Homeownership just got a little closer for Robinhood’s premium users. The trading platform has unveiled a nationwide mortgage benefit for its Gold subscribers, offering discounted rates through a new partnership with Sage Home Loans.

The move marks Robinhood’s latest step beyond trading and investing, positioning the company in one of the most competitive corners of consumer finance.
A New Route to Homeownership
According to the fintech giant, eligible Robinhood Gold members can apply for home loans or refinancing through Sage Home Loans and enjoy mortgage rates at least 0.75% below the national average.
Subscribers will also receive a $500 closing credit, making the offer particularly attractive at a time when affordability remains a key concern in the U.S. housing market.

The program was reportedly tested earlier this year among a limited group of users before expanding nationwide. With mortgage costs at multi-decade highs, Robinhood is betting that lower rates and a simplified digital experience will appeal to both first-time buyers and refinancers.
The collaboration underscores the ongoing transformation of the mortgage industry by technology. By integrating Sage’s digital lending tools into the Robinhood ecosystem, the two firms aim to streamline the entire borrowing process — from application to approval.
Sage Home Loans reportedly uses a data-driven platform to automate underwriting and improve transparency. For Robinhood, the partnership extends its brand of accessible finance into a new frontier: homeownership.
The launch underscores Robinhood’s ongoing evolution from a trading app into a broader financial platform. Over the past few years, the company has expanded into credit cards, retirement accounts, and now mortgages, aiming to offer users an all-in-one ecosystem for saving, investing, and borrowing.
More Recent Collaborations
Robinhood also recently expanded its UK offering by introducing futures trading, marking another step in its bid to attract active traders in Europe. The rollout brings more than 40 CME Group contracts to the platform, allowing UK customers to trade products spanning indices, energy, metals, and foreign exchange directly through the Robinhood app or its desktop platform, Robinhood Legend.
The launch builds on Robinhood’s recent introduction of options and desktop trading in the UK, underscoring its deepening partnership with CME Group and broader ambitions to grow beyond its U.S. base.
Futures contracts will incur fees starting at $0.75 per trade, with real-time market data provided at no additional cost; however, exchange and regulatory fees will still apply.
Additionally, recently reports emerged that Robinhood was exploring an international expansion of its prediction markets product, holding talks with regulators in the UK and Europe to gauge how such event-based trading could be introduced outside the U.S.
