What do I need to get started?

Once you download the Acorns app or sign up through our web app, you'll need:

1. A valid email address where we can reach you and regularly send you account information
2. Your online banking login information to link your accounts to round-up spare change and to fund your investments
3. Your physical address should be your most permanent address since we can't accept a PO Box or business address
4. Your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) to confirm your identify and so we can send you the right tax forms
5. General Profile Information like your financial goals, occupation, and earnings. This will help us recommend the right portfolio for you.
6. You must be 18 years old to open an account

After signing up, you may also need to upload a photo of your government-issued ID or other documentation that helps us verify your identity.

That's it! Most accounts are approved within 1 business day.
