Robinhood launches AI‑agent trading and credit‑card service with 3% cash back
Robinhood announced that customers can now use AI agents to make purchases on their behalf through a virtual credit card linked to the Robinhood Gold card, earning the standard 3% cash‑back reward. The virtual card can be deleted at any time and users may set spending caps or require manual approval for agent transactions.
In parallel, the platform introduced a beta “agentic trading” feature that creates separate accounts for AI agents to autonomously buy and sell equities using funds allocated to the agent. Users can pause the autonomous trading, preview proposed trades, and later expand the service to options, crypto, event contracts and futures. The rollout targets tech‑savvy early adopters, and CEO Vlad Tenev said the move extends Robinhood’s mission to democratize finance to AI agents.
