How to Cash Out on Robinhood requires initiating a bank transfer or instant debit card payout through the app’s transfer menu after ensuring your funds have fully settled. Withdrawing settled cash to a linked bank account takes one to three business days via standard ACH, while Instant Transfers finalize within minutes for a small fee.

Robinhood Cash Out Delays, Unsettled Cash, and Hold Rules
Trade Settlement Periods (T+1 Rule)
When you sell stocks, ETFs, options, or crypto on Robinhood, the proceeds do not become immediately available for withdrawal. Standard stock and options trades follow a T+1 settlement rule (Trade Date plus one business day). Crypto sales generally settle faster, but cash must clear all fraud checks before leaving the platform.
Deposit Hold Periods
Cash deposited into Robinhood via standard ACH must remain in the account for up to 5 business days before it can be withdrawn, even if you did not invest it. This anti-money-laundering (AML) control prevents illegal funds movement.
Bank Account Locks
If you attempt to cash out to a bank account different from the one used to deposit the funds, Robinhood may apply a 30-day security hold or request account ownership documentation (bank statements or government ID verification).
