Acorns Early Reviews 

Acorn Early has been a great way to introduce our kids to concepts of savings and budgeting. It's easy to use and easy to manage the money between kids' accounts from the parent "dashboard". The lessons are easy for kids from ages 8-ish + to understand.

DO NOT USE ACORNS!
My experience with Acorns has been horrible. My card was compromised, and instead of Acorns properly investigating the fraudulent charges, I was pressured to contact the merchant and basically handle the situation myself.
I contacted the merchant, and they told me Acorns should have been investigating the dispute. So what exactly am I trusting a financial company with my money for if I’m left doing the fraud investigation myself?
The customer service was terrible, the entire process was frustrating, and I did not feel protected as a customer. I ended up closing my account because I completely lost trust in the company.
I would NEVER recommend Acorns. When something goes wrong with your money, you need a company that will actually step up, investigate, communicate, and protect its customers—not pass the responsibility back onto you.
Save yourself the headache and use another company.

ACORNS EARLY stole my child’s gifted money and the money I transferred to
My parent account! Over $500. No one on the customer service lines is able to help or transfer to anyone higher up. This is fraud. Do not fall for this scam.

Excellent and kind customer service. Problem solved immediately

Over 3 weeks to return funds on a closed account. No explanation and I don't have my money yet - over USD$2k. Called them after 3 weeks, no explanation, just, "We didn't do it. But, you'll have it in another 3 to 5 business days."

It always asks me to set up a weekly allowance. I don’t want to, and it’s very annoying. There’s no way to make it stop that I can tell.

Accessibility, reliability, and Speed are some of the great features that make up this amazing app! Very simple and easy to use!

Transferring money is not instant which incase of emergency would not be good

Easy to maneuver through.

Great App for your kids to learn about spending/saving money on their own debit card.

Had to update my phone number and she helped me make the changes.

Very easy to talk to an very easy to fix my problem with a blocked card...I highly recommend this card ..they are amazing...

Acorn early is a great way to teach young kids about money management and getting paid for doing chores. Any issues you may have, the customer service team like Angie is great and pleasant. She’ll take the time to assist you with any problems you have.

Great to give kids chores paying

I'm a 70yr old Grandma setting up accounts for my Grandchildren it's a challenging so Bear with me... I'm a very slow learner...

Easy, efficient, quick

It doesn't let me verify my daughter's social security number and now it says I have two kids on the invest and there's only one kid and it doesn't let me delete the second

Easier to send money and money is not ever misplaced… I really love the alerts to ensure my child I spending in places he can only spend at and with our knowledge

Ease of use and clear navigation. Everything I need to see a know about my money is there or options are presented in a way that help me make firm financial decisions.
