motivation for the children

Someone made unauthorized charges to my daughters account and Acorns was unhelpful in stopping the transactions or helping her recoup the money lost. Very difficult to transfer money out and cancel service.

Hi Kelly,
We’re sorry to hear about your daughter’s experience and understand how concerning unauthorized activity on an account can be, as well as how important it is to ensure that your daughter's card is secure, and we will always do what we can to help.
We’d appreciate the chance to look into this further. I have arranged a call today to discuss the issues with you, so we can review the transactions and discuss next steps.
You can also contact our support team directly please give us a call at 855 739 2859. Monday to Friday 9am - 8pm EST, Saturday/Sunday 9am - 5pm EST.
Thanks,
Calumn - Acorns Early Supervisor

Hi Loren, thank you for your four-star review. The monthly fee is what allows us to keep the lights on and, most importantly, deliver the quality service your family relies on. It directly pays for three critical areas:
👨🏻💻Our Dedicated Support Team: You are speaking to me right now! We staff a specialized team of real people, available to help with card issues, app questions, and financial education features. A basic bank often routes you to long phone queues or automated bots. Your fee ensures you can reach us when you need us.
📲Continuous App Development: The fee funds our team of engineers and designers who are constantly adding those premium features—like goal setting, chore integration, and new security updates—that make our app the best financial tool for your child.
🔐Security and Card Management: We pay fees to card networks (like Visa/Mastercard) and data security experts to ensure every transaction is secure, and that the instant card-locking feature works perfectly, giving you complete control and peace of mind. review

Great features, no so great handling disputed charges
The interface is simple to use. The ability to view transactions, get alerts, and transfer money is seamless. The feature side is nice, however, the app lacks in handling fraud or unauthorized purchases. There should be a seamless way to click and dispute charges. Currently, you have to submit a message to customer service, then wait for an auto-generated reply. The first message I sent was not answered, but the second message I sent was replied to the next day.
I’ve spent weeks trying to resolve this issue. Banks and credit unions handle these types of issues immediately and with less friction.
The app is great if you never have fraud or suspicious charges. Although, the block card feature did prevent future fraud charges, there’s still the issue of working with customer service for a credit of funds.
