Robinhood has made an unannounced change to its Gold card, new cardholders are now being charged a 3% foreign transaction fee. Previously, the home page did not state any foreign transaction fees and now does not state authorized user fees.
At first I thought this was for existing cardholders as well, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The change is only for new cardholders as of 7/1/26 with Robinhood stating:
Robinhood has introduced a new foreign exchange (FX) fee policy for credit cards. Starting 7/1, Credit will begin charging a new FX (foreign exchange) fee for customers who come on board on or after 7/1. Current credit card customers are not affected by this change at this time.
I suspect it’s doing a lot of work there ‘at the moment’, but they’ll have to give a notice to existing cardholders.
