watchOS 2 Updates and More

New Apple Watch, iPhone, and Android updates

As part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best trading experience, we’re delighted to announce updates to our Apple Watch, iPhone, and Android apps. 

Following the release of watchOS 2, we’ve introduced two new features that will enhance the Robinhood for Apple Watch experience even more. The app now takes advantage of the Digital Crown, making it much easier to select the number of shares when placing an order. No more repeated tapping -- a simple rotation takes care of it. Also, you can now customize your Watch face by adding your daily performance from Robinhood, so you can better keep track of your portfolio at-a-glance.

Our iPhone and Android apps also now clearly separate your portfolio from your watchlist, and let you (at last!) re-order your stocks to your liking.

Happy Trading,
The Robinhood Team

#RobinhoodRewind 2015

Robinhood reflects on its most successful year yet

With 2016 upon us, we wanted to take a moment to look back at 2015, Robinhood’s most successful year yet.

We’re delighted by the positive responses we’ve received over the past year. Your recommendations to friends, tweets of love, and ongoing support have catapulted us to become one of the fastest-growing brokerages with over $2 billion in transactions!

Here’s a look back at some of our major 2015 highlights:

  • Released Robinhood for iPhone to the public, followed by Robinhood for Apple Watch
  • Introduced Robinhood for Android 
  • Raised $50 million in funding from NEA and Index Ventures
  • Unveiled Cards to create a more personalized trading experience 
  • Announced new integrations with StockTwits, Openfolio, Quantopian, and Rubicoin
  • Welcomed 24 new Robinhoodies to the Sherwood Forest

We’ve also been recognized with several awards, including the Apple Design Award (Robinhood is the first finance company to ever earn this distinction) and the coveted Golden Kitty Award from Product Hunt. Recently, we became one of only three apps recognized in both Apple and Google’s “Best Apps of 2015” features. We’re also a finalist for two TechCrunch Crunchie awards, which will be announced in February.

This year, we’re focused on adding even more shine to Robinhood with new features and services such as margin trading and a web platform. We’re also looking forward to introducing Robinhood abroad, providing wider access to financial markets. We can’t wait to reveal what else is in stock for 2016. 

Sound like a merry time? Peek at our openings.

Happy New Year!

New Integrations

More investors can now access Robinhood

Today, we’re excited to announce integrations with StockTwits, Openfolio, Quantopian, and Rubicoin. Robinhood is now accessible to even more investors, and Robinhoodies can seamlessly connect their accounts with tools such as StockTwits and Quantopian.

Most of the integrations are for iOS, but our partners will be supporting additional platforms in the coming months! Here are some descriptions provided by the third-party partners*:

StockTwits
“With the Robinhood integration, true social trading is now a reality on StockTwits. The StockTwits community can now easily trade from their watchlist and share those trades with a few swipes.”

Openfolio
“This integration allows Robinhood customers to compare their portfolios and benchmark their performance against the Openfolio community, the markets, and their peers. Openfolio investors can trade – for free – via the Robinhood platform with all trading activity automatically synced between the platforms.”

Quantopian
“This integration makes it possible for anyone to trade algorithmically for free. Algorithmic trading used to be reserved for big companies with expensive tools and exclusive access to cheap trades. Quantopian and Robinhood make the process free, from data to platform to execution.”

Rubicoin
“This integration allows investors to quickly and easily sign-in or sign-up for a Robinhood account right from the Rubicoin app, and immediately start investing.” The Rubicoin integration will be live in mid-December.

We can’t wait to hear how you’re enjoying these new integrations and look forward to adding new partners in the near future. Stay tuned!

Happy Trading,
The Robinhood Team

You Know What's Cool? A Billion Dollars.

Robinhood crosses $1 billion in transactions

Today, Robinhood is proud to share that just months after launching to the public, our community has transacted more than $1 billion through our platform. This incredible milestone speaks to the power of what’s possible when you make the markets more accessible.

Robinhood is one of the world’s fastest growing brokerages, with hundreds of thousands of customers. Collectively, the community has saved over $22 million in trading commissions. Paying $10 per trade is the equivalent of paying to send an email, and we’ve relegated it to a thing of the past. 

We’re thrilled to lead the charge in defining the next generation of investing. With these recent milestones and the Apple Design Award in our trophy case, we’ve had a lot of reasons to celebrate lately.

We have even more to share in the coming days, weeks and months. Stay tuned, Robinhoodies!

Investors should consider the investment objectives and unique risk profile of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) carefully before investing. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of other diversified portfolios. Leveraged and Inverse ETFs may not be suitable for all investors and may increase exposure to volatility through the use of leverage, short sales of securities, derivatives and other complex investment strategies.

Although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the performance of their respective underlying indices, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indices because of expenses and other factors. A prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF and should be read carefully before investing. Customers should obtain prospectuses from issuers and/or their third party agents who distribute and make prospectuses available for review. ETFs are required to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders at year end. These gains may be generated by portfolio rebalancing or the need to meet diversification requirements. ETF trading will also generate tax consequences. Additional regulatory guidance on Exchange Traded Products can be found by clicking here.

Options transactions may involve a high degree of risk. To learn more about the risks associated with options trading, please review the options disclosure document entitled Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, available here or through https://www.theocc.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp.

Investors should be aware that system response, execution price, speed, liquidity, market data, and account access times are affected by many factors, including market volatility, size and type of order, market conditions, system performance, and other factors.

All investments involve risk and the past performance of a security, or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities, or other financial products. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing.

Trading in cryptocurrencies comes with significant risks, including volatile market price swings or flash crashes, market manipulation, and cybersecurity risks. In addition, cryptocurrency markets and exchanges are not regulated with the same controls or customer protections available in equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing.  Several federal agencies have also published advisory documents surrounding the risks of virtual currency. For more information see the Robinhood Crypto Risk Disclosure, the CFPB’s Consumer Advisory, the CFTC’s Customer Advisory, the SEC’s Investor Alert, and FINRA’s Investor Alert.
