Invest with Spare Change
Investing does not have to be complicated with hours of research on which stocks to purchase, or when to buy/sell. You can open an account through Acorns and start investing today.
With Acorns your spare change is invested into various options based on your preferences. You can link eligible debit/credit card(s), and each time you use the linked card your purchase will be rounded up. Save your spare change for a year and see how quickly it adds up.
If you want to keep a consistent flow of cash into your account, you can set up Acorns to invest $20 a month for you, which ensures you will invest $240 into your account by the end of the year.
To help kick start your account, we have included a link below to receive $5 when setting up an account. By the end of the year you will have invested $245, in addition to your spare change.
