FAQs

Transfer your assets out | Robinhood? ›

How to initiate a transfer: To begin the process, you'll need to ask the outside brokerage to initiate the transfer. After they submit the transfer instructions to our clearing firm, Robinhood Securities (RHS), who will then follow them to transfer your assets out.

Standard bank transfer: No fee for withdrawals. External debit card account: Withdrawals have up to a 1.75% fee based on the amount being transferred out. You'll see the calculated fee when you initiate the withdrawal, so you'll know the amount up front.

An in-kind or ACAT transfer allows you to transfer your investments between brokers as is, meaning you don't have to sell investments and transfer the cash proceeds — you can simply move your existing investments to the new broker.

Many brokers charge a fee when you transfer brokerage account assets. The typical fee ranges from about $50 to $100, but not every broker has an account transfer fee. The only way to know how much your old broker charges is to check its list of fees or contact customer service.

You can transfer stocks, cash, and other eligible assets from your outside brokerages into Robinhood through ACATS. You can transfer all or part of an outside account. We only accept assets from individual cash, margin brokerage accounts, or traditional or Roth IRAs.

Following a sale in your investing or retirement account for equities or options, the transaction usually needs to settle before you can withdraw the proceeds to your bank account. The settlement period for equities is the trade date plus 2 trading days (T+2), sometimes referred to as regular-way settlement.

Shares that have a capital gain can easily be transferred along with the gains to the stock recipient. There's a catch. The recipient of the stock would have to pay taxes on the capital gains, but only once they sell the stocks. This will include the difference between the original cost basis and the selling price.

The best and most common way to transfer stock between brokers is by direct transfer. Most brokers use the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS) to directly transfer investments.

Myth 1: Brokerage transfers require you to pay taxes.

Not necessarily. If you do an in-kind transfer, meaning you move your stocks from one brokerage to another without buying or selling, you won't pay taxes because the transfer isn't considered a taxable event.
