File Your Claim →What Happened?
Robinhood, the popular commission-free trading app, was sued for failing to provide "best execution" on customer trades — meaning it did not route trades to the venues that would give customers the best prices. Instead, Robinhood allegedly sold its order flow to high-frequency trading firms through a practice called payment for order flow, without adequately disclosing this practice to customers.
The lawsuit alleged that customers received worse prices on their trades than they would have on other platforms, effectively costing them money despite the app's "commission-free" marketing. Robinhood agreed to pay $2 million to settle the class action.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
Estimated payment is approximately $17 per person with no proof required. You simply confirm you placed equity trades on Robinhood during the qualifying period between September 2016 and September 2018. Deadline is July 13, 2026.
