Robinhood Sign-Up Bonus: What New Customers Get
Offer checked 27 September 2026 on robinhood.com. Brokerage bonuses change often, so confirm the current terms in the Robinhood app before you fund your account.
The current offer
- A free stock: Robinhood says new customers' first stock is on it. The stock is chosen at random, and the value and any funding requirement are shown in the app when you sign up.
- A 30-day free Gold trial: 3.6% APY on eligible cash, bigger instant deposits and the first $1,000 of margin interest-free, then $5 a month.
How to qualify
- Open a new Robinhood account through the offer link.
- Link a bank account and meet any deposit requirement shown in the offer terms.
- Check the terms for how long you must keep the stock before you can sell it and withdraw the money.
When you get it
The free stock is usually credited soon after your account is approved and linked. The offer terms in the app give the exact timing.
Is it worth it?
A sign-up bonus shouldn't decide which broker you use. The bigger long-term perks at Robinhood are the IRA match (1%, or 3% with Gold) and low margin rates. Compare every current broker offer in brokerage sign-up bonuses.
FAQ
Is the Robinhood free stock really free? It's a real share, but its value is usually small, and you may need to hold it for a period before selling.
Do I have to pay tax on a brokerage bonus? Usually yes. Cash and stock bonuses are generally taxable income, and brokers often report them on a 1099.
