Your Robinhood account number appears in your account settings, not on your home screen

Your Robinhood account number is a unique identifier the platform assigns to your brokerage account. It's different from your username or email. You'll need it when you contact Robinhood support, transfer money between accounts, or set up external bank connections. The number is not displayed prominently on your dashboard — you have to go into your settings to find it.

The fastest way to locate it is through the Account menu on the Robinhood app or website. The steps are the same whether you use mobile or desktop, though the button locations differ slightly.

Key Takeaways

  • Your account number is found in Account Settings under the Account Information section, not on your main dashboard.
  • On the mobile app, tap the Account icon at the bottom right, then scroll to find Account Number listed under your name.
  • On the website, click the Account menu in the top right corner and select Account Information to see your number.
  • You will need your account number when contacting Robinhood support or linking external bank accounts for transfers.
  • Your account number is different from your username, email, or Social Security number.

Finding your account number on the Robinhood mobile app

Open the Robinhood app and tap the Account icon — it looks like a person's silhouette and sits at the bottom right of your screen. This takes you to your account profile page.

Scroll to the top of the page where you see your name and profile picture. Just below your name, you will see a line that says "Account Number" followed by a series of numbers and letters. This is your account identifier. You can tap it to copy the number to your clipboard, which makes it straightforward to paste into support forms or messages.

Finding your account number on the Robinhood website

Log into your Robinhood account on a web browser. In the top right corner of the page, click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or look for your username. A dropdown menu will appear.

Select "Account Information" from the menu. Your account number will be displayed on this page near the top, usually next to a label that says "Account Number." The format is the same as on the mobile app — a combination of numbers and letters unique to your account.

What to do if you cannot find your account number

If you've looked in Account Information and don't see the number, make sure you're logged into the correct account. Some users have multiple Robinhood accounts (for example, a personal account and a joint account), and each has its own separate account number.

If you're still unable to locate it, you can contact Robinhood support directly through the app or website. Go to Account Settings, scroll down to "Help," and select "Contact Us." You can describe your issue and a support representative can provide your account number. Response times vary, but Robinhood typically replies within one to two business days.

When you will need your account number

Robinhood asks for your account number in specific situations. If you're linking an external bank account to transfer money in or out, you may need to provide it. When you contact Robinhood support about an issue with your account, having your account number ready speeds up the process because the representative can pull up your information when ready.

You'll also need it if you're setting up a transfer to another brokerage. Some financial institutions request the account number as part of their verification process. Keep it handy but don't share it with anyone you don't trust — treat it similarly to how you'd handle other account identifiers.

Account number versus other Robinhood identifiers

Your account number is not the same as your username, email address, or Social Security number. Your username is what you use to log in. Your email is your contact address. Your Social Security number is used for tax reporting and identity verification. The account number is purely an internal identifier that Robinhood uses to organize your specific brokerage account.

If you have a joint account with another person, that account has its own separate account number. If you have both a regular brokerage account and a retirement account (like an IRA) with Robinhood, each one has a different account number. This matters because when you contact support or transfer funds, you need to specify which account you're referring to.

Keeping your account number find

Your account number is not as sensitive as your password or Social Security number, but it's still part of your account information. Don't post it on social media or share it in public forums. If you're emailing it to Robinhood support, use the official contact channels within the app or website rather than replying to unsolicited emails claiming to be from Robinhood.

Robinhood will never ask you for your password via email or support chat. If someone contacts you claiming to be from Robinhood and asks for your password, account number, or Social Security number, do not provide it — that's a sign of a scam.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Robinhood account number?

No, your account number is permanent and assigned by Robinhood when you open the account. You cannot change it or request a new one. If you need a fresh start, you would have to close the account and open a new one, which would result in a different account number.

Is my account number the same as my routing number?

No. Your account number identifies your specific Robinhood brokerage account. A routing number is used for bank transfers and belongs to the financial institution processing the transfer, not to Robinhood. When you link an external bank account, you'll provide both your bank's routing number and your bank account number — not your Robinhood account number.

What if I forgot my password but need my account number?

You can still view your account number without logging in by using Robinhood's password reset process. Go to the login page, click "Forgot password," and follow the steps to reset it. Once you've regained access to your account, you can find your account number in Account Settings as described above.

Do I need my account number to log in?

No. You log in using your email address and password, not your account number. Your account number is only needed for specific tasks like contacting support or linking external accounts.
