Robinhood UK unveiled its stocks & shares ISA on Monday with competitive pricing. The product charges zero platform fees and no commissions on trades.
A 0.10% foreign exchange fee applies per trade. Eligible contributions made before April 5, 2026 earn a 2% cash bonus when held for one year.
Users access approximately 5,000 US-listed stocks and American Depositary Receipts. Fractional share trading is available alongside whole shares.
The account opens in minutes via app or website. A contribution tracker monitors deposits across tax years to maintain ISA limit compliance.
Jordan Sinclair, President of Robinhood UK, stated the ISA aims to change how the UK invests through rewarding terms and low costs.
Customers can transfer existing stocks & shares ISAs or cash ISAs from other providers. Stock transfers arrive in the near future while cash transfers work now.

The ISA joins existing UK offerings including options trading, futures trading, margin investing, stock lending, and Robinhood Legend desktop platform.
Stock Performance and Price Targets
HOOD shares trade at $99.48 after dropping 35% from the October 9 all-time closing high of $152.46. The stock sits 35% below its 52-week high of $153.86.
Piper Sandler reaffirmed an Overweight rating with a $155 price target. The target sits within the $90 to $180 analyst range.
Three factors weigh on shares short-term per Piper Sandler. Cryptocurrency trading volumes slowed as token prices declined. Football season ended, impacting prediction market revenues. Questions persist about retail trading strength sustainability.
The stock’s 2.45 beta creates higher volatility versus the broader market. Technical indicators show the RSI in oversold territory.
Piper Sandler holds its positive long-term outlook despite near-term pressures. The firm positions Robinhood as the top investment for retail trading growth.
