You can contact Robinhood through their website, phone line, or email even if you don't have an account

Robinhood's customer support team handles questions from people who haven't opened an account yet, as well as those with existing accounts. The main routes are their website contact form, a phone number for general inquiries, and email. Response times and available options vary depending on what you're asking about — pre-account questions typically route to a general support queue, while account-specific issues go to dedicated teams.

You don't need to log in or provide account credentials to start a support conversation. Robinhood's contact page is accessible to anyone, and you can describe your situation without an account number. That said, some responses may take longer than others, and certain issues (like account verification problems) can only be resolved once you've actually started the account creation process.

Using the Robinhood Help Center contact form

The fastest way to reach Robinhood without an account is through their Help Center at support.robinhood.com. The site has a search bar where you can type your question — many common issues have when ready answers without needing to contact anyone. If you don't find what you need, there's a "Contact Us" button that opens a form.

On the contact form, you'll enter your email address, describe your issue, and select a category that matches your question (such as "Account Opening" or "General Questions"). You don't need to provide a Robinhood username or account number. After you submit, Robinhood sends a confirmation email and assigns your inquiry a ticket number. Response times typically range from a few hours to one business day for general questions, though it can be longer during high-volume periods.

Keep your description clear and specific. Instead of "I have a question about investing," write "I want to know if I can open a Robinhood account if I'm under 18" or "I'm getting an error when I try to read the app." The more detail you provide, the faster the support team can route your question to the right person.

Calling Robinhood's phone line

Robinhood's general customer service number is 1-833-742-6466. This line handles calls from both account holders and people without accounts. When you call, you'll reach an automated system that asks you to select options based on your issue — for example, "Press 1 for account opening questions" or "Press 2 for app or website issues." Follow the prompts to reach the right department.

Phone support is available during business hours, which are typically Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time, though hours may vary by season or during market closures. Wait times can be significant during busy periods, especially around market open or close. If you call outside business hours, you'll hear a message with the support hours and an option to leave a callback request or send an email instead.

Have your question ready before you call. If you're asking about account opening, be prepared to describe your situation — for instance, whether you're a U.S. citizen, your age, or what type of account you're interested in. If you're troubleshooting an app or website issue, have details about what you're seeing, what device or browser you're using, and what you were trying to do when the problem occurred.

Sending an email to Robinhood support

You can also reach Robinhood by email, though this is the slowest contact method. The general support email address is support@robinhood.com. Email works best for detailed questions that don't need an when ready answer, or for issues you want to document in writing.

When you email, include a clear subject line that describes your issue, such as "Question about opening an account" or "App not loading on my phone." In the body, explain your situation in detail and include any relevant information — your location, the device or browser you're using, error messages you've seen, or what you were trying to do. Don't include sensitive information like passwords or Social Security numbers in an email.

Response times for email typically range from one to three business days, depending on how busy the support team is. If your issue is time-sensitive, the phone line or web contact form will get you an answer faster.

What to have ready before you contact them

Before reaching out, gather information that will help the support team understand your question. If you're asking about opening an account, know your age, citizenship status, and whether you're a U.S. resident. If you're having trouble with the app or website, note which device you're using (iPhone, Android, computer), which browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.), and what exactly happens when you try to do something — does the app crash, does it freeze, do you see an error message?

Write down any error messages you see word-for-word, or take a screenshot if you can. Error codes and exact wording help support staff identify the problem much faster than a description like "it's not working." If you've already tried troubleshooting steps (like restarting the app, clearing your browser cache, or checking your internet connection), mention that too — it saves the support team time and shows you've already ruled out common fixes.

If your question is about Robinhood's features, policies, or how something works, you may find the answer in their Help Center before contacting support. The Help Center has articles about account types, fees, supported states, and common features. Searching there first can save you time if your question is straightforward.

When you'll need to start an account to get full support

Some issues can only be resolved once you've begun the account creation process. For example, if you're stuck on a verification step or getting an error during signup, Robinhood's support team may need you to complete part of the account opening to diagnose the problem. In those cases, they'll guide you through what to do next, but you may need to have an account in progress to receive full help.

Similarly, if you're asking about account-specific features — like why a particular stock isn't available to trade, or how to set up a specific order type — support may need to see your account to give you a complete answer. In those situations, you can start the account creation process without funding it, and support can help you from there.
