Robinhood is a beautiful mobile app (available both on iOS & Android) that makes the whole process of buying stocks dead-simple and free since you don’t have to pay for any fees.
The only two countries that are available for registering with Robinhood are as follows:
- United States of America
- United Kingdom (waiting list)
- Australia (waiting list – removed)

Although Robinhood was founded in 2013, and you might be asking why hasn’t it expanded as we expect it should after five whole years, the hurdle that Robinhood faces comes down to the regulation process of each foreign country.
The answer is simple: It’s a young company that’s just getting its feet wet. I mean, look at the size of their offices! They’re tiny! Basically, they’re working out all of their kinks before they expand. And when they do expand—hopefully soon—they’ll have an amazing team ready to grow and deliver on their vision.
It is not an easy task, and we’re talking about here one of the most regulated, closely government-controlled markets (the financial market) in the world, so it’ll take a little time before Robinhood gets the permission it needs to expand to a new country.
This page will be updated as soon as Robinhood moves into a new location. Until then, check back later to see if your country is on the list. 🙂
Thank you for simplifying information in such a beautiful manner. Really helped.
God damn it, I just wannna get stuck in and learn but it’s not out here in the U.K.
Plz expand it’s apparently the easiest stock buying method
I’m envious of all Americans, even the other countries on the list.
We badly need a service like this in Norway. Currently we’re low on the number of brokerage firms but high on the brokerage fees. If our banks have an app, it’s not really user friendly.
I’m waiting for this, hopefully when RH breaks through in other countries the expansions will grow faster and faster!
Robin hood please come to England we need you here . Let us in . You are the best trading app in the world..
