What is Emergency Fund?

Your Emergency Fund is a financial safety net that can keep your budget, your cash flow, and your investments on track, no matter what life throws at you. 

We'll help you set money aside for emergencies, and you can immediately move it into your Acorns Checking account for easy access whenever you need it.

To get started, you’ll first need to set up an Acorns Checking account. You will then be able to set up the Emergency Fund by:

1. Tapping the 'Bank' icon on your bottom navigation menu
2. Tapping 'Emergency Fund' and follow the prompts. If you have not yet opened an Acorns Checking account or if you are not on the right subscription plan, you will be prompted to take the appropriate steps.
