Introduction
Welcome to this guide on how to turn off stock lending on Webull. Stock lending is a program offered by Webull where they allow you to lend out your stocks to other traders in exchange for a fee. While the program can generate additional income for investors, some may prefer to opt out of it for various reasons. Turning off stock lending ensures that your stocks are not being borrowed by other traders.
In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of disabling stock lending on Webull. Whether you want to turn off stock lending for specific positions or disable it for all your positions, we have got you covered.
Before diving into the steps, it’s important to note that turning off stock lending means you will not be able to benefit from the income generated through the program. If you have been earning passive income through stock lending, you might want to carefully consider your decision. However, if you have made up your mind and prefer to keep your stocks exclusively for your own trading activities, let’s proceed with the process of turning off stock lending on Webull.
Step 1: Log into your Webull account
The first step to turning off stock lending on Webull is to log into your Webull account. Open the Webull app or visit the Webull website and enter your login credentials to access your account.

Now that you’re logged in, let’s move on to the next step and find out how to navigate to the “Stock Lending Income Program” page on Webull.
Step 2: Navigate to the “Stock Lending Income Program” page
Once you are logged into your Webull account, the next step is to navigate to the “Stock Lending Income Program” page.
In the Webull app, you can do this by tapping on the menu button, usually represented by three horizontal lines, located in the top left corner of the screen. From the menu, select the “More” option. This will open a new page with various settings and options.
On the “More” page, scroll down until you find the “Services” section. Here, you will see a list of different services offered by Webull. Look for the option labeled “Stock Lending Income Program” and tap on it.
If you are using the Webull website, you can navigate to the “Stock Lending Income Program” page by clicking on your profile picture icon, usually located in the top right corner of the screen. From the dropdown menu, select “Settings.” This will take you to the settings page.
On the settings page, find the “Services” tab or section. Within this section, locate and click on the “Stock Lending Income Program” option.
By following these steps, you will be directed to the “Stock Lending Income Program” page on Webull, where you can modify your stock lending preferences. Now, let’s move on to the next step to learn how to turn off stock lending for specific positions.
Step 3: Turn off stock lending for specific positions
If you want to disable stock lending for specific positions on Webull, follow the steps below:
- On the “Stock Lending Income Program” page, you will see a list of positions that are eligible for stock lending. This list contains the stocks you currently hold in your Webull account.
- Scroll through the list and locate the position for which you want to turn off stock lending.
- Next to the position, you will find a toggle switch or checkbox that allows you to enable or disable stock lending for that particular position.
- Move the toggle switch to the off position or uncheck the checkbox to disable stock lending for that position.
- Repeat the steps above for any additional positions you want to turn off stock lending for.
Once you have made the necessary changes, the selected positions will no longer be available for lending through the stock lending program.
It’s important to note that disabling stock lending for specific positions means that only those particular positions will be exempted from the program. The rest of your positions will continue to be eligible for stock lending unless you disable stock lending for all positions, which is covered in the next step.
Now that you know how to turn off stock lending for specific positions, let’s move on to the next step to learn how to disable stock lending for all positions on Webull.
Step 4: Disable stock lending for all positions
If you prefer to disable stock lending for all positions on Webull, follow the steps below:
- On the “Stock Lending Income Program” page, you will see a toggle switch or checkbox that allows you to enable or disable stock lending for all positions.
- Locate the toggle switch or checkbox and move it to the off position or uncheck it to disable stock lending for all positions.
By disabling stock lending for all positions, none of your stocks will be available for lending through the stock lending program on Webull.
It’s important to consider the potential impact of disabling stock lending for all your positions. If you have been earning passive income through the program, disabling it entirely means you will forego that additional source of revenue.
Once you have made the decision to disable stock lending for all positions, the changes will take effect immediately. However, if you change your mind in the future and wish to enable stock lending again, you can easily do so by following the same steps and re-enabling the toggle switch or checkbox on the “Stock Lending Income Program” page.
Now that you know how to disable stock lending for all positions, let’s move on to the final step to review your preferences and confirm the changes you made.
Step 5: Confirm the changes and review your preferences
After making any changes to your stock lending preferences on Webull, it’s important to review and confirm the changes you have made. By doing so, you can ensure that your preferences have been updated correctly. Follow the steps below to confirm the changes:
- On the “Stock Lending Income Program” page, take a moment to review the positions for which you have disabled stock lending. Make sure that the positions you intended to turn off stock lending for are indeed disabled.
- If you disabled stock lending for specific positions, double-check that the other positions are still eligible for the program, if desired.
- If you disabled stock lending for all positions, confirm that none of your stocks are available for lending through the stock lending program.
By thoroughly reviewing your preferences, you can have peace of mind in knowing that your stocks are being utilized according to your wishes.
In addition to reviewing your preferences, you might also want to explore other options and features offered by Webull. Familiarize yourself with the various tools and resources available to enhance your trading experience.
