Robinhood safety fields
These fields help structure safety research. They do not prove that an account is protected, available or suitable for any country.
- Funds protection note
- The securities exchange industry's watchman, the U.S. SEC, monitors Robinhood as a broker-dealer, and the regulatory organization FINRA authorizes it. Funds of customers are up to an amount of $500,000 payable through Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), with $250,000 allocated to cash claims. In addition, Robinhood uses encryption and two-factor authentication (2FA) for the highest level of confidentiality.
