Acorns Reviews

Good option for saving and investing. It is recommended to use it. It also offers good options for various ways to use your money. A good choice. It would only be good if it had the option for other languages ​​and thus expand the market.

Acorns lets you set up specific amounts on a recurring basis, and also allows you to make one-time deposits. All of your progress is charted, along with your future trajectory of savings. I don't have much time, so managing my contributions, and paying me 3% to save my own money, gives me a peace of mind.

I used to keep a big jar where my husband and I would toss all our loose change. Once a year, I’d cash it in and we’d usually have around $500 — such a nice little surprise! A few years ago, I read in AARP Magazine about an app called Acorns that invests your spare change automatically. I decided to give it a try back in 2018, and I’ve been using it ever since. I also add $25 a week, and over the years, I’ve really watched my “oak” grow! It’s funny — it feels just like that old change jar, only now the money actually grows on its own. Such an easy way to save without even thinking about it. 🌳💰

Very easy and straightforward to use, they basically tell you exactly what to do and how to do. They make saving money and building your retirement super easy and their round up system where they take spare change and add it to your savings is very straightforward and super useful

I find it beneficial because it runs in the background, no effort on your part other than setting it up. Then you sit back and watch your investments grow. It is like a hidden savings account for rainy days. The card is easy to use anywhere and you control how much and when the money is invested.

Acorns has been an incredible tool for growing my savings and investments at my own pace. I love how it automatically invests my spare change and helps me build wealth without even thinking about it! The platform is easy to use, educational, and makes investing simple for anyone. Whether you are just starting out or looking to expand your portfolio. Watching my money grow over time with reoccurring deposits has been motivating and rewarding. Acorns truly makes investing approachable and helps you take control of your financial future. Highly recommend this for anyone serious about saving smart!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I truly love the Acorns app! It makes saving and investing so simple and accessible. I love that it gives us the opportunity to build a better future for ourselves and for our children. Every small contribution adds up, and Acorns makes it easy to stay consistent. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start investing with confidence!

Acorns is easy to use and nice to have the extra money around when needed. I've been using it for years and plan on continuing for years to come. I wish they didn't have to add a fee to use but understand why they did.

I've suggested to my 2 girl and wife. I'm not a millionaire but it's a way to save without seeing. I round up and put in 5$ and it's there for Christmas or unexpected bill like car fix or small trip out.

I’m very happy with the easiest way to save. Automatic withdrawals from checking for rounding up of everyday purchases. Growing Oaks is easy. I have been with Acorns for quite awhile now and my money seems to keep growing.

I was disappointed with the service at first from not having the literacy on how it works. I came to realize that I was wrong from being disappointed all along from not doing my research. After a year later my money increased and it was up from there. I’m not doing well with money yet but as my acorn grew I was able to withdraw 1k for an emergency fund. It was deposited maybe two-three days later. At that time I couldn’t go to work for a month and it helped me on bills. Fingers crossed that I run the account up high as ever. I hope more of my friends and family use the link I have sent them and get with the program.

I have been investing with Acorns for some time now and I love the fact that, money that would probably be spent somewhere else is been invested for a future cause. I do weekly deductions in addition to 3x change round up. This forces me to save. I love it!!!

Acorns has been an excellent experience. I wasn’t in the habit of saving, but Acorns has made it incredibly easy to build money on the side. It’s user-friendly for beginners and as I have grown I am able to make contributions on where I want my money to go. educational resources are top-notch. I really appreciate the team for helping me actually start saving and investing.

I've been using the Acorns investment app for a while now, and I can confidently say it's absolutely worth it. The platform is incredibly easy to navigate, even if you're new to investing. I love how simple it is to track my investments and watch my money grow over time—without needing to be a financial expert. One of the things I appreciate most is how seamless it makes saving for long-term goals. Whether you're planning for retirement or starting a college fund for your children, Acorns provides the tools and automation to help you stay on track with minimal effort. I highly recommend Acorns to anyone looking to take control of their financial future. It's a smart, stress-free way to invest and build wealth over time.

Nice platform for systematic and disciplined investing. It allows you to set aside small amounts of extra money every day and gradually build wealth. Over time, you can watch your savings grow steadily and effortlessly.

Very straightforward investing and savings for the novice with very competitive rates. It makes sense to sign up even if you’re transferring a modest sum as the interest will outweigh the fees quickly. After having both my kids do high school checking with a top5 bank. I was able to get them both to open accounts here in college and now they’re both using round ups x10 for more aggressive savings. If you’re in GenZ and are wanting to start off in great financial shape, this app will start you off right. Even the Later function can be great if you qualify for IRA savings. The only downside is I can’t hide the functions I don’t use. Otherwise it’s a wonderful tool to “grow your oak!!!”

I've been using Acorns for a while now, and it truly makes investing a breeze. I love how it eliminates the guesswork from choosing companies and diversifying investments, which helps in avoiding losses from poor choices. You can simply select your risk level, and Acorns intelligently allocates your money across various categories of stocks, bonds, and even a Bitcoin ETF, depending on the level you choose. This is ironically the lowest tier which is only $1 a month. (I believe you have to sign up with the $5 tier and downgrade later.)

I’ve been very happy with the overall performance of my portfolio and the rates for the banking section. I don’t like the lack of transparency when you place a sell request. I cannot chose the exact assets I want to sell to take advantage of the short term loss or long term win. I’ve asked this question and gotten no response with the excuse that you can’t provide tax advise. Not the same thing. I also don’t like that you can’t set push notifications for charges to your checking account.

I do very much enjoy investing with Acorns. It’s dirty simple to use, you can set up accounts for your children (or future children 😂) and it has a good amount of compound interest to it. My dad started using it when I was around 9 and now I have started so I can do the same for my future children.

Excellent way to save and make money! Round ups just become a normal! I've used the app for several years and love its impact on my financial abilities. I have recommended this app and way of saving and investing to many people and family members.

I absolutely love Acorns. The fact that I can invest with pennies is truly so wonderful. I love that the money is liquid (I know we don't want to touch it or use it, but emergencies happen). I love ACORNS!

I never was able to start and keep a savings, but once I started my Acorns account, the round ups feature and automatic deposit has given me a great savings and it's growing through the investments! The best part? It does most of the hard work for you.

Acorns is an amazing app for anyone who wants to start investing without the stress of managing complicated portfolios. It makes saving effortless by rounding up spare change from everyday purchases and automatically investing it. The interface is clean, easy to use, and the educational resources help you understand where your money’s going. It’s perfect for beginners or anyone looking to build better financial habits. Watching your small change grow into real savings over time feels incredibly rewarding. Highly recommend!

It has been very easy to start saving! I can already see the potential! I like the different ways to contribute to my account. I use the roundups, a weekly deposit and the occasional one time deposit!

Acorns is a good idea with a poor execution. It's a good way to casually save money through their "round-up" program and allows you to be passively involved in the movements of the market. That being said, their returns are very poor, especially compared to other investment options and despite the stock market continuously reaching new historic highs. Also, their referral program is not transparent. They seem to intentionally hide (or at least greatly delay) information on the status of your referrals so when the payout deadline is reached they can conveniently deny your bonus while not sharing specifics. Do not get your hopes up with acorns. If you are looking to save and invest your money seek out better options.

I like seeing my $$$ grow… you provide me the tools for me to make that happen in this fast changing world. Tools are there to explain and the new jargon words used out there for which l don’t have time to research. Thanks…

Love Acorns. I use it as my primary account and it has so many features that are unlike anything I have seen before. The options are perfect for myself and my family. I like that there is options that can be tailored to anyone.

I am so glad I opened up an Acorns account and am putting money away for my future. Acorns makes it so easy and their app is very easy to navigate. I 100% recommend Acorns to anyone who is looking to invest in their future.

I really enjoy this app, it’s helped me so much so far and only been using it for a little over two years and already have a few thousand saved. I honestly forget it’s there. A great way to save money!

It is great for someone looking for the "set it and forget" kind of investments. Especially if you have no knowledge or experience with stocks. I have found it to be very easy to use and the website user friendly. Would highly recommend Acorns to anyone.

Customers should not have to pay extra to select their own stocks. I would like to buy some individual stocks of my choosing without having to upgrade my monthly fee. $3 is already kind of ridiculous for such a small account size.

I requested a transfer of assets from my Acorns account to another brokerage after investing with Acorns for 5 years. I had a little over $9,000 in the account. Acorns charged $210 ($35 per ETF or mutual fund) to transfer the whole shares I held from Acorns to the other brokerage. $1,950 was listed as an "investment loss" with no corresponding market activity to explain this. There is no cost basis information nor itemization of losses on the monthly statement, only a $28 gain. This money is missing without explanation. I requested asset transfers from other brokerages without any missing money nor other problems. Since mid August, my calls to Acorns customer service result in me being told “I will escalate this” with no response and no resolution.

I've contacted them and the excuses persist. I've given them opportunity to remedy the situation, but to no avail. So I will tell my referrals to go elsewhere. I hope it was worth it for Acorns!!!

I had to prove my identity with Acorns. It took 4 months to FINALLY get my account unlocked. I had to provide a selfie holding my ID and a copy of my ID. Then I had to provide a bank statement showing the funds withdrawal. That was not enough. Then they had to have a copy of the bank signature card, a copy of my social security card and a utility bill. Then after all that, I had to wait. During that time, I would receive random emails from customer service asking for the document again. I do not know how many times I had to upload the same documents.

Well 1st time I said I wanted to close out my account I got locked out of my account and it took an act of god to get back in it. Now it just loses money to their fees each month. Hasn't made any money. I've had it a year.

They will steal your money. Don't trust them. They will take everything you have. Take your money and run. The people there are corrupt and dumb. Everyone I talked to said they didn't know how to help me.

TLDR; TOTAL LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, WILL LOCK you out of your account, TERRIBLE Customer Service, high monthly fees, high fees for investment accounts, Acorns lacks transparency and accountability. For a company that deals with your personal money and markets that it will save you money, invest it for you and will teach kids about investing...they have absolutely no transparency. Imagine being locked out of your account, not having access to any of your hard earned money, at any time, for any reason, and will never be told why. They can and have done this. Since our experience, I have read 100’s of stories like mine. Buried deep in reviews. They are not a bank, but are backed by a bank, FDIC insured. Safe...right?!? Oh how wrong I was!

Terrible. Locked account. Make you send all types of ID and still locked. Bad attitude on phone. Terrible. As soon as I can get my money I will withdraw and never use or refer them again. My daughter had withdrawal issues and now I am experiencing the same.

They close my account for suspicious activity. After that they ask me to provide id, ss#, self picture with id on hand, one utility bill, one voided check etc and I did provide everything they ask for. I did call 10 times to see if I can get my money back but my account is still locked so I can’t get my money back, I don’t know what else I have to do!! The customer service is poor. They still ask me for the documents already uploaded to the app.

This place is horrible. I have been using them for 11 years and never once have I tried to withdraw any of my money. The first time I tried to they suspended my account. I still have not been able to get my money back.

I'm really starting to think there's some sort of scam going on. I have been trying to close my account and transfer my money out for over a month. Every time I initiate the transfer, they unlink my external account and decline the transfer. I have spent literally hours calling and emailing. I've been escalated to a supervisor twice, and I've been assured twice that the transfer would go through, just for it to get unlinked and declined again. I have no power and no control over my money, and Acorns could care less. At this point, I'm fully convinced that I will have to file a small claims suit against them to ever see my money again. Just don't let them touch your money.

They TAKE your money and the customer service is HORRID. I’ve literally been on hold for over 2hrs, no bueno. Almost $30 taken from my bank account but only $5 invested. HIGHWAY ROBBERS. Do not give them access to your bank accounts!

Our son passed away. No estate was opened so they refuse to send next of kin whatever money he had in his account even tho they have been provided a copy of death certificate and next of kin’s photo ID.

I’ve been Acorns member since 2021. I’ve been doing round ups, so I open investment account & a checking account. He recently locked me out of my checking account and after six calls three times talking to a supervisor and explaining to me that I need to start withdrawing for a different account I sent them a copy of avoided check so that they could stock processing my withdrawals from there and still after five weeks they still have not allowed me to Access my checking account funds.

Acorns Invest is a serial predator who uses numerous fraudulent and illegal tactics to scam innocent investors. They market specifically to new and young investors unfamiliar with state and federal laws, and regulations. You can find well over 30,000 complaints on Apple store, Google store, Trustpilot, Better Business Bureau, Reddit, and various other sites of innocent victims being abused by this company. First, when you call them to close your accounts, they will, but they won't cancel the subscription and indefinitely bill you monthly for services you canceled and are not provided. This is consumer fraud, false advertising, breach of contract, unjust enrichment and illegal. They falsely advertise a better debit card, the black tungsten metal with their gold plan, yet will send you their basic green card, again consumer fraud, false advertising, breach of contract, unjust enrichment and illegal.

I’m writing this review because while the initial customer service is responsive, I have been unable to access my account for over a year. Each time I’ve contacted customer service, they attempt to resolve the issue but ultimately escalate it to a manager. Unfortunately, despite four separate instances of escalation over the past year, no one has followed up with me. Each time, I’m assured the issue will be passed to another department, but it seems to get stuck in a cycle without resolution. I’m now hoping that someone at Acorns can provide me with a direct line to a higher-level manager or someone who can finally address this issue.

I spent 10,000.00 on a 2 week hotel venture and was told at the Acorns website that 2% would be applied to my Acorns account, they didn't deposit the money and by the time I made a complaint it was over the 60 day policy that is not even in their terms and conditions, bottom line is they are Scumbags and do not hold up to their end of our agreement!

Acorns worked great until it didn't. My bank closed my checking account last year after fraud was committed with my stolen quarterly tax payments. After this the nightmare began. Despite repeated attempts I was unable to link new checking account through the app; after researching online I found out the Plaid deposits to look for didn't happen because Plaid isn't around anymore. Acorns has not updated their app to reflect this loss of functionality. Went through representative to link account, and no information is adequate enough for them despite several attempts. I'm completely over this and out thousands of dollars at this point. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.

Tried referring 4 friends during a promotional bonus period. All 4 friends completed steps within the specified period and my referral history showed them all complete. I finally got the normal $5 bonus as did 3 of my 4 friends. I called to find out about the promo bonus and was told all 4 friends completed their steps and it was just a matter of time to get the promo bonus. Still didn't see a week later. Called and was told the same thing. They gave me a date when it would show. Still nothing (promo bonus or the last $5). I called the day after the date they gave me and was told they would investigate why the last $5 hadn't been applied. And the promo bonus wouldn't be paid due to one friend account not in good standing.

I have been with this company for 8 years and until recently haven't had a problem with them. On February 1st 2024 I requested a transfer from my investment account to my bank account. The site said 2-3 business days. It's now been 9 business days and I still haven't seen my money. They took my money out of my investment account right away. I've called several times and get the same response they are working on it and I should just be patience. They are using my money for themselves.. I am at the point now that I am looking into legal action against them. DO NOT INVEST WITH ACORNS!!!!

Offshore employees repeating my requests. No Supervisor to speak to. The d company in MY OPINION, IS A TOTALLY UNETHICAL SCAM. Speaking to the offshore support was simply a very humiliating and degrading experience!!!!

I started a checking account with Acorns Mighty Oak card given their relatively high APY on checking and emergency fund accounts (3% and 5% respectively) and paid monthly 5 $ maintenance fees. They never delivered on what they advertised to do. When I asked them, I was told that is because your account is not really Mighty Oak although you are paying the fees for it. In order to do that, we need to cancel this account, start a new account with a new account number. That is not inconvenience, that also means me updating all my bill payees with new data, potential for error and all the time wasted associated with that. I asked for a callback from their customer service, I never got one.

I experienced fraud by someone trying to open an Acorns checking account and transferred funds from my linked bank account to a fraudulent Acorns account. My bank fixed it. I had to close my checking account and start from scratch - huge hassle. I have tried multiple times to close my Acorns account, and have sent the requested paperwork 3 times now and they keep asking for the same paperwork. Then, they ended up just disconnecting me. I am disgusted with Acorns and suggest staying away from them. If you have ANY issues at all, you will not be helped.

I lost money when I opened my account. I deposited $500 and between their maintenance fees and the market, I kept losing and losing money. When I decided to close the account, they still charged me the maintenance fee. Even though I processed the closing of the account on the 25th, they said that technically the closing was completed on their end on the 28th and therefore I had to pay the maintenance fee due on the 27th. They refused to give me a refund and safe to say I will not be recommending them to anyone.

I opened a account in August 2022. I made a transfer into the account. It then was locked. I called several times to get it unlocked. I was told to send in a PDF showing my name and account number so the account could be verified. I sent it. After sending that they said a 3way call to the linked bank needed to be done. We did the 3 way call. The bank refused to release Acorns the information they need. Then again after that call I was told to send in a bank statement again, a copy of my driver's license and a reason why the account was opened. I also did that. Now they are saying they need another PDF bank statement showing all my transactions (NOT GOING TO HAPPEN). That is personal when I was told they only needed a statement showing my NAME and ACCOUNT NUMBER. I think it's time to take legal representation because now I feel as if they are stealing money locking accounts and refusing to close them or unlock them.

I've noticed that I can't find a statement of what charges are deducted from my savings. That concerns me. I have to take screenshots to keep up with what is going on. Sadly, we can't trust these institutions anymore.

I've had an Acorns portfolio for over 3 years, it had a little over 3 thousand in it. Last year, I had to cancel a bank account due to unrelated fraudulent charges. Now I can't link a bank, customer service just wants a bunch of PDFs that I'm not even sure how to get from my old bank to transfer funds out. I'm trying to close and cancel everything, but they refuse to send me a check. So I guess I just give up on that three grand?

They are promoting there that they are giving big promotions. If you are referring other people, you will never get this money and they’re also charging for a monthly subscription fee, which they never disclose with you.

If you wouldn't believe I am pushing a decade of trying to get them to cancel my account, I wouldn't blame you. Every time they tell me it is canceled they simply stop charging me for a couple months and then begin again. It takes a couple years for me to notice the $3 charge. AND HERE WE GO AGAIN. I can not explain in words how terrible this company is. I have already told them I would rather them throw every dollar I have in that account into a fire than have to continue trying to cancel it. Still fighting this battle. Maybe my great great grandkids will get the account cancelled.

I have made numerous attempts to close this account. The customer service representatives make promises but don’t follow through on their word. I’ve been told no less than three times that my account is closed. I have proof in emails. They give instructions how to close the account yourself, I follow through the prompts. Their site gets glitchy and doesn’t allow you to fully close it so then you have to call customer service who tells you not to worry that they’ve got it all taken care of and then your account get debit again the three dollar fee for subscription, and then they take out the investments - to go towards a closed account. I am livid! Guess I have to go to my bank to put a stop payment so that they stop this once and for all, and I have lost faith that I will get these subscription bogus fees refunded. Look at all the other reviews here and on Better Business Bureau. Wish I did in advance.

Even if you have used the service for years and have paid the monthly $3 fee that goes to who knows what, if you try to move money into your Acorns account for the first time in a while, your account will get locked. It's not as simple as calling them up to unlock it. They want you to EMAIL them a bank statement from your checking account and a screenshot of your checking account showing the transaction to Acorns.

Absolutely no control over investment funds, can't find my account number anywhere, and can't download statements, I contacted customer service for help and they could not help me with anything at all! While this was happening I started looking on the site for the company contact information and they don't have an address, phone number, or email listed on the site at all! Very Fishy! Beware!

I have been using Acorns investing for my kids for about 4 years, and also the debit card feature. I have always used the same account to transfer money into account. Acorns recently locked my account because I transferred money into it. Their reasoning was because it was too large of a transfer (it was not that large). They sent me an email to send in a pdf of my bank statement of the account I was transferring the money out of, and a screenshot of the money leaving my account.

A few weeks after I opened an account, Acorns locked it and won't allow me to have access to it. I have repeatedly asked them to cancel the account and return my money. I can never talk to anyone but some foreign phone service that does nothing to help me. In the meantime, they continue to charge for the subscription. Frankly, this is theft. This is easily the worst company for customer service I have ever dealt with. Avoid this company.

They distributed all of my $2400 dollars to fraudulent person and bank that was not on my account and or profile. They continue to ignore and refuse to take accountability for their incompetence. Called every week for the past 6 months. Been promised contact from internal team members, whatever that means, but not has happened as of this date and time.

I have been with Acorns for a few years. I deposited a check on 6/16/22 for $3,600. Acorns froze my entire account including money not related to the check. I have no funds to get to work or eat. No warning or statement on their website says they will do this. I am a travel nurse. I am out of gas and I can’t access my own money. They say they will be in touch by 6/27/22 which is 2 weeks away. I will be unemployed by that time for missing work. I have reported to FDIC and FINRA. Sham of a company. Stay far away!!

I opened a checking account with Acorns about a year ago, attracted by their "no fees" advertising. (False, by the way, you're charged $5 a month.) Within my first year, I had to order a new card twice due to mysterious, unexplained data compromises. It took them more than a week to ship me a new card, during which time I had no access to the cash in my checking account. The second time they shipped me a new card, their explanation for the long wait time was that the special steel card had to be "etched" and customized. They still took 10-14 business days to send the card... and it was plastic.

Acorns robbed me of a deposit of $100.00 and a $2,000.00 totaling to $2,100.00. After the $2,000.00 USD deposit, my account was froze and I was asked to show proof of ownership of my primary/linked account via email by requesting a pdf file of my bank statement. The requested was fulfilled and checked completely out all this confirmed. After a bank call and documents via email, the customer service rep then proceeded to inform me that the request to urgently unlock my account within one business day.

I have been trying to get my account unlocked since Feb 14, 2022; all I can get is foreign customer service representatives that work from home and they have been no help with this issue. I have submitted all the required information that ACORNS CSR have asked for, I have gone over and over with them proving who I am and nobody has helped me solve this issue. I have replied to all emails that have been sent and I have also followed through with the email from Acorns that they sent as a possible resolution from the contact with the Better Business Bureau as per request. Once again I have submitted the requested information and I still have not gotten a response to help me unlock my account. I am not sure if I need to seek legal advice but that can be done as well.

After I spent practically a full day talking their customer service people, which by the way is outsourced to who knows where, and speaking to people with names like Cherish and Princess, I mean really why choose stripper names? I didn't get my issue resolved. Acorns has my account locked because they needed to verify with my bank that it's really me with the account. None of this made sense since the transfer showed that it had gone when I looked at my bank statements. Anyways, I went ahead and did what they asked and they called my bank. Everything got verified and now I'm waiting for them to unlock my account. After reading the reviews from various sites and sources, I've decided that I don't want to work with them anymore and will eventually close my account after I know for sure that I have access to it.

I have been using Acorns for several years now. Loved the idea, although multiple times they would go in, sometimes more than once in a day and take my 'round-ups'. Since the market is very unsteady now, I decided to cash out. I was told on the app, just how much I would be receiving. When I went to check my account to see if the funds had been received 4 days later, I saw that they continued to take funds from my account, and still had not deposited my funds. I called and complained, and was told to wait a few more days, and that they would not be taking any funds from my account.... but not refunding what they had taken after my account had been closed. It's not enough for me to go after them for, I just would never work with them again and do not recommend.

Closed my account in October and they kept charging me $3 a month. I called them on 2 different occasions to have them stop charging my account. Finally in February I blocked them using my bank. They apologized a lot but it's obvious that the customer service people didn't know why I was being charged and had no clue on how to fix the problem. I guess if they can't make money on the money you invest they will just charge you subscription fees until you notice. Horrible experience.

I woke up this morning to find ACORNS took $126.44 from my account. All I wanted was the spare change to go into Acorns. Called and texted customer service. Guess what? They blocked me. Used my mother's phone to call this company and they have a whole different name. The number magically disappeared, They froze my account. I had to pay my bank $35 to stop the transaction... STAY FAR AWAY FROM ACORNS.

I have had an investing account with Acorns for a couple years now with no issue, but recently I get my round ups restarted, open a retirement account, and a checking account with them as they were offering a couple promotions. Well as soon as my direct deposit confirms to my Acorns checking account and my debit card is activated, my ENTIRE account is suspended because suddenly they are "audited" and need to confirm my address. They didn't halt transfers, or restrict a couple features, no they completely suspended my entire account refusing me access to even SEE my own account balances or check on ANYTHING. I supply them with a renter's insurance policy bill, internet bill, home security bill, water bill, energy bill, and gas bill, all in my name at the address in question. They state that it will take 1-2 days to review, completely unsatisfied with that answer I go to their site to chat with a live agent.

Acorns is great. The round up feature helps to remember to invest. It's also fun to watch my balance grow. I have referred this company to my friends and family as well. They seem to love it. I will continue to use this service.

It's easy to use and doesn't require much work or effort. You just have to sign up with an account and it will round up to the nearest dollar and invest the change. It hasn't been a noticeable amount but it's nice to see it add up over time.

Don't fall for it like I did. I'm going to go elsewhere and encourage others too as well. After saving 13k with their program, I fell for one of their incentive program pitches and had two friends sign up, make deposits, etc. within a week. They met all the requirements AND a rep assured me they were counted and I'd get the $200 bonus. A few weeks later I inquired as to when the bonus would be available and was told I was no longer getting it and they wouldn't tell me why. A very convenient set-up for them...I just hate dishonest manipulative marketing. Don't fall for it.

I set up an Acorns account about two years ago. I wasn't using it as a serious investment tool, thankfully. Just putting in a little a month, and doing the "round up" thing with one of my debit cards. I kind of forgot about it, then decided I didn't need it and wanted to close my account. I have never had so much trouble trying to get access to my own money! Customer support is a joke. After finally getting someone on chat, who was no help, I was told that my issue would be escalated and I would get an email in one or two days.

I opened an Acorns account around January 2020. It was a great experience saving change that was rounded up. So, I also decided to open a spend account with them as well in which you purchase a debit card to use and have your funds transferred from your other bank. I have never had a problem and had enjoyed using it. Last week, Wednesday, I transferred $1030 to my spend account knowing I needed to pay some bills and have money for the weekend. It usually takes 1-2 days for the transfer to complete.
