How to Get Acorns Fees Waived by Yourself

Frankly, Acorns is watched closely by financial institutions and submits itself to regulatory compliance checks with SEC and FINRA. The point is that Acorn's contracts are nearly ironclad. If you're not a lawyer or at least a trained paralegal, you're going to struggle to get Acorns fees waived.

But here's how to try:

• Gather your documents from Acorns, including any paper statements
• Log on to the app
• Or visit the customer service portion of the website

From there, you can try to speak to a representative about your unwanted fees. They'll likely give you a runaround about contracts. You can ask to speak to a supervisor and provide them with a contact phone number. A supervisor might call you back, eventually. They might give you some forms to fill out, or they might not!

• You can also try writing an email.
• Explain why you disagree with the Acorns fees in a professional and polite tone.
• Be sure to include all the details possible and the related dates.
• Include return contact information, like your phone number.

For instance, say something like, "On January 31, 2021, I was charged $3 for an individual banking package, but I only have a $1 per month investment account. Therefore, I request a refund of $2."

Acorns will send you a long, complex document to fill out and return. They're counting on the fact that your time is not worth the $1 or $0.25 to fill out a form correctly. And if you miss something important, like a date or signature, they'll toss your paperwork.

That's why DoNotPay is the better way! You don't need to be an attorney to get treated like one!

About Acorns Fees

Acorns fees start at $1 / month for all accounts with a balance under $1 million. Spoiler alert: you'll never save that kind of cash with spare change investing. Then, the monthly fee increases to $100 / month for every $1 million you have invested with the app.

Acorns also offer broader financial services, like checking and savings accounts, debit cards, and the like. At the time of writing, those cost $3 / month for an individual and $5 for a family plan.

This fee is meager compared to other banks, mutual funds, and investment brokers. Some other brokers charge a hefty percentage, and banks are always ready to nail consumers with a fee.

The challenge many Acorns customers face is those small fees, an extra quarter here or there that doesn't make sense. You don't need to take that abuse! Use DoNotPay to appeal and waive Acorns fees. It's easy!

And that's not all you can do with the app.
