Acorns Earn rewards investments are made by Acorns Grow, Inc. into your Acorns Invest account through a partnership Acorns Grow maintains with each Acorns Earn partner.
Compounding, generally, is the growth of principal investments due to the reinvestment of dividends without withdrawing funds from the account. Acorns investment accounts do no pay interest, so the impact of compounding may be limited. Acorns clients may not experience compound returns and investment results will vary based on market volatility and fluctuations that will impact the value of any investment account.

FAQ
What is Acorns?
Acorns is an app that helps you easily save and invest every day — no experience or expertise required! Sign up in less than 5 minutes and start investing your spare change in an expert-built portfolio.
Why do I need to add my Social Security number?
The Patriot Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person opening an account. We also require your social security number to issue you a tax reporting form at the end of each year.
Why do I have to pay a subscription fee?
Instead of charging surprise fees every time you want to move, deposit, or withdraw your money, we bundle our products into simple, transparent subscription tiers ($1, $3, or $5) designed to support your financial wellness.
How do I get the exclusive Cricket Nation $1 subscription plan?
Start by signing up for a new account on your Cricket Wireless phone. When you reach the “Choose your Subscription Plan” step, click on “Compare subscription plans.” There, you’ll find the $1 tier only for Cricket Wireless customers! (Heads up! The $1 tier is only available when you first sign up for Acorns.)
Can I withdraw or transfer my money?
Yes! You can withdraw or transfer money out of your Invest account at any time. Heads up — due to regulatory requirements, it can take 3-6 business days for withdrawals to transfer to your primary checking account. As a reminder, withdrawals may create a taxable event. If you have questions on your personal tax treatment, please consult a tax advisor.
When do I get my $20 from Acorns?
You’ll receive your $20 bonus investment within 60 days after you’ve signed up through Cricket Wireless and invested at least $5 into your account.
How do I get the $1 monthly Cricket Wireless credit?
Each month you pay your Cricket Wireless service with a debit or credit card linked to your Acorns account, you’ll get $1 added to your Invest account automatically.
Why should I sign up for Acorns?
We know that the majority of Americans (54%)** are struggling to pay bills and are not saving enough causing them to live paycheck-to-paycheck. At Acorns, we believe in making it simple for people to improve their financial circumstances with easy-to-use financial tools. Start saving and investing today for your future.
