What it is

Robinhood has commission-free investing for stocks, ETFs, and their options, and tools to help shape your financial future. Sign up and get your first stock free. Limitations and fees may apply.

Why it matters

Commission-free does not mean cost-free — Robinhood receives payment from market makers for routing your trades, which may result in slightly worse prices than you would receive on other platforms.

Consumer impact

This page serves as Robinhood's central index for all legal disclosures affecting users' trading rights, data practices, fees, and dispute resolution obligations across its brokerage and crypto services. Because the actual substantive terms — including any mandatory arbitration clauses, data sharing practices, and fee schedules — are housed in linked documents rather than this page, consumers may not realize the full scope of their legal obligations. You can navigate to robinhood.com/us/en/about/legal to locate and review each specific disclosure document applicable to your account type.

Applicable agencies

  • SEC
    The SEC regulates payment for order flow disclosure under Rule 606 and has previously fined Robinhood $65 million for PFOF-related disclosure failures.
