Robinhood has become one of the most popular trading platforms in the US and it was meant to be a platform where everybody could trade freely. If you plan on using the platform, you’ll definitely want to know how to make withdrawals on Robinhood.

If you have been using the Robinhood app, knowing how to withdraw your funds is definitely important. When that time comes, it’s important to understand the ins and outs of how to trade and what restrictions you may face.

Below, we’ll walk you through the withdrawal process, plus go into how long Robinhood withdrawals take.

What limits are there when withdrawing from Robinhood?

Sometimes, you might have issues with withdrawing your money from your account on Robinhood. If you do run into any issues, it is most likely for one of the reasons below.

• Settlement period – Proceeds from selling stocks can only be withdrawn once the sale has settled. This is typically between two and three days, however, qualified Gold and Instant users can withdraw funds from sales immediately.
• Number and amount of withdrawals – You can only make up to five withdrawals a day, up to a total of $50,000, and only during business days.
• Deposit pending – Robinhood lets you start trading as soon as you make a deposit. But before you can withdraw those funds, you may have to wait up to five days for the deposit transaction to complete before you can withdraw those funds.
• Free stock sales – You can only withdraw money from sales of free stocks 30 days after you sell them.
• Restricted account – You won’t be able to withdraw funds if your account is restricted and not until your account restriction has been lifted. Check out this support page for help with restricted accounts.

Also, you should only withdraw into the account that you funded your Robinhood account with. If not, you might have to go through extra processes to identify yourself. It is possible to withdraw to a different account, but it makes the process a bit more tedious.

How long do Robinhood withdrawals take?

Robinhood offers a lot of instant satisfaction that was previously missing from the stock trading world. And that means that some people may be upset when they see their withdrawals don’t hit their bank accounts immediately.

But there’s no need to worry and this actually isn’t even Robinhood’s fault. Bank transfers of all kinds simply take a lot of time. There are a lot of backend processes happening to help protect from fraudulent transactions and things of that nature.

A Robinhood withdrawal typically takes around two to three days. And that number is comparable to any other sort of bank transfer that you might process from other platforms.

Occasionally, you’ll see your money in your account quicker than that. But it’s a safe bet to allow for two to three days for the transfer to finalize.
