How do I change my primary checking account?

To ensure your account’s security, we may require documentation verifying your ownership of both the current and new primary checking accounts. Please note, you MUST be listed as an owner on both accounts. If your account requires additional verification, please follow the prompts on the Acorns website or app for additional details.
