Debit Card Transfers
The good news is that you can transfer money from a non-Robinhood Visa or Mastercard debit card to your Robinhood account.
However, there are a few steps you need to take to link and verify your debit card before you can make a transfer.
How To Link Debit Card
- To link and verify your debit card in the Robinhood app or on the web, you need to go to your account, select Transfers, then Linked accounts, and Add account.
- From there, select Debit card and enter your card information. Once you've entered your information, tap Link card.
- Next, Robinhood will temporarily charge $1.95 to your bank account to confirm your debit card. This charge typically appears in a few minutes, but it may take longer depending on your bank.
- You'll need to check your bank account and find the $1.95 temporary charge with RH* followed by a 6-digit code on your statement.
- Copy the 6-digit code, return to the Robinhood app, and select Continue.
- Enter the code and select Confirm, and you'll receive confirmation in the app when your card is successfully verified and ready to use.
- Once your debit card is linked and verified, you can transfer funds to your Robinhood account.
Instant Transfer Fee
Be sure to keep an eye on any potential fees associated with this process.
The fee is 1.5% of the withdrawal amount, which is deducted from the requested amount when it’s transferred.
