Instant bank transfers

Deposits

The deposit option with an Instant bank transfer lets you deposit money from your bank to your Robinhood account in minutes instead of days with no Robinhood fees.

Keep in mind

Deposits with Instant bank transfer are only supported for select banks at this time.

  2. Select TransfersTransfer Money
  3. Enter the deposit details
  4. Select ReviewTransfer
  5. Select Start instant transfer*
  6. When you receive a notification from your bank, follow the instructions to accept the transfer
  7. Once accepted, the money settles in your Robinhood account within 10 minutes (sometimes longer depending on your bank)

*You’ll only see this option if your bank is eligible, you link your bank account with Plaid, and the transfer amount is within the limit.

Note

The request will automatically be canceled after 30 minutes if you don’t accept the transfer.

Withdrawals

The withdrawal option with Instant bank transfer offers you a faster way to move money to your bank.

In comparison to the free option that takes 4-5 business days to complete, an instant transfer typically takes 10 minutes (sometimes longer depending on your bank).

If your bank is eligible for instant bank transfer - withdrawals, and you link your bank account with Plaid, you’ll see the Instant transfer option after you enter your withdrawal details.

Keep in mind

Instant bank transfer - withdrawals are only supported for select banks at this time.

  1. Select Account (person icon) → Menu (3 bars)
  2. Select TransfersTransfer Money
  3. Enter transfer details
  4. Select Instant transfers*
  5. Follow the prompts to submit the transfer

Similar to a debit card withdrawal, the fee can be up to 1.75% of the withdrawal amount, which is deducted from the requested amount when it’s transferred. The minimum fee is $1 and the maximum fee is $150 that’s charged for this type of withdrawal.

*You’ll only see this option if your bank is eligible, you link your bank account with Plaid, and the transfer amount is within the limit.

Example

If you request $100 to transfer, and then select the Instant transfer option, the total transfer amount will change to deduct the fee, such as to $98.25.

Note

If we don’t receive confirmation from your bank within 24 hours of the request, any incomplete withdrawals with the instant transfer option will expire with no fees. To make a withdrawal, you'll need to request a new transfer.

Limits

For instant bank transfers:

  • Your transfer limits (amount and frequency) may vary and reset at 12 AM ET
  • You’ll see your daily deposit and withdrawal limit (amount and frequency) before you submit your transfer or by going to TransfersTransfer limits
