Investors often find themselves wanting to transfer their stock holdings from one brokerage platform to another for various reasons.
If you're a Cash App Investing user looking to move your stocks to an external brokerage account, you can do so using the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS).
In order to initiate the ACATS transfer from Cash App to Robinhood, you will need to find your Cash App account number. This number can be found at the top of any trade confirmations or monthly statements.
With the account number, you are all set to initiate the transfer. The receiving broker—Robinhood—will work with Cash App's carrying broker, DriveWealth, LLC, to facilitate the transfer. Please note that as of now, Cash App charges a $75 fee for all completed outbound stock transfers. However, Robinhood might reimburse this fee up to $75 for accounts transferred worth $7,500 or more, so it's best to check their current policies.
Cash App's transfer fee and Robinhood's reimbursement policy can change, so always check the latest terms before initiating a transfer.
Cash App Investing supports the transfer of whole shares only. Any fractional shares you own will remain in your Cash App Investing account. However, you have the option to sell these fractional shares through Cash App after the transfer is complete.
If you are looking to close your entire Cash App Investing account after the transfer, you may wish to sell the fractional amount of shares that you own prior to the transfer. Make sure you consider any tax implications and consult a tax professional if necessary.
ACATS transfers must be initiated by the receiving brokerage, not Cash App. To transfer stocks from Cash App Investing to Robinhood, you’ll start the process directly within your Robinhood account.
To begin the transfer:
Open the Robinhood app or log in on desktop
Navigate to Transfers or Move Money
Select Transfer an account to Robinhood
Choose Cash App Investing (clearing broker: DriveWealth, LLC) as the delivering firm
Enter your 17-digit Cash App Investing account number exactly as it appears on your statements
Choose whether you want a full or partial account transfer
Once submitted, Robinhood will initiate the ACATS request with DriveWealth. Eligible whole shares will transfer automatically, while any fractional shares will remain in your Cash App Investing account.
Most transfers are completed within 3–6 business days. After the request is submitted, Robinhood will provide status updates as the receiving brokerage.
