How to Withdraw Money from Robinhood Online?

The Robinhood app is designed to make your life easier whether you’re depositing, trading, or withdrawing, but doing it on your computer can be just as straightforward. To withdraw money using the Robinhood website, just follow these steps:

Log in to your Robinhood account.
Look for the “Account” option in the top-right corner of the Robinhood website.

Can I Cancel a Withdrawal?

If you act quick enough, you can cancel a withdrawal made through Robinhood, allowing you to use those funds to make other trades:

Visit your “Account”.
Look for “History” (if you’re using Android, you’ll need to hit the “Menu” Icon first)
Find your pending withdrawal and click or tap it.
Select the “Cancel Transfer” option.

Of course, you can only cancel the withdrawal if you catch it before it is processed, and this usually happens very quickly. This table is showing you how quick you need to be, depending on the time of the day:

If your transfer is processed	Cancel your Robinhood withdrawal
Between 2 AM and 3 PM	Up to 3 PM (on trading days)

After 7 PM	Up to 2 AM the next trading day

All times are ET.

How Long does it Take to Withdraw Money from Robinhood?

Before you can process any withdrawals through Robinhood, your funds need to “settle”, which means that at least 2 trading days need to pass before your sale funds will turn into withdrawable funds.

If you withdraw to a different bank account from the one that you deposited from, you may be asked for additional information. The waiting times will also likely extend as you wait for this period to pass. This is standard practice, and it’s there to prevent money laundering and fraud.

These issues aside, bank withdrawals are usually relatively fast and painless and Robinhood will allow you to withdraw up to $50,000 a day.¹
