Smart Investing
Acorns makes it easy to invest regularly while optimizing your investment through diversification and automatic rebalancing. In other words, we give you an automated system to help you follow good principles of investing, like patience and diversification, without having to think about it.
Bank Level Security
Your peace of mind is our highest priority. Acorns protects your information, prevents unauthorized account access, and notifies you of unusual activity.
Simple Fees
Only $1.25/mo for accounts under $5,000 and just 0.275% per year for accounts $5,000 or more.
- Deposit & withdraw whenever you like - no additional fees.
- No fees for accounts with a $0 balance.
HOW WE INVEST
Diversification
Instead of trying to pick individual stocks, Acorns diversifies your investment across hundreds of the most widely held Australian and international companies, corporate bonds, government bonds, and cash.
Automatic Rebalancing
Acorns automatically rebalances your portfolio to mitigate risk and optimize returns. This means we keep your account in a target mix of stocks and bonds by buying more when they are cheaper and less when they are more expensive. Buy low, sell high.

App functions well for me , switched from iOS version and it's just as smooth. Only thing that miss is using fingerprints! Acorns as a product is a great way getting into investing with small ammounts. Fees are so so but still a neat concept.

I have loved this app for about 8 months now! Its the easiest way for me to save, but all of a sudden the 'roundups' feature keeps freezing and then crashes. I have continually sent feedback. C'mon guys... fix it! How can I trust it will work when I want to take out my savings? Hmmm.

Great little app that cuts straight to the point. Although acorns isn't the cheapest managed fund out there, it's simplicity and easy of use makes it very attractive. Further, the returns have been above expectations so far.

Great concept, some niggles. How do I turn off My Finances and associated notifications? I find it patronising that the app thinks it knows more about my budget than I do. The monthly fee should also be incorporated into the returns. And performance charts for income products (eg bonds) should show gross return lr yield rather than price. It would also be great to have an income forecaster for conservative portfolios - when are the next payments or dividends expected. Otherwise, a great user experience.

Way back in December 2016 I emailed the devs to ask if fingerprint login was going to be included in the Android app given it was long available on the iPhone app. They responded positively and said that it be added to the list of feature requests but here we are almost a year later and still no fingerprint login.

Hi Guys. Great App and so on. I had a withdrawal request on 11th Dec and it reflects on my Acorn account for the last But not on my bank account. I called the 1300 number and was told it will be deposited on 18th. And it's not in my account yet. I m on Holidays so can't call 1300 number from overseas and no one responded to my previous comments yet. I have just edited to reflect the current situation.
