Robinhood for Web: In November, we launched Robinhood for Web, a brand-new web platform with interactive research and discovery tools, so you can make better-informed investment decisions. We also introduced Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS), a portfolio transfer service so you can move outside portfolios to Robinhood.
