I like the flexibility to save... I like the flexibility to save money without over-thinking the process.

Account validation very long!! Account validation and review takes a long time. It's 2024 and I can't believe they cannot automate this process. Customer service keep going back and forth on having to upload picture of ID, then back and forth again on having to upload picture of ID and another picture of me actually holding the ID. This is ridiculous as I'm opening an account and putting money into it, not withdrawing from an account that already exists.

Acorns is BS My original checking account linked to Acorns was closed by my bank after both of my quarterly tax payments were stolen from the post office. Have been unable to link new checking account, Plaid is gone despite app still referencing it, and no matter how much info you send it to verify your updated account it is never enough, because they are "protecting the security of your account;" ripping you off more like. I am no longer jumping through their hoops and I'm out approximately $4K. Avoid Acorns at all costs, just burn your money if you want to be rid of it that badly.

The worst company ever The worst company ever, such a scam! They suspended my account and asking me for the utility bill that I don't have because I don't have utilities under my name. Even though they suspended my account, they are still taking money from my bank account! I guess I better contact my bank and report them because I'm tired dealing with them. I can see that other people are having the same issues.

My experience has been quite smooth… My experience has been quite smooth unlike many of the low rating reviews. I'm not saying, here, that their experiences respectively shouldn't be considered. I have never tried nor needed to close my account, so im not sure how that may unfold if that event should arise. However, I've had absolutely no problems with Acorns. When I needed to withdrawal, I received the money in due time if not sooner. I love the ease of making quick, one-time deposits along with the recurring deposits, and being a "set it and forget it", its made it very easy to save not only for myself, but my daughter. The round ups are a wonderful feature, better than putting change in a jar, at least there is a chance for it to grow, rather than collect dust. That being said, it's still wise to diversify :)
