Are there fees for transfers?
You can deposit British pounds sterling (GBP) and hold, and convert both GBP and US dollars (USD) in your Robinhood UK account.
Keep in mind that all trades are executed in USD, but you can control how to manage the funds in your account. You can keep your uninvested cash in GBP or USD and only need to pay a foreign exchange (FX) conversion fee when converting GBP to USD or vice versa.
The current FX exchange rate will show in the app when you convert currency and includes the FX conversion fee. For details, review Multi-currency experience.
Check out Robinhood’s fee schedule for more details.
You can only deposit and withdraw funds in GBP. When you deposit GBP into your account, the GBP will not be automatically converted to USD. When you convert your GBP to USD or your USD to GBP, it will be converted at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time. Fluctuations in the USD/GBP exchange rate may affect the amount of GBP you ultimately realise. Converting currency within your account is subject to FX fees.
