The brokerage enables autonomous AI agents to execute equity trades and credit card transactions under user-set limits.
Robinhood will permit customers to use AI agents for automated stock trading and credit card purchases, the company announced. Users can create a separate trading account for AI agents to execute trades independently, with plans to expand to derivatives, crypto, and prediction markets in the future.
The move follows Visa’s 2025 rollout of AI-driven shopping delegation and reflects fintech’s push to integrate autonomous agents into real-world transactions. Robinhood’s AI agents can also access a virtual Gold credit card to make purchases, such as buying concert tickets or products at preset price thresholds.
Executives stated guardrails, including spending limits and manual approval requirements, are in place to mitigate risks of unintended transactions. The feature targets early adopters of AI-driven financial tools.
