Micro-investing platform for everyday users
About Acorns
Acorns simplifies investing for everyday people, particularly those new to investing or preferring a hands-off approach. Its main product is a micro-investing platform that allows users to invest spare change from everyday purchases. For instance, if a user buys a coffee for $2.50, Acorns rounds up the purchase to $3.00 and invests the $0.50 difference. This makes investing accessible for those without large sums to invest upfront. Acorns also offers retirement accounts, checking accounts, and educational resources to help users make informed financial decisions. Unlike many competitors, Acorns operates on a subscription model, charging users a monthly fee based on the level of service. The company also partners with brands to provide cashback rewards that are automatically invested into users' accounts. Acorns aims to make investing easy and accessible, helping clients grow their financial knowledge and wealth.
