Internal assets transfer
You can transfer assets among Robinhood accounts that you own, including your individual investing account, joint investing account, managed accounts, and spending account.
Some limitations apply, including that you can’t transfer non-cash assets from IRAs to taxable accounts and vice versa.
Robinhood Strategies managed accounts can’t receive or hold unsupported assets (like OTC equities). Unsupported assets will be rejected if included in a transfer request or will be moved to your self-directed account if received.
You can initiate the following types of internal asset transfers between your individual and joint investing accounts:
*The account receiving the margin debt must first have margin enabled. And if an account has a pattern day trading (PDT) flag, it must maintain a $25,000 account value to continue day trading. Managed accounts cannot accept margin debt.
To initiate an internal assets transfer between eligible accounts:
After you submit a transfer, you can view the status in Account → History. Keep in mind, any stocks or ETFs included in a pending transfer cannot be traded until the transfer is complete. Most transfers complete within minutes. However, any transfers initiated after 8 PM ET are processed the next business day.
To transfer settled cash between eligible accounts:
Managed taxable accounts can accept in-kind, internal assets transfers or settled cash (like cash earning sweep interest) from your individual or joint investing account in the app.
Managed retirement accounts can accept in-kind, internal assets transfers or settled cash from your self-directed retirement accounts of the same type (like Roth to Roth).
For internal asset transfers out of a managed taxable account, you’ll need to contact us for assistance.
For internal asset transfers between individual, managed, and joint accounts, the limits are 10 transfers per day and a $500,000 maximum total per day. The limits update daily at 12 AM ET.
Additionally, you currently can't complete an internal asset transfer with the following:
For unmarried co-owners, transferring assets to your joint account may result in a change in ownership. A change in ownership of the shared assets may affect the cost basis used to determine taxable gains or losses.
To ask for a necessary adjustment to your cost basis, contact us. For more details, check out How do taxes work?
Robinhood doesn’t provide tax advice. For questions about your specific tax situation, consult a tax professional.
If you recently got a boost, bonus, or cash reward for an ACATS transfer into your investing account from an outside brokerage, then you’ll need to keep the eligible account balance to keep the bonus. If an internal asset transfer reduces your account balance, it may affect your bonus eligibility and may cause a bonus removal charge.
For more details, refer to the terms and conditions for the specific bonus or reward program you participated in.
You can transfer stocks that are on loan. The interest for the days a stock was on loan will be paid to the originating account at the end of the 30-day period. If Stock Lending is enabled in the receiving account, stocks will be eligible for lending the following day.
You can transfer cash that’s earning interest with the brokerage cash sweep program. After the cash is transferred, the originating account will stop earning sweep interest, and the receiving account will start earning it, provided that account has enabled cash sweep.
