Robinhood Enters Mortgage Market with Sage Partnership
Robinhood has launched a new mortgage program for its Robinhood Gold subscribers through a partnership with Sage Home Loans, a digital mortgage provider. This marks another step in Robinhood’s effort to diversify its offerings beyond stocks and trading.
Details of the Offer
- All eligible Robinhood Gold users can now access mortgage rates reportedly at least 0.75% below the national average.
- The program includes a $500 credit toward closing costs for new home purchases or refinancing.
- The mortgage service is powered and managed by Sage Home Loans.
Background and Expansion
The new mortgage initiative was first tested during the summer with a limited group of subscribers. Its full rollout in the U.S. follows Robinhood’s growing activity in international markets, such as expanding futures trading to the UK and pursuing a Dubai DFSA license.
“All eligible Robinhood Gold subscribers can access mortgage rates at least 0.75% below the national average,” the company stated.
Market Context
This launch arrives amid rising concerns over housing affordability in the U.S. As interest rates remain elevated, refinancing through lower rates could help homeowners reduce long-term borrowing costs.
