How do I downgrade from Gold? | Robinhood

How do I downgrade from Gold?

You can end your Robinhood Gold subscription by going to Account → in the app, Menu (3 bars) → InvestingRobinhood GoldCancel membership. If you downgrade, you'll still have access to the premium features, such as the higher brokerage cash sweep rate until your billing cycle ends.

Be sure to cancel your subscription before your next billing date to avoid being charged a renewal for another billing cycle of Gold. You can find the next billing date in Account → in the app, Menu (3 bars) → InvestingRobinhood Gold. If you change your mind and decide to upgrade your account before the end of your previous billing cycle, you’ll resume your old billing cycle.

How do I stop using bigger Instant Deposits?

You’ll be able to use Gold-level Instant Deposits up to the end of your 30-day paid period. After that, you won’t be able to initiate a new Gold-level Instant Deposit unless you re-subscribe to Gold.

If you change your mind and decide to upgrade your account before the end of your previous billing cycle, you’ll resume your old billing cycle.

Additionally, if you have brokerage cash sweep enabled and downgrade from Gold, the interest rate you can earn on any uninvested cash will switch to the lower non-Gold annual percentage yield (APY) of 0.01% when your billing cycle ends.

If you need help downgrading, contact us.

What happens to my boost if I cancel Gold?

Any pending boost and future payouts are lost if you cancel your Gold membership.

Note

If you downgrade in the middle of your billing cycle, the monthly fee won’t be prorated.

Disclosures

The brokerage cash sweep program is an added feature to your Robinhood Financial LLC individual investing account. Robinhood Gold is offered through Robinhood Gold, LLC. For more information, see the Robinhood Gold User Agreement.

Interest is earned on uninvested cash swept from your individual investing account to program banks. Program banks pay interest on your swept cash, minus any fees paid to Robinhood. As of May 8, 2024, you'll receive 0.01% APY, or 5% (with Gold). Any fees Robinhood receives may vary and are subject to change. Neither Robinhood Financial LLC nor any of its affiliates are banks.

With the brokerage cash sweep program, the eligible uninvested cash in your individual investing account (unrestricted cash intended for investing but that you have not yet invested or spent) is swept to program banks, where it becomes eligible for FDIC insurance up to $2.5 million or $250,000 per program bank, inclusive of any other deposits you may already hold at the bank in the same ownership capacity. Note that until funds are swept to a program bank, they are held in your individual investing account which is protected by SIPC. Once funds are swept to a program bank, they are no longer held in your individual investing account and are not protected by SIPC. However, these funds are eligible for FDIC insurance through the program banks subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits and any capacity limitations at the banks. Review the IntraFi Network Deposit Sweep Program Agreement for more information.

Member of SIPC, which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). Explanatory brochure available upon request or at www.sipc.org.
