SIPC membership and coverage limits to customers under applicable FINRA and SEC rules. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. SIPC disclosure is a standard regulatory requirement for registered broker-dealers. The disclosure as stated appears consistent with applicable requirements. JURISDICTION FLAGS: SIPC coverage applies uniformly to all US customers of member broker-dealers. Non-US customers may not be covered by SIPC. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The SIPC disclosure should be reviewed annually for accuracy and consistency with current SIPC coverage limits and any changes to SIPC rules or guidance. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Confirm that SIPC membership disclosure is delivered to customers at or before account opening in the format required by applicable SEC and FINRA rules, and that any supplemental excess SIPC coverage (if applicable) is disclosed separately and accurately.
