Acorn is trustworthy

Acorn is trustworthy. I've been with them for about 8 months and my account has been growing. I can see where my money is going and that gives me the excitement to save more. I have not withdrawn anything since I opened the account but to my understanding, Acorn doesn't charge for withdrawals but you may have to pay taxes.

I love using the Acorns app to pay allowance!

I love using the Acorns app to pay my children their allowance. It makes things much easier and teaches them how to use a debit card which is a necessity in today's society! I think it's important that children know these things from a young age so they are prepared for the world and it doesn't overwhelm them when they graduate from high school.
