Acorns: Invest Spare Change 4+

Amazing way to recover your stolen funds!

I was impatient to carry out necessary research but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 75,700 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 214,575 GBP within a couple of weeks. But I didn't realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online search for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptography funds with the help of RemotePundit So I file a report on RemotePundit @ Gmail and he was able to help me get back all my lost funds withing 2 weeks I feel indebted to him. Apart from trying to express my gratitude to them once again using this medium, I will recommend anybody who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary options forex, investment and any other form of online scam to reach out to RemotePundit @ gmail

No Feedback on Account Setup

Acorns has since solved my problem, turns out they were simply experiencing a serious backlog to new accounts looking forward to the weeks ahead to see how much I can round up on my card transactions.

—— old review below—-
Like everyone I was very excited to start rounding up sadly I never had the opportunity to experience any of the feature sets Acorns has to offer. The account setup was pretty easy and enjoyable although finding out after signing my certificate that it still would take 1 - 3 business days to verify my account was a bit disappointing but I get it. Here is where Acorns fell short, till this day 5 days later it still says I need to wait 1 - 3 business days for my account to be setup, uh hello it’s been 5 days! Like any American on day 3 I picked up the phone and called support, I was on the phone for about an hour before I got disconnected due to interruptions in service. I also tried email support but have heard nothing, no confirmation to my email over my support ticket nothing, maybe somethings up with my email but at this point I would prefer to speak with a human being and I think any service offering to make transactions from your bank account should support quick and easy customer service. I am open to changing my review if I ever get any support to rectify this rogue issue.

Great for Investing - Spend is garbage

I like investing on here. Yeah, savings are mainly through round-ups, but I’ve saved a lot. The spend account, however, neither makes sense nor connects to anything within Acorns. You would think you could just move money between your other accounts but it really is just a one way bank account. So I have no idea what the point is. Most people signed up using another bank. If you withdraw funds they go to that bank. You can’t even move invest funds to spend. It seems like they will send you plenty of notifications about your unused spend card but not explain that it is a separate bank account that cannot be linked to your other accounts in any seemingly useful way.

Edit: I did talk to customer service again and figured out what was making spend more difficult. It might be a decent primary checking account, but I won’t be using it for that.
One thing I do like is that round-ups are easy. The other thing, which is easy to forget, is that Acorns will alert you when outside funds are low and pause investments, even when your primary bank doesn’t. Customer service is good, and aside from that time when everyone thought Acorns was hacked and started freaking out because the app kept closing, logging you out, or saying your login info was wrong, it’s been pretty solid. I lost a bunch of funds when Covid tanked the economy but I’ve mostly gained it all back. Probably from spending money to live, but that’s neither here nor there.
