What is Emergency Fund?

The Emergency Fund is a non-interest-bearing account held separate from your Acorns Checking and Invest accounts.

To get started, you’ll first need to set up an Acorns Checking account and then set up direct deposit. Once the first direct deposit is successfully made into your Acorns Checking account, you will then be able to set up the Emergency Fund by:

1. Navigating to the main menu of your Acorns app
2. Then click on Save and follow the prompts
