Robinhood was founded in 2013 with a mission to make the financial markets more inclusive. Most importantly, they wanted to make sure that regardless of your wealth, income, or background, an individual could feel empowered to be a long-term investor. Robinhood's mobile technology helps to alleviate the headaches associated with investing. They hope to fill the gap for those who do not feel comfortable with the financial system and the constant changes in our ecosystem. With their app, millions are able to invest through a more approachable and convenient design. Robinhood pioneered commission-free stock trading with no account minimums. They offer customers the ability to buy and sell equities through their mobile interface. In addition to their investing solutions, Robinhood Crypto offers commission-free cryptocurrency trading using the same mobile interface as the investing solutions platform. They support almost every state in the US excluding Hawaii and Nevada. Additionally, their Cash Management product is available to those with a Robinhood brokerage account.
