Where Can Regular People Buy IPO Shares? Brokerages to Check

By Simone Carter · 10 Geeky · October 27, 2026

Not every brokerage receives shares in every IPO. These are established companies with programs or services worth checking; none is confirmed here to offer an allocation in Anthropic's proposed IPO.

Brokerage directory — official links

Robinhood IPO Access — selected retail IPO opportunities; allocation not guaranteed.
SoFi Invest — check availability for each offering.
E*TRADE New Issues — eligibility and investor profile requirements.
Charles Schwab — IPO availability and account eligibility vary.
Fidelity IPO Participation — qualifying asset or client-status requirements may apply.
Interactive Brokers — check supported offerings and jurisdiction.
Coinbase — cryptocurrency services are not proof of IPO access. Do not assume any Anthropic allocation; verify the specific regulated offering before opening or funding an account.

Before investing, review the prospectus at SEC EDGAR and confirm registration at FINRA BrokerCheck. Small account minimums do not guarantee IPO access.
