How Do I Transfer Cash From My Retirement Portfolio?

Before you can transfer from your Retirement Portfolio, make sure you’ve done the following.

  1. Link your bank to Stash so we can transfer your cash to you (Learn how →).
  2. Sell all of the investments in your Retirement Portfolio and wait up to 3 business days for the sale to settle (Learn how →).

If you’re withdrawing all your funds, turn off Set Schedule for your Retirement Portfolio (Learn how →).

After the sale has settled, wait up to 6 business days for your cash to be available to transfer. 

You cannot initiate a transfer from your Retirement Portfolio until any recent sales have settled (up to 3 business days) and any pending contributions have settled (up to 6 business days). 

Once you’ve completed the above, please follow these steps.

  1. Login to Stash on a web browser.
  2. Follow this link to start a transfer (https://app.stash.com/withdrawals/new).
  3. Fill out the form (follow the on-screen instructions).
  4. Wait 2-4 business days for your cash to be transferred to your external linked bank.
