Important Tips

1. Charles Schwab does not impose fees on account transfers.

3. Crypto cannot be transferred.
4. Robinhood charges a $75 fee for transferring your assets.
5. To prevent potential issues during the transfer, ensure that your Robinhood account does not have fractional shares, options contracts, or unsettled transactions. These factors can complicate the transfer process.
