Your account number appears in three places: your account settings, your statements, and your transfer confirmations

Your Robinhood account number is a unique identifier the platform assigns to your brokerage account. You'll need it when you transfer money to or from your account, when you contact customer support, or when you file taxes. The number is not the same as your username or login email.

Robinhood does not print your account number on a welcome card or send it in a separate email. Instead, you locate it by logging into your account and navigating to specific pages where the platform displays it. The process takes less than a minute once you know where to look.

Key Takeaways

  • Your account number is visible in the Account Settings section under "Account Information" after you log in.
  • Any statement you download from Robinhood will show your account number at the top or in the header section.
  • Transfer confirmations and bank linking pages also display your account number for reference.
  • Your account number is different from your username, email, or Social Security number.
  • If you have multiple account types with Robinhood, each one has its own separate account number.

Finding your account number in Account Settings

Log into your Robinhood account on the web or mobile app. On the web, click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper left corner, then select "Account" from the dropdown. On the mobile app, tap the account icon at the bottom right of the screen.

Once you're in the Account section, look for "Account Information" or "Settings." Your account number will be listed there as a string of numbers, usually between 8 and 12 digits. The page may also show your account type (individual, joint, or IRA) and your account status. Write down the number or take a screenshot if you need it for a transfer or support conversation.

Locating your account number on statements

Open the Statements section of your account. You can reach this from Account Settings or by searching for "Statements" in the app's menu. Download any monthly or annual statement in PDF format.

Open the PDF file. Your account number appears near the top of the document, often labeled "Account Number" or "Acct #." This method works even if you don't remember where the settings page is, because every statement Robinhood generates includes the number. You can download statements going back several years, so you have multiple options to choose from.

Finding your account number during transfers

If you've recently transferred money to or from Robinhood, your confirmation email or in-app confirmation will show your account number. Search your email for "Robinhood transfer" or "ACH confirmation" to find these messages. The confirmation includes the account number for your records.

You can also initiate a new transfer without completing it. Go to the Transfer Money section, select "Transfer to Your Bank," and follow the prompts. Your account number will appear on the review screen before you confirm. Exit without completing the transfer if you only need to see the number. This approach is useful if you don't have a recent transfer confirmation saved.

What to do if you cannot locate your account number

If you've looked in all three places above and still cannot find your account number, contact Robinhood customer support. You can reach them through the Help section in your account menu or through the mobile app's support chat. Have your username and the email address associated with your account ready when you reach out.

Support can confirm your account number over the phone or through chat after they verify your identity. This usually takes a few minutes. They may ask you to confirm your date of birth, the last four digits of your Social Security number, or recent transaction details. Once verified, they will provide your account number immediately.

Why you need your account number and when to use it

Banks and financial institutions require your Robinhood account number when you link your bank account or transfer money. Without it, the transfer may be rejected or delayed. Your brokerage also uses the account number to pull up your records when you contact support about your account or transactions.

If you file taxes and report investment income, you may need your account number to match your 1099 forms to your account. Some employers or financial advisors also ask for it when they need to verify your account details. Keep a copy in a safe place if you transfer money regularly or work with a tax professional.

Protecting your account number

Your account number is not as sensitive as your Social Security number or password, but you should still treat it with care. Do not share it with anyone who contacts you unsolicited, even if they claim to be from Robinhood. Legitimate Robinhood support will never ask you to provide your account number to verify your identity; they will ask for other information instead.

When you provide your account number to a bank or financial institution, make sure you're communicating through an official channel. If you're unsure whether a request is legitimate, log into your Robinhood account directly and contact support through the app or website rather than responding to an email or phone call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my account number the same as my username?

No. Your username is what you use to log in, while your account number is a separate identifier Robinhood assigns to your brokerage account. You'll see both in your account settings, but they serve different purposes.

Can I change my account number?

No. Your account number is permanent and cannot be changed. It's tied to your account and remains the same for as long as you hold the account with Robinhood.

Do I need my account number to log in?

No. You log in with your email address and password. Your account number is only needed for transfers, support inquiries, and tax reporting.

What if I see multiple account numbers in my account?

If you have more than one account type with Robinhood (for example, a regular brokerage account and an IRA), each account has its own number. Check the account type label next to each number to make sure you're using the correct one for your transfer or inquiry.

Will Robinhood email me my account number if I ask?

Robinhood does not typically email your account number for security reasons. Instead, they will confirm it through chat or phone support after verifying your identity. You can also retrieve it yourself from settings or statements at any time.
