How long does it take to invest money?

Good question. When you invest money, it’s called a “buy order.” 

Buy orders placed before 5pm PST should be invested the next business day, and it takes 2-3 business days for them to fully process and appear in your Acorns account.

During this period, your bank processes the transfer, and we buy shares on your behalf.  

Random Deposit Verification (RDV) may be required to process some investments. Deposits in excess of $10,000 may require additional confirmation.




Withdrawing investments is called a “sell order”. The timeline depends on your bank’s processing policies. 

You can track the status of a transfer in the Recent Activity section of the account.

Note: the market is open between 9:30am to 4:00pm ET on weekdays, excluding holidays. Any transactions requested outside of the market’s working hours will begin processing when the market is open.

We hope this helps you grow your oak!
