HOOD

Robinhood UK is introducing a stocks & shares ISA featuring no platform fees, no commissions, a 0.10% FX charge per trade and a limited-time 2% cash bonus on eligible contributions made before April 5, 2026, subject to a one-year holding requirement. The account will allow trading of whole and fractional shares in about 5,000 US-listed stocks and ADRs and includes tools to track contributions and initiate transfers from other ISA providers.

Key Points

  • Robinhood UK is launching a stocks & shares ISA with no platform fees, no commissions and a 0.10% FX fee per trade.
  • The ISA provides access to roughly 5,000 US-listed stocks and ADRs with support for whole and fractional shares; account opening is available via app or website.
  • A 2% cash bonus applies to eligible new contributions made before April 5, 2026, if those funds are held in the account for one year.

Robinhood UK said it will launch a stocks & shares ISA this week, positioning its low-cost brokerage model within one of the United Kingdom's long-established tax-advantaged savings vehicles.

The new ISA carries no platform fee and charges no commissions on trades. Each trade will incur a 0.10% foreign exchange fee. Robinhood UK is also promoting a time-limited incentive: a 2% cash bonus on new eligible contributions made up to and including April 5, 2026, provided those contributions remain in the account for one year.

Under the offering, UK retail investors will be able to access approximately 5,000 US-listed equities and American depositary receipts. The ISA supports both whole and fractional-share trading, and accounts can be opened in a matter of minutes via Robinhood's mobile app or website.

Product features and user tools

The ISA includes an integrated contribution tracker designed to present a simple interface for monitoring deposits across tax years and ensuring customers remain within annual ISA allowance limits. Robinhood has said customers will be able to transfer existing stocks & shares ISAs and cash ISAs from other providers into the new Robinhood ISA.

At launch, cash transfers from other ISA providers are supported. Robinhood confirmed that transfers of stocks into the stocks & shares ISA will be enabled in the near future.

AI and data features

Users will have access to Cortex Digests, an AI-powered tool that supplies near real-time context around stock price movements. Robinhood indicated additional AI-driven capabilities are scheduled for release later in the year in the UK.

Expansion of UK product suite

The stocks & shares ISA extends Robinhood UK's existing set of trading products, which already includes options trading, futures trading, margin investing, stock lending and Robinhood Legend, the platform's advanced desktop trading interface.

"Investing should be rewarding, not costly. With our 2% match on contributions and no commissions or account fee, the Robinhood stocks & shares ISA is built to change the way the UK invests," said Jordan Sinclair, President of Robinhood UK.

Market reference

The new ISA launch comes alongside public discussion of Robinhood Group's listed shares under the HOOD ticker. Readers seeking valuation context may note industry tools that provide fair-value estimates for publicly traded securities, including HOOD, though those tools and their methodologies are separate from Robinhood UK's product announcement.

This product rollout reflects Robinhood UK's broader strategy to broaden its retail offering in the UK market while highlighting low-fee pricing, enhanced digital tools and targeted promotional incentives.

Risks

  • The 2% cash bonus is time-limited to contributions made before April 5, 2026, and eligible funds must remain in the ISA for one year to qualify - this may affect short-term liquidity for savers.
  • Stock transfers into the new stocks & shares ISA are not yet supported at launch, which could delay seamless migration of existing positions from other providers.
  • Trades will incur a 0.10% foreign exchange fee, which could affect the effective cost of trading US-listed securities for UK investors.
