Transfer Considerations

Before you initiate the transfer, you should consider the following factors.

You can transfer your Robinhood stocks and cash to Fidelity through the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS).

A transfer of assets is the movement of all or part of an account from one financial institution to another without the need to sell your existing holdings.

Fidelity allows you to transfer various security types, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and more. This process extends to investment accounts, retirement accounts, workplace accounts like 401(k) or 403(b), and even cash from checking or savings accounts.

Typically, the Transfer of Assets process takes 3 to 5 business days, depending on the type of account and investments being transferred.

Crypto assets, however, cannot be transferred. Any cryptocurrency holdings you have on Robinhood will be liquidated into cash during the transfer process.

$100 Fee

While the transfer process is relatively straightforward, unfortunately, it isn't going to be free.

When you transfer from Robinhood to Fidelity (or any other brokerage), there is a $100 fee collected by Robinhood. This fee is charged for both a full or partial transfer of your account.

When you initiate the transfer, the $100 fee will be debited from your Robinhood account’s available cash balance. With that being said, you will want to ensure that you have $100 or more in cash within your Robinhood account before initiating the transfer.

In addition, be sure to resolve any account restrictions or negative balances in your account prior to requesting a transfer, or your transfer may be delayed.

1. Find Your Robinhood Account Number & Statement

The first step in the transfer process is downloading a copy of your most recent Robinhood statement. This document will contain crucial account information, including your Robinhood account number.

Here's how you can find your Robinhood account statement in the app:

1. Open the Robinhood app on your mobile device
2. Click on the person icon at the bottom right
3. Click on the 3 lines at the top left
4. From the list, select Reports and statements
5. Select Individual under the Monthly statements section
6. Click on the top statement for your most recent one
7. Download this to your device

2. Initiate Transfer Process

Now that you have your Robinhood account number and statement, it's time to begin the transfer process to Fidelity.

Here's how to initiate the account transfer from Fidelity:

1. Open a Fidelity account if you don't have one already (make sure the account type matches the one you are transferring over)
2. Log in to your Fidelity account
3. Navigate to the "Customer Service" section, often located in the account menu
4. Select "Transfers" from the available options
5. Click on "Transfer an Account to Fidelity"

3. Complete Transfer Form

You're now ready to fill out the transfer form.

Here's how to fill that information out:

1. Click "Start a Transfer"
2. Choose "Robinhood Securities LLC" as the firm you're transferring from
3. Enter your Robinhood account number and specify the account type as "Brokerage Individual or IRA"
4. Click "Next" and follow the prompts presented in the automated transfer service

Once you complete these steps, Fidelity will handle everything from here. They will contact Robinhood, and begin the transfer of assets.

Keep in mind, your Robinhood account will be restricted from trading once you initiate the transfer. In most cases, the account transfer takes 3 to 5 business days.

You can track the progress of the account transfer within your Fidelity account.
