The Incentives team drives user growth and engagement through both strategic incentives and platform capabilities. One sub-team focuses on increasing net deposits by testing incentive and non-incentive levers, while the other builds Robinhood’s centralized, scalable platform to support personalized, company-wide rewards.

They own key systems for identity verification, KYC, and fraud prevention across all products, and collaborate closely with teams like Data Science, Brokerage, Crypto, and Security to support global expansion and product launches.
