What is a Dividend?
A dividend is a periodic payout of earnings that some companies share with investors. Think of it as a little bonus on top of regular returns.
Are Dividends reinvested?
Acorns automatically reinvests your dividends for you, which can help your investment balance grow faster.
Where can I find my Dividends?
You can view your dividends by logging in to your account and clicking on “Invest.” Go to Recent activity and click on “View all.” In the green box, you will see a summary of activity. Below the green box, you will see individual transactions. Click on a “Dividend” and it will provide more information regarding that particular dividend, along with an option to “Download Trade Confirmation.”
