Robinhood background note

Read this as a starting point for entity research, then verify the current legal records directly.

Commission-free trading is the big site of Robinhood founded in 2013 by its base in Menlo Park, California. Such a convenient and adorable mobile app accessible to both new and seasoned traders was developed with total focus on simplicity for stocks, exchange-traded funds, options, and cryptocurrencies and aims to democratize finance, backing up its traditional business regular brokerage fees.

Company-background checklist

  1. 1Match the brand name to the exact legal entity in the account agreement.
  2. 2Verify the entity through the relevant company registry or regulator register, not only the broker homepage.
  3. 3Check whether the website domain, legal entity and regulator record point to the same business.
  4. 4Review any corporate-change, license-history or warning notice before relying on older background information.
  5. 5Save source URLs and dates checked for company records, regulator records and account documents.
