Wire transfers | Robinhood

Wire transfers

You can wire transfer an unlimited amount of money into your Robinhood investing account typically within 1 business day with no incoming wire fees from us. You may also have the option to wire transfer out to your bank account for a fee.

Wire transfers are typically faster than automated clearing house (ACH) transfers.

How to wire in

To wire money into your investing account:

  1. Go to Account (person icon)→ in the app, Menu (3 bars)
  2. Select Transfer
  3. Select Send a wire transferFrom your bank
  4. When prompted, give your bank or institution the provided on-screen wire instructions
Keep in mind

Make sure you provide the correct amount and wire instructions when initiating a wire because you can’t cancel it after it’s sent.

Note

You should be listed as an account holder on the receiving account.

How to wire out

To wire money to your bank account:

  1. Select Account (person icon) → in the app, Menu (3 bars)
  2. Select Transfers
  3. Select Send a wire transferTo your bank
  4. Choose an account to transfer money to:
  • Select a bank or institution that you’ve previously sent a wire to
  • Or enter information for a new bank or institution
  1. Select Continue
  2. Review your wire transfer and select Transfer
Note

If you don’t see this option, it may not be available just yet. We’re currently working on making this available to more customers.

Keep in mind

We charge a $25 fee for each outgoing wire transfer from your Robinhood investing account. This fee is deducted at the time of the transfer. It’s important to remember that the outgoing wire and fee are withdrawals that can impact your eligible account balance for any prior or current promotions.

For a smooth transfer process, it's important to leave the funds in your Robinhood account until the transfer is fully complete.

Timing

Your incoming transfer should arrive the same day if your bank initiates it before 4 PM ET, and the next business day if your bank initiates it after 4 PM ET.

Outgoing wires typically process within 1 business day.

However, if your wire requires additional review, please allow time for our team to investigate and give you an update.

Keep in mind

Weekends, stock market holidays, and banking holidays don’t count as business days. Check out Stock market holidays for more details.

Cancel a wire

Once a wire is sent, it can’t be canceled because it’s sent directly from the bank to Robinhood. However, if the sending bank hasn’t sent the funds yet, you may be able to contact them and ask them to cancel the transfer. The same goes for outgoing wire transfers——once initiated, they can't be canceled.

Unsupported wires

We currently don't support the following types of wire transfers:

  • Wire transfers in or out of your Retirement or Spending accounts
  • International wire transfers
  • Wires out to accounts owned by third parties
  • Wires between accounts you own at Robinhood (you can initiate internal transfers between accounts instead)

Manual outgoing wires

We may be able to process an outgoing wire request manually. Contact us to request help with a supported outgoing wire.

Wires for home closures

To initiate a wire transfer for a home closure, you’ll need to contact Robinhood Support. When you contact us, we’ll send you a wire transfer form to complete. Please also have the following documents ready to upload:

  • Photo ID
  • Signed letter from the title company or a home purchase contract including their wire instructions
Note

It can take up to 5 business days to initiate an outgoing wire transfer.

Limits and fees

We don’t limit how much you can wire or charge any fees for incoming wire transfers. Keep in mind that banks typically do charge for wire transfers and we charge a $25 fee for outgoing wires.
