Robinhood Connect
Robinhood Connect is an easy way to buy and transfer crypto directly to self-custody wallets and dapps. You can make fast purchases with low fees using your debit card, bank account, or Robinhood account.
Robinhood Connect offers the same list of coins that are currently supported by Robinhood Crypto. Not all coins are available in every state and may be subject to regulatory approval in certain states. Coin availability is also dependent on the crypto assets supported by the self-custody wallet or dapp.
The timeframe for transferring your crypto to and from your wallet depends on a few factors, including the payment method you used (bank account or debit card), and network conditions. Learn more about transfer times in Crypto transfers.
We require a certain number of network confirmations before crypto is credited to your Robinhood account. The number of confirmations may vary depending on, among other things, network conditions. Under ordinary conditions, this process can take up to a few hours. We also review each transfer for security and safety reasons, which typically takes just a few minutes but on rare occasions it could take longer. We'll let you know in the app as soon as your crypto is available.
Once you submit your order, you’ll be directed to an order status screen. This provides real-time updates on the progress of your order. You’ll see when your order has been submitted, confirmed, when it is in the process of transferring, and when it is complete. To review the details of your order, select View order details.
We’ll promptly notify you as soon as your crypto transfer is initiated.
