Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience.
We can see you contacted us to raise an issue with the app closing and redirecting you to the Google Play Store when logging in. While our agent attempted to troubleshoot the issue, further information was needed to escalate this.
We understand that you have now chosen to close your account, though we’re sorry to see you go. Your remaining $5 balance has been refunded and should reach your stored payment method within 7 - 10 business days from the account closure date.
We’ll also give you a call today to discuss this and see if there’s anything we can do to improve your experience.
Kind regards,
Ella - Acorns Early Supervisor

I thought I cancelled this card but it still took out $8 and I don't know why. Y'all should make it easier to understand how to cancel everything now I'm over drafted and I was trying to avoid that. I'm not upset or raging but y'all definitely need to improve services

Parent Wallet
I dislike how my money has to be in parent wallet to transfer money to my child. I wish I could just put money on her card straight from my personal checking account also, so I didn’t have to have a parent wallet at all.

Thank you for taking the time to discuss your review with me on the phone. It was a pleasure speaking with you.
I am pleased that I have been able to provide some clarity on where the funds have gone and your account has now been closed. I have followed up with an email with some further information and provided confirmation of the cancellation. It goes without saying that we don't wish to lose you as a customer at this time but we hope to welcome you back soon.
