Yes, you can withdraw money from Robinhood, just like you would from any other financial account. The process is straightforward, but there are specific details you should be aware of to ensure a smooth transaction. Robinhood allows you to transfer funds from your brokerage account to your linked bank account. However, before initiating a withdrawal, it’s important to understand the concept of "withdrawable cash" and why your available balance might sometimes show as $0.
Funds Are Still Settling: If you recently sold stocks or other assets, the proceeds might still be in the settlement process. You’ll need to wait two business days after the sale for these funds to become available for withdrawal.
Pending Deposits: If you’ve recently deposited funds into your Robinhood account, those funds may still be pending clearance. Robinhood typically places a hold on deposits for up to five business days before they can be withdrawn.
Ongoing Transactions: If you have any pending transactions, such as stock purchases, these may also affect your withdrawable balance. Ensure all trades are complete and funds have settled before attempting to withdraw.
Account Restrictions: In rare cases, your account may be subject to restrictions that prevent withdrawals. This could happen due to regulatory requirements, or if Robinhood needs to verify your identity or other details.
Go to the Account Menu: Click on the account icon in the bottom-right corner (mobile app) or top-right corner (web).
Select ‘Transfers’: Find and click on the "Transfers" option in the menu.
Choose ‘Transfer to Your Bank’: This option allows you to move funds from your Robinhood account to your linked bank account.
Enter the Amount: Specify the amount you wish to withdraw. Ensure it does not exceed your available withdrawable cash.
Confirm Bank Account: Double-check the bank account details to which you want to transfer the money.
Submit the Request: After reviewing all details, submit the withdrawal request. The funds should appear in your bank account within 1-3 business days.
Understanding Robinhood Withdrawable Cash
Withdrawable cash refers to the amount of money in your Robinhood account that you can transfer to your bank account. This cash becomes available after the settlement period of any sales of stocks or other securities. In the U.S., the standard settlement period is two business days, also known as T+2 (Trade date plus two days). Only after this period ends do the proceeds from your trades become withdrawable cash.Why is My Withdrawable Cash $0 on Robinhood?
