US Regulator Announces A Deal To Protect Investors

The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation said that the company behind cryptocurrency and stock trading platform Robinhood will likely pay more than $10 million in penalties for “operational and technical failures that hurt high-street investors.”

In an April 6 announcement, DFPI said the settlement was the result of an investigation conducted by the North American Securities Managers Association for up to $10.2 million in conjunction with securities regulators in Alabama, Colorado, California, Delaware, New Jersey, South Dakota and the United States.

The platform experienced a series of system outages in March 2020, causing users to miss transactions while most of its services were unavailable.

NASAA chief Andrew Hartnett said:

“Robinhood has repeatedly failed to serve its customers. However, this agreement makes it clear that Robinhood must take its customer service obligations seriously and correct these deficiencies.”
