Robinhood Gold Adds 3% Foreign Transaction Fee

Robinhood has made an unannounced change to it’s Gold card, new cardholders are now being charged a 3% foreign transaction fee. Previously the homepage stated no foreign transaction fees and now it states no 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 the credit card. Starting 7/1, Credit will begin charging a new FX (foreign exchange) fee for customers who are onboarded on or after 7/1. Current credit card customers are not impacted by this change for now.

I suspect the ‘for now’ is doing a lot of work there but they will need to provide existing cardholders with some notice.
