Step 1: Pick a new broker

Before you can initiate a transfer, you need to decide where that transfer will go. Otherwise, you’re just cashing out your account, which closes out your position in all of your stocks and, depending on the value of your portfolio, could lead to a hefty bill during tax season.

Step 2: Resolve Negative Balances or Account Restrictions

If you have a margin account with a negative balance or any account with account restrictions, you need to settle up with Robinhood before you can move to a new broker. You can do this by other depositing cash into the account or by selling off some shares to make up the balance owed.

Step 3: Read Up on Fees, Restrictions and Limitations

Robinhood charges a flat $75 fee, regardless of whether you’re doing a full or partial transfer (more on that later). However, some brokers might offer to cover that transfer fee for you, making it effectively free. To find out if a broker is willing to cover the fees, you’ll need to call directly and ask.

Step 4: Open an Account with Your New Broker

Once you’ve done your research and you’re confident in your decision, it’s time to open your new account. Even though you’re planning to transfer accounts, you don’t have to go through any special onboarding process to open an account. You can sign up and open the account as you normally would. The actual transfer will happen later.

Step 5: Request an Account Transfer

The last action required on your part is to make the official account transfer request. You’ll do this at your new broker. In some cases, the broker will ask during the onboarding process if you plan to transfer any accounts over to your new account.

Full Transfer vs. Partial Transfer

When you make the request, you can either request a full transfer or a partial transfer. As the name implies, a full transfer will completely move your entire portfolio over to your new broker and then close out your Robinhood account.

Step 6: Wait 5-10 Business Days

In most cases, especially when you’re transferring from one online broker to another, you can complete the entire transfer process online in a matter of minutes. Of course, if you have any account restrictions or a negative balance, the process might take longer.
