Close my account

If you want to close your account, you can deactivate your Robinhood account in the app.

You can also view historical account statements, tax documents and trade confirmations in the app after your account has been deactivated.

Note

If you deactivate a joint account, you cannot reactivate it.

If you have a joint investing account, you’ll need to close positions and withdraw your money from it first. Then you can request to close your individual investing account positions and withdraw your money from within the app or on the web:

  1. Select Account (person icon) → in the app, Menu (3 bars)
  2. Select Settings
  3. Select Deactivate Account
  4. Follow the instructions to close all your brokerage positions and withdraw your outstanding balance
  5. After your balance is $0 and your positions are closed, you can confirm your deactivation request.
Keep in mind

If you deactivate an individual account, while you’re a co-owner on an active joint investing account, you may lose access to features in your joint account, such as Robinhood Gold, Stock lending, or Brokerage cash sweep program features.

Transfer your account

Instead of closing your account positions, you can request to transfer your Robinhood individual and joint investing accounts to another brokerage company:

  1. Choose where you’d like to transfer your investing account
  2. Submit a request to your new brokerage to have your assets transferred out of Robinhood. If you transfer all of your assets out, we’ll automatically close your Robinhood account for you.

If you need help, contact us.

Finding your account records

After your Robinhood account is closed, you’ll still be able to retrieve your account statements, tax documents, and trade confirmations in the app. Downloading the Robinhood app again won’t reactivate your account.

Regulations require us to preserve certain books and records. We take the security of all collected data extremely seriously, and we don’t intend to use this data for anything beyond the fulfillment of our regulatory requirements.
