The new IPO Access service will allow Robinhood users to explore upcoming initial public offerings and also company information including their important milestones, business models, management teams and risk factors.

Then they’ll be able to request to buy stocks at their IPO price range. After the final price is set, they will be able to review, edit or cancel their requests until the shares are allocated to Robinhood users, said the company. 

The new IPO Access service will be rolled out to all Robinhood users soon in the next few weeks.
