Acorns Reviews

Investing & banking made super easy in one app. Better interest rate on savings than my brick & mortar bank. And the app is way easier to navigate & more thorough than my old bank. Money moves from checking to savings instantly with no penalties. It makes putting money up 2nd nature & you see it grow in real time.

If you are consistent and so not touch what you put in it is definitely worth the investment. In addition there are ways to shop and your money will be matched. Acorns is a great app, that keeps growing. I find it gives great results if you are not a seasoned investor. Thank you.

Please take a chance on Acorns. You'll earn money without knowing. The system works in the background with every purchase and makes you some extra cash. This is only from roundups. They have a large interface, friendly, easy to use. Would recommend!

I’ve been with Acorns for many years now and I’ve never been unsatisfied. The few times I’ve needed to contact Customer Service have been an easy journey, with an excellent outcome. My account has grown steadily, and with the addition of the subscription model, and allowing me to pick my own stocks, etc., it’s only grown more. Everything about the app and site is easy and easily navigable. I’m glad I discovered them and I feel safe with my money in their hands.

I don't even know how many years I've been using Acorns - at least 6-7. I recommend them to everyone who wants to try and save a little extra money here and there but struggles, because it just happens in the background.

This is a great opportunity for people to invest and no dollar is small for investing. Also so good for people even without stock experience.

Don’t Think you will get any good customer service when everything is scripted and AI. Zero help. They will take your money no problem but when you need it back get ready to be highly disappointed and a long wait. Sure they will take your money no problems but when you absolutely need it back get ******. Every time you talk to someone it’s 1 to 3 days…. Lies. No matter how long you wait the same bs. Don’t waste your time. Find a better business.

Acorns is easy and effective. It's very customizable and pretty easy to navigate. I've saved and earned a lot using this program. With a wee bit more effort on my part, I could earn even more! It's well worth a try.

I trust my money here. Wish I could invest more, but this is a great app and banking environment.

I really have enjoyed this app! They make it so easy to invest! I just set it and forget it. If I have needed to withdraw money, it comes very quickly after they sell my shares! Very easy to work with.

Please don't download this app. My kids had over $600 saved in their account and now they are older teens and we decided to get them a regular debit card. I closed the account and was told our money would be refunded in 3-5 business days. I called in a week later, (Still no money). They said to wait longer. Then I get an email saying they need my banking information. I reluctantly gave them this, and they said it would be another 3-5 business days. I have called 6 more times asking for a supervisor or any additional help and every person tells me the same thing. They will escalate my case to a supervisor and have them call me. No one ever does. Do not waste your time or money with this app. You will not get any money refunded to you. My next step is to see an attorney to help with this, which is extremely frustrating!

Best decision I ever made was putting my money in Acorn. It's easy to use especially if you know nothing about the stock market. Plus you can invest in Bitcoin with Acorn as well.

I am very pleased with the performance of my account.

Acorns has helped me save for retirement and also taught me how to invest. The platform is easy to use and has options which provide value.

Very user-friendly, and this account has not only helped me save more easily by using another path of retirement, but it has also bailed me out of a few jams over the years.

By far the worst bank/investment platform ever. They hold your money as long as they can. Their transfer times take the longest compared to any other platform. Their fees are the highest. Their direct deposits aren’t early. Biggest joke of a institution ever.

Acorns is so ** backwards. It is a completely online service, so one would expect expedited services. I attempted to deposit a check through the app. I accidently wrote "Only for mobile deposit at Acorns," instead of "For mobile deposit only at Acorns." I waited the 1-3 business days for this to process, only to discover that the check was rejected. I called and the customer service representative said that they would need to escalate this to the "team" that processes the checks and have them reach back out to me with the reason for the rejection ... in 1-3 business days. This call occurred on a Thursday or Friday ...

I would not recommend this company to anyone. I have a substantial Roth IRA with them and decided to transfer my account to another brokerage that offers better investment options and a stronger long-term track record. Instead of helping facilitate the transfer, they have made the process extremely difficult and frustrating.

The app, and website will not allow you to report fraud. The links don’t work and you have to call. Calling is a waste of 20+ minutes for them to send you a form to fill out. The form doesn’t have fraud listed as a reason for the dispute. At all. Someone stole $38.50 from my account. The amount of time I have had to put into this IS NOT WORTH $38.50. I will be canceling the account and I would HIGHLY recommend ANY other financial institution. They also would not give any reason as to why the amount of interest they deposited into the account was inaccurate. At my APR, I have received more money deposited into my account than they gave. Fighting that with them went nowhere as well. So the fraud is the last straw. DO NOT USE ACORNS unless you have time to deal with their garbage.

Their platform is flawed, transactions are painfully slow if they go through at all. Their customer service is trained to sincerely apologize yet they do nothing to help. Their rewards for signing up and new referrals is a scam that they never pay and unless you specify that you want to cancel your account and cancel monthly subscription as well you will continue being billed. How Acorns can be allowed to take money out of your bank after you close your account is the shadiest business practice and still going on.

After more than 5 years of roundups and monthly contributions, I had $1288 in my Acorns account and ~$450 in my later account. I was unhappy with the performance and decided I wanted to link another IRA and that was performing much better, and to transfer the funds from Acorns to the better performing IRA. In the process, Acorns gave me an error message that you can only link accounts that can fund your Acorns account. I planned on contacting Acorns about this on another day, but went ahead and paused the automatic contributions from my personal checking account. Today, there is an unauthorized fund transfer pending from my Acorns account to my personal checking account.

I’m very disappointed with Acorn Investment. They promised a referral incentive program, but after I met every requirement and provided proof by the deadline, they failed to uphold their end of the bargain. I brought in four new referrals—people they are now profiting from—yet I never received the promised reward. It feels like being scammed. Communication has been poor, and it’s frustrating to see a company not stand by their own promotional commitments. I will not be referring anyone else and hope they take responsibility for honoring their word.

Acorns is my safety net. I save a very small amount of money. Having unseen events happen, I'm able to take my money out thus they are there for me. Not being financial savvy, I trust acorns to invest my money knowing their employees are educated in the financial areas.

I love Acorns and the simplicity of investing, diversifying... Since I started it, the recurring investment makes it easy to not think about money you're using to gain, and the increase option and what you invest in, is easy to change, figure out, etc.

Very effective application. Just wish the transfer wouldn't take so long. Very workable application when you need some of your money to come out of your Roth IRA. It very good to use as a saving complimentary tool.

This is a simple way to save by investing minimum amounts that can add up to make a big difference. I love how easy it is to navigate the app and website. There are also ways to get small percentages invested on their behalf by making purchases through certain brands. This was a game changer for me on learning the importance of putting small amounts away to Invest or save for future emergencies.

I have been very happy with Acorns. Easy, automatic savings, and easy to withdraw when needed. I have been very happy with Acorns. Easy, automatic savings, and easy to withdraw when needed. I have been very happy with Acorns. Easy, automatic savings, and easy to withdraw when needed.

I have had Acorns for about 10 years now. It is so simple to set up and easy to use. The money quickly adds up and once in a while, I will check in and see that I have an extra $800 or so, which is great for an emergency fund. I have also set up the high-yield savings account and checking, just to stash more money away for the future.

I was amazed at how much money I could save by allowing Acorns to round up my purchase prices to the next dollar. Acorns was recommended to me by a friend who used his Acorns account money to do repairs and maintenance on a high-end automobile. I've used mine for the same. It's like found money. The thorniest part for me was giving Acorns limited access to my regular checking account. However, I've been an Acorns member for almost two years and there has never been a single incident of suspicious activity.

VERY EASY TO USE, even for beginners. Amazing platform. Easy to understand, navigate, and make transactions without the hassles of traditional trade/investment/banking platforms. I decided to transfer all of my Fidelity/CS portfolios to Acorns after my 5-year Fidelity portfolio only had 5% gains and realized my Acorns portfolio increased 39% in under 2-years. Thumbs up to Acorns' team!

I love to see the money grow in my accounts and I appreciate the tools available on the site to increase my knowledge and money. My husband also has an Acorns account and he fussed at me for not telling him about it sooner. Creating an Acorns account was definitely a decision I do not regret.

Acorns helps me put a little bit of money back each week. It helps me have a "cushion" to fall on when I need it. It's easy to follow and save. Acorns also has great communication with its customers and makes it easy to understand each step.

I have actually been able to save money for the first time in a very long time. Built up over $20,000 and it seemed impossible until I got here. I use all the accounts and have been successful at “watering my garden” with the round ups and monthly recurring deposits.

Since opening my Acorns account I have been able to have money invested in my account. During the pandemic we ordered pet food and supplies through Chewy. We love using Chewy. They have a great selection of food and supplies. They even fill prescriptions for pets. A couple years ago we lost one of our dogs. They sent a sympathy card, something we didn't expect! I check Acorns to see who else I can order from. I get money invested in my account whenever I do, and you can also get money invested in your account.

Great service. A real save some money. app with many options to choose from. Thanks to all involved. I am very happy I found out about Acorns. It has helped me to save money for my future and for my grandkids.

Acorn has been the greatest thing for me. This is the first time I've been able to save money. It allowed me to set up an IRA which will be a great help to me when I retire. I have my checking and saving with Acorn as well.

Great app. At time a bit complicated. I believe in the app and the future growth for my family and I. I hope for a continuous success and transparency. App great for beginners. Whoever wants a chance to invest this is the app.

I really enjoy being able to set it and forget it. I do make adjustments occasionally, but seeing my money grow in the market has been rewarding and makes me have hope about my financial future. There is potential for me to actually get ahead with Acorns.

I absolutely love Acorns because of all they offer. Savings and investments all in one with the options to control your portfolio with their help. You can also invest into Roth IRAN'S with information.

Acorn has made it easy for me to save money. It is very convenient plus has great articles to help you grow and understand the best ways to make money work for you. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an easy way to save money.
