Effective Nov 9, 2026: Robinhood launches commission-free IPO Access for UK customers. Affects: Robinhood UK customers with a general investment account. Source: robinhood.com, verified Nov 9, 2026.

Robinhood said on 9 November 2026 that it is launching IPO Access in the UK with no commission. Robinhood UK customers can now request shares in eligible new US listings at the official offer price before public trading opens, through their general investment account.
Robinhood says it works with a UK Public Offer Platform provider to reach eligible IPOs, but has not named that provider or said which listings will be offered first. Prospectuses and SEC filings will sit on each listing's page in the app, and allocation requests will show alongside a customer's portfolio. The announcement does not say how shares are allocated when demand exceeds supply; Robinhood's US help pages say requests can be filled in full, in part or not at all.
IPO Access launched in the US in 2021, and Robinhood says it has since worked on more than 50 IPOs. The UK launch covers stock IPOs only and does not change Robinhood's crypto trading in the UK, which runs through Bitstamp UK. Robinhood's own disclosure warns that IPO share prices can be highly volatile, especially soon after listing.
“For the first time, Robinhood UK customers will be able to request shares in new US listings at the official offer price before public trading opens.”
