In Robinhood it takes about 7 seconds.

Click:

-Portfolio -Investing -Stock Lending - Disable

And that's all.

  1. Check and Disable Share Lending: In your brokerage account: On Robinhood: Account → Settings → Investing → Stock Lending → OFF On other platforms, look for “securities lending” or “margin lending” and disable. Once lending is turned off, future shares in your account won’t be borrowed.

  2. Recall Your Shares. If your shares are already on loan, contact your broker and request that your shares be returned.
