Robinhood introduces Gold Card with cash-back benefits

Gold Card

Robinhood is unveiling its Gold Card, a new product offering features like a 3% cash-back option that can be reinvested or deposited into a savings account. The account offers 5% APY and access to zero-fee trading, research reports, and valuable market data. These services come at a nominal monthly fee to their Gold members.

This innovative card promotes a higher level of financial literacy among its users by providing insights into real-time trading data. However, it remains unclear how this new addition will impact the company’s profits. The Gold Card uses technology previously acquired by Robinhood—the success of this application could be a game-changer for Robinhood and its operations.
