Coming back to Robinhood

We’d be happy to see you again if you’d like to come back to trading with us!

To come back depends on how you closed your account:

  • ACATS transfer: If you transferred all of your assets out of Robinhood through the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS), then it depends when you closed your account with us:

    • Within 6 months: If you closed your account within the last 6 months, you’ll need to follow the instructions in What you need to get started and Open my account to submit a new application.
    • After 6 months: If you closed your account more than 6 months ago, you can follow the steps in Confirm and reactivate your account to get back trading with us.
  • Non-ACATS transfer: If you transferred your assets out of your Robinhood account through ACH, Debit Card, or other non-ACAT option transfer or account closure, you can follow the steps in Confirm and reactivate your account to get back to trading with us.
