Acorns is a micro-investing app that automatically invests spare change from everyday purchases into diversified portfolios. Founded in 2012 by Walter and Jeff Cruttenden, Acorns has grown to over 10 million subscribers. The Round-Up feature links to users' debit and credit cards and rounds each purchase up to the nearest dollar, investing the difference automatically. Acorns offers five risk-based portfolios built with ETFs managed by experts. The platform includes Acorns Later for IRA retirement accounts, Acorns Early for custodial investment accounts for children, Acorns Earn for cashback rewards from partner brands, and Acorns Checking with a metal debit card. The app provides financial literacy content through its Money Basics section and is designed specifically for beginning investors who want to start with small amounts.
