Acorns simplifies investing for everyday people, particularly those new to investing or who prefer a hands-off approach. Its main service is a micro-investing platform that allows users to invest spare change from everyday purchases. For instance, if a user buys a coffee for $2.50, Acorns rounds up the purchase to $3.00 and invests the $0.50 difference. This makes investing accessible to individuals who may not have large amounts of money to invest initially. Acorns also offers retirement accounts, checking accounts, and educational resources to help users make informed financial decisions. The company operates on a subscription model, charging users a monthly fee between $1 and $5, and earns additional revenue through partnerships that provide cashback rewards, which are automatically invested into users' accounts. Acorns stands out by combining technology with expert financial advice, making it easier for clients to grow their wealth and financial knowledge.
