The fastest way to contact Robinhood depends on your issue
Robinhood offers multiple contact channels, but response time and availability vary by method. Phone support is available during market hours for account and trading issues. Email and in-app messaging work for non-urgent matters but typically take longer. The in-app help center has answers to common questions without waiting for a response.
Before contacting support, have your account email, phone number, and a description of your issue ready. If your problem involves a specific trade or deposit, have the transaction details or confirmation number available. This speeds up the process and helps the support agent locate your account quickly.
Key Takeaways
- Phone support is available Monday through Friday during market hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET) for account and trading questions.
- In-app messaging and email support work for non-urgent issues but may take 24 to 48 hours for a response.
- The in-app Help section contains answers to frequently asked questions about deposits, transfers, and account settings without requiring you to wait.
- Robinhood does not offer live chat support, so phone, email, and in-app messaging are your only direct contact options.
Phone support hours and what to expect
Robinhood's phone line is staffed Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time. The number to call is 1-650-681-0600. Wait times vary depending on how busy the line is; during market open (9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET) wait times are typically longer than before or after market hours.
When you call, have your account email and the last four digits of your Social Security number ready for verification. The support agent will ask what you need help with and may transfer you to a specialist if your issue involves account security, tax documents, or trading restrictions. Phone support cannot resolve issues that require legal review or regulatory approval, which are handled through email.
Email support for account and security issues
Email support is the correct channel for sensitive account matters, including account closure requests, tax document issues, and disputes over transactions. Send your message to support@robinhood.com with a clear subject line describing your issue. Include your account email address and a detailed explanation of what happened and when.
Email responses typically arrive within 24 to 48 hours on business days. Robinhood does not respond to emails sent on weekends or holidays until the next business day. If your issue is urgent and involves a potential security breach or unauthorized access, call the phone line during business hours instead, as email may be too slow.
In-app messaging and the Help center
Open the Robinhood app and tap the Account tab, then select Help. From there, you can search for answers to common questions about deposits, transfers, buying and selling stocks, and account settings. Many issues are resolved by reading the Help articles without needing to contact support.
If you do not find an answer in the Help section, you can send a message directly through the app. Tap the message icon or select "Contact Us" at the bottom of the Help page. In-app messages are reviewed during business hours and typically receive a response within 24 hours on weekdays. This channel works well for questions about features, account settings, or general account inquiries that are not urgent.
What to do if you cannot reach support
If you have been waiting more than 48 hours for an email response or cannot reach the phone line, try submitting your issue again through the in-app messaging system. Include a note that this is a follow-up to your previous request and mention the date you first contacted support.
For issues related to deposits or transfers that are stuck or delayed, check your bank's website first to confirm the transfer was sent from your bank's end. Many deposit delays are caused by your bank, not Robinhood. If your bank confirms the transfer was sent, provide that confirmation to Robinhood support along with the transfer reference number from your bank.
Account security and unauthorized access
If you believe your account has been compromised or accessed without permission, call 1-650-681-0600 immediately during business hours. Do not wait for an email response. When you call, explain that this is a security issue and ask to speak with the account security team.
If the breach occurs outside business hours, change your password immediately from a secure device and enable two-factor authentication if it is not already on. Then send an email to support@robinhood.com with the subject line "Account Security Breach" and describe what happened. Call during the next business day to follow up on your email.
