Similar to the US, you\u2019ll find no trading commissions on Robinhood UK when you\u2019re buying or selling stocks.*<\/li><li><strong>No foreign exchange (FX) fees.<\/strong> In a UK first, and unlike the majority of brokers, Robinhood doesn\u2019t charge FX fees on international trades. This means you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/invest-in\/overseas-shares\/us-stocks\">invest in US stocks<\/a> without currency conversion fees taking a chunk out of your investment (keep in mind there is a 0.03% third party fee).<\/li><li><strong>24-Hour market access.<\/strong> Trading stocks in the US can be a nightmare due to stock market opening hours and the timezone difference. So, Robinhood bridges the gap by letting you trade 24 hours a day, 5 days a week to align your investing schedule with your regular day.**<\/li><li><strong>Fractional shares.<\/strong> You can buy or sell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/fractional-shares\">fractional shares<\/a> (pieces of stocks) starting from as little as $1, which helps you stay diversified even if you\u2019re investing on a budget with smaller amounts.<\/li><li><strong>Competitive interest.<\/strong> Robinhood offers a competitive rate of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/best-investment-platform-cash-interest\">interest on uninvested cash<\/a> sitting in your account. The rate of interest available largely depends on the base rate (Fed Funds Rate) set by the US Federal Reserve, so it can shift.<\/li><li><strong>Lend your shares.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/share-lending\">Securities lending<\/a> (also known as \u201cstock lending\u201d, or \u201cshare lending\u201d if you want to get less formal) involves lending out shares in your portfolio to borrowers (other investors). You can do this on Robinhood to earn some extra passive income.***<\/li><li><strong>Margin investing.<\/strong> For some investors, margin investing is available on Robinhood, allowing increased buying power by leveraging smaller sums. However, it\u2019s important to note that margin investing carries higher risks, including the potential to lose more than your initial investment.****<\/li><li><strong>Options trading.<\/strong> An extremely popular feature in the US, we had to wait a little while to get it in the UK, but Robinhood now lets investors trade options with competitive fees. Options trading requires an added level of experience, for those who know their way around options contracts, Robinhood has a cheap offering \u2013 all packed into its sleek platform.****<\/li><\/ul><h3>Educating and empowering UK investors<\/h3><p>Robinhood isn\u2019t just a trading platform; alongside all the investing features, it also offers plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/robinhood.com\/gb\/en\/learn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">learning and educational resources<\/a>, including some useful tutorials. <\/p><p>It\u2019s free to access Robinhood\u2019s learning materials, which includes plenty of basic information around investing and diversification along with more in-depth guides like how to trade options. <\/p><p>The commitment to educating UK investors helps ensure that people are better-equipped to make sensible investment decisions, making it easier for people to invest for the long-haul.<\/p><h3>What\u2019s next for Robinhood in the UK?<\/h3><p>It\u2019s been full-steam ahead since Robinhood landed, and it doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s slowing down anytime soon. <\/p><p>We\u2019ve seen plenty of useful features added onto the platform as it continues to find its footing here in the UK. <\/p><p>Hopefully, we\u2019ll see new additions like the ability to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/stocks-and-shares-isas\">stocks and shares ISA<\/a> or the option to invest in other assets like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/exchange-traded-funds-etfs\">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)<\/a> before too long. <\/p><p>At the moment, Robinhood is still limited to US stocks only, but there are over 6,000 to choose from and the Robinhood UK platform still manages to pack a punch \u2013 even with its limitations. <\/p><p>If you want to learn more, you can take a look at our in-depth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/share-trading-reviews\/robinhood\">Robinhood UK review<\/a>.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><p>*Commission-free trading refers to $0 commissions on stocks for Robinhood self-directed individual brokerage accounts that trade U.S. listed securities and ADRs. Keep in mind, contract fees apply when trading options and other costs such as regulatory fees may also apply to the brokerage account.<\/p><p>**Robinhood\u2019s 24 Hour Market is available from Sunday 8 PM ET to Friday 8 PM ET. Trading outside of market hours involves additional risks like increased price volatility and lower trading volume.<\/p><p>***Stock Lending income is not guaranteed.
