Robinhood will allow customers to deploy AI agents to trade stocks and make credit card purchases, the company announced Wednesday.
Users can create separate trading accounts for their AI agents to trade equities autonomously. Robinhood plans to expand into derivatives, crypto, and prediction markets later.
These AI agents go beyond simple chatbots-they plan and make independent decisions. Fintech firms are racing to turn them into tools for real-world transactions. Visa launched a similar platform in 2025.
Users can also give agents access to a virtual Robinhood Gold credit card for automatic purchases, like grabbing concert tickets before they sell out.
Robinhood says it has guardrails against agents going rogue: spending limits and manual purchase approvals. A Deloitte survey found only 21% of organizations have mature governance for agentic AI.
