Robinhood Expands into Mortgages with Sage Partnership
Robinhood has launched a new mortgage offering exclusively for Robinhood Gold subscribers through a partnership with Sage Home Loans, a digital mortgage lender. This service provides mortgage rates at least 0.75% below the national average.
Mortgage Benefits for Subscribers
- Access to mortgage rates at least 0.75% below the national average.
- A $500 credit toward closing costs on new home purchases or refinancing.
Background and Context
While Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD) has recently focused on international expansion, including futures trading in the UK and licensing efforts in Dubai, it continues to grow its product offerings domestically. The mortgage program was initially piloted this summer with a select group of Robinhood Gold subscribers.
"Starting today, all eligible Robinhood Gold subscribers can access mortgage rates at what the company claims are at least 0.75% below the national average, along with a $500 credit toward closing costs on new home purchases or refinances, powered by Sage Home Loans."
The timing of this broader launch coincides with ongoing affordability challenges in the housing market, where refinancing may offer homeowners significant savings over the duration of their loans.
