    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct::
    THE COMMISSIONER OF FINANCIAL PROTECTION AND INNOVATION v. ROBINHOOD FINANCIAL, LLC,
    On April 4, 2023, Robinhood Financial, LLC entered into a consent agreement (CRD NO: 165998) with the Commissioner of Financial Protection and Innovation (CFPI). 

    The consent agreement stems from an investigation brought by state securities regulators from Alabama, Colorado, California, Delaware, New Jersey, South Dakota and Texas.  According to court documents, it was alleged that Robinhood was negligent in inaccurate information it provided to customers, including margin and risk associated with multi-leg options spreads, provided an inadequate identification program, failed to supervise technology critical to providing customers with broker-dealer services, provided an inadequate system for customer service inquiries,  failed to exercise due diligence before approving certain option accounts and failing to report customer complaints the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and state securities regulators as required.

    Without admitting or denying the findings, Robinhood in addition to internal changes already implemented, was ordered to pay up to $10.2 million in penalties. $200,000.00 in penalties will be paid to CFPI for violations of corporate securities law.

      These people have treated my very badly. I got scammed, I lost money, and they made ME jump through hoops resubmitting all my ID info and even bank records!!! And then mere weeks after doing all this, they restricted my account again! I talked to them, and now they want me to resubmit all that info all over again. This is unconscionable, indicative of incredible ineptitude, certainly not decent 'customer' service. I think they should be investigated.
