Hi Kearra,
Thank you for speaking with me earlier. I’m glad we could connect and resolve this together.
As we discussed, the amount deducted went toward outstanding monthly subscription fees on your account. However, we always want to ensure our families have a positive experience with us, so we have credited two months of those fees back to your account.
Thank you for being a part of our community. We wish you all the best in your journey of helping your kids build great money habits for the future!
Regards,
Suvechha - Acorns Early Supervisor

Tried to send my son money via a gift link and it never went through. Have been back and forth with support saying it’s fixed when it is not, and a continual cycle of “this will be addressed in 2 to 3 working days”.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear of the delays you have experienced in resolving the concerns relating to the gift payment.
I was able to locate your co-parent account using the details provided with the review and tried to give you a call; however, I was unable to reach you. I have therefore sent you a follow-up email to your registered email address. Your case is now with the supervisor team, and we will ensure that your concerns raised are fully addressed.
Please can I kindly ask you to review the email I have sent at your earliest convenience? If you would prefer to speak over the phone, we are happy to schedule a callback. We are open from 9 am - 8 pm EST Monday - Friday and 9 am - 5 pm EST Saturday - Sunday.

Transfers to parent wallet take too long. Never received my promo $20 allowance.

Reply from Acorns Early
Hi! This is not something we would ever expect for our members. I am sorry to hear that this has been your experience. The transfers between the parent wallet and the child's card should be pretty much instant, but if you are referring to transferring funds back to your bank account, then this would take the standard 3-5 working days to be refunded. With the $20 allowance payment, this should have applied within 24 hours of the card activation, but if this has not happened, please give us a call at (855) 739-2859, and a member of the team will be happy to get this looked into for you. 😀
Great tool for kids & parents
This makes allowance and spending on my child so easy to manage and keep track of. It's helped both me and my child become more aware and responsible with money. I had an issue with Acorns but with Acorns Early everything has been great so I try to keep my experiences seperated. I definitely recommend this to anyone with a child that's getting older and wants their own money, it will make things easier or you both!

Hi Ann,
Thank you for taking the time to share your review.
I am truly sorry to hear about the strain these charges have caused, and I completely understand your frustration.
Because Acorns Early is a subscription-based service, a monthly fee is charged to maintain the specialized parental controls, chore tracking, and financial learning features on the account. These membership fees are automatically deducted each month from your stored payment method until the account is fully closed.
Using the details provided, I located an account and attempted to call you directly to help resolve this, but I was unable to reach you. I have just sent a detailed follow-up email to your registered email address with more information and options to assist you.
Please review that email as soon as you can. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to either respond to the email I have sent or call our team at (855) 739-2859 or connect with our Customer Support agents via Live Chat at https://www.acorns.com/early/. We are open from Monday to Friday 9am - 8pm EST and Saturday/Sunday 9am - 5pm EST
Take care,

Hi Jimmie, thank you for leaving us some positive feedback. We really appreicate it. ☺️
I really love my experience
I really love my experience, I just started using this about five months ago to easily transfer and allowance to my son so that he could use it whenever he wants, all of the features on the website are really amazing and easy to use. I love the auto load function to make it simpler for me to pay my son’s allowance. The little missions are awesome and easy to understand for my son and he actually enjoys them. The only thing I would suggest is more card options, but we picked the football one for him because he’s 10 and just getting into it.

Hi Elidia, thank you for your 5 star review. We really appreciate it!
The experience and interface could be better
The interface could be better. It should give real banking and financial management tools like wealthfront or an advanced online banking platform to get them ready for the future. It offers no crypto exposure and by the time they're adults it will be mainstream and they will have missed the opportunity. I'm trying to figure out how to just give my kids my coinbase account so they can learn to invest and lose money and learn everything they're supposed to about management and risk by the time they're an adult, how can they do that in acorns mow my lawn for $10 like it's 1950.. It's supposed to pay their allowance on Wednesday but for some reason your app skips that and then wants to process it on Saturday. Lots of people on Reddit complain about these silly issues as well. The normal acorns platform is just as bad. It gives you 12 stocks to invest in and almost no crypto. You guys are going the way of the dinosaurs 100%.

Watch your bank account if you cancel!
I tried out Acorns Early / GoHenry. After creating the sub account, I got completely locked out of it. I attempted to resolve with support to no avail. I could access the parent account, but could not access the Go Henry side. For other reasons, I made the decision to cancel everything, delete my banking information, deactivate all accounts. I received the confirmation email that GoHenry/Acorns Early was in the "cancellation process" and I received all the funds returned to my bank account from the parent account. They didn't actually cancel my account, but it was deactivated. Continued to debit $5/mth every month post cancellation from my bank account even though my bank details had previously been deleted and my account deactivated.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with your account access and the ongoing charges. This is certainly doesn't sound like an experience we want for any customer.
As no account details were provided in your review, I am unable to locate your account to investigate this specific situation. Please note that following a cancellation, you should typically expect to receive your closing balance within 7–10 working days.
We would like to get this resolved for you as quickly as possible. Please email us with the subject 'FAO Supervisors' to help@acornsearly.com so this can be passed to our Supervisors promptly, or call our Customer Service Team on (855) 739-2859. Our phone lines are open 7 days a week: 9am–8pm EST Monday to Friday and 9am–5pm EST Saturday to Sunday.
