Rationale
Robinhood is primarily an investment platform offering commission-free trading for stocks, options, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It also highlights security features. While it offers some financial services like earning interest on uninvested cash and instant deposits, it does not explicitly offer peer-to-peer transfers, a general-purpose prepaid debit card, or early direct deposit in the same manner as Cash App. Its focus is more on investing rather than a comprehensive mobile banking solution.
