How to Cancel Robinhood Gold
Need to cancel your Robinhood Gold subscription? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed directly through Robinhood's website or through the mobile app, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.
Important: If you have margin positions or are using margin, you may need to close those positions or pay down your margin balance before canceling. Make sure to review your account status before canceling.
Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to Robinhood Gold features until the end of your current billing period. Your account will be downgraded to the free tier after your subscription expires, but your investments and account will remain accessible.
