Investing with a Robinhood brokerage account is commission free. We don't charge you fees to open or maintain your account.
Check if an investment professional or company is licensed or registered. Many investment scams start with unlicensed people or unregistered firms. Check out the background, including registration or license status, of anyone recommending or selling an investment using the free simple search tool on Investor.gov.
Are investing apps safe? Your money is protected in an investing app just as it is at any brokerage firm. If the brokerage goes under, your money is insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The SIPC will cover up to $500,000 in investments.

Webull is a solid broker choice for investors who are looking for a low-cost mobile trading platform. While not as well known as rival Robinhood, Webull's offering wins in several areas. You won't pay commissions on stocks, ETFs or options, and new investors can get started with fractional shares for as little as $5.
Stocks, ETFs, and Options on Webull are commission free, except for certain index options which are assessed a contract fee. Relevant and regulatory and exchange fees also apply. If you make a margin trade and hold the position overnight, you will be charged margin interest.
Webull is safe for beginners. The company uses 128-bit encryption and two-factor authentication. Perhaps more importantly, it is regulated by both the SEC and FINRA. It is worth noting that the app's social media function raises the risk that you may be approached by scammers.
If you transfer assets or cash from Robinhood to an outside brokerage, we'll charge you a $100 fee, which is debited from your Robinhood account's available cash balance.
Why won t Robinhood let me withdraw?
Users may occasionally encounter problems when withdrawing funds from Robinhood following a sale. It can be due to restrictions such as unresolved funds from recent transactions. Before attempting to withdraw, ensure all your recent trades are settled.
While Fidelity offers clients access to more than 10,000 mutual funds, including many proprietary funds, Robinhood doesn't allow mutual fund trading at all. Fidelity also offers the opportunity to buy CDs and bonds, which Robinhood doesn't.
Like most brokerages, Cash App Investing offers zero-commission stock trades. It doesn't offer trading in options, mutual funds, and other products that generally still have commissions, so for the time being, Cash App Investing is a totally commission-free platform.
What is Investing? Cash App Investing lets you own a slice of your favorite company with as little as $1.
Investing on Cash App may be a good option for beginner, active traders wanting to trade commission-free stocks, ETFs, fractional shares, and bitcoin. However, plenty of other low-cost, beginner-friendly investing apps have better trading features, account options, and resources.
