Their Growth Story
Since 2013, the company has focused on building a customer-centric brokerage that meets the needs of a new generation of investors.
Robinhood’s pioneering of commission-free trading spurred a paradigm shift in the brokerage industry, driving established players to start offering commission-free trades and putting money back in the hands of regular people. The company’s more than 1,000 employees continue to focus on building what its customers say they want for all the different stages of their financial journey. Today, Robinhood’s platform empowers more than 13 million customers, half of which are first-time investors, to get informed about the financial markets and invest responsibly.
