Why is there a subscription for Mighty Oak Card?
There is not a separate charge for the Mighty Oak Card. The Mighty Oak Card is available at the $6 and $12 subscription tiers. The subscription is a monthly cost for a suite of Acorns products that can help you save and invest for your future.
What happens to my Mighty Oak card if I downgrade/upgrade my subscription?
You can keep using your Mighty Oak card as long as you are in the $6 subscription tier or above.
If you downgrade from the $6 tier, you’ll need to close your Acorns Checking account, and will no longer be able to use the Mighty Oak card associated with it.

What is Dwayne Johnson’s involvement with Acorns and the Mighty Oak card?
Dwayne Johnson is proud to partner with Acorns on the release of the Acorns Mighty Oak debit card, a new way of banking that saves and invests for you.
Johnson knows firsthand the impact of saving over time. When he was cut from the Canadian Football League and left jobless in his early 20s, he had only $7 to his name. At that moment, Johnson decided to chart his own course in life. Committed to helping others lift themselves out of the toughest of times, Johnson is a champion of financial literacy and hopes to inspire Americans to shape their future by investing in themselves.
“I am personally invested in helping people achieve financial stability and success,” said Johnson. “I’ve worked with Acorns to help create a card that makes it easy for people to prioritize saving and investing to build a solid foundation for their future. I’ve been there, and know what it’s like to count every dollar and save every last cent possible to provide for my family and myself. I wish I had the Mighty Oak Card back when I had only $7 in my pocket, which is why I helped create this card now to empower people to take control of their financial well-being. One step at a time.”
Paid advertisement. Dwayne Johnson and his creative agency receive substantial compensation from Acorns and its affiliates to promote Acorns, which creates a conflict of interest that can be expected to bias his views. Additional important disclosures at acorns.com/mightyoakcard.

How do I get my subscription cost waived with the Mighty Oak Card?
Customers who set up a direct deposit of at least $250 per calendar month into their Acorns Checking account will receive a subscription waiver for as long as they have direct deposit set up and meet eligibility requirements.
Please note the following:
This waiver will be applied to either the $6 or $12 tiers as long as you have the Mighty Oak Card and an active direct deposit set up.
If you stop the direct deposit, the waiver will be removed.
If you set it up again in the future, the waiver will be reapplied.
If you set up direct deposit using the app, then the fee waiver will automatically be applied once the deposit is deemed a success.
If you set up direct deposit through your employer, then the fee waiver will automatically be applied once the direct deposit hits the Acorns Checking account.
(it may take 1-2 pay cycles for the direct deposit to hit the customer's Checking account).

Please follow the below steps to complete your order:
What is APY and how does it work with Acorns?
The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) tells you the amount of interest your money can earn after compounding for a year. With Acorns, you can make sure your money is always working for you. Just as the money in your Acorns Invest account has the opportunity to grow over time, the money in your Mighty Oak Checking and Emergency Fund accounts will grow as it earns interest.
You may be familiar with the interest you pay to lenders when you take out a loan (also known as an annual percentage rate, or APR). Interest can go the other way, too. When you have money in a bank account that offers APY, you receive interest on the amount you deposit.
APY factors in compounding interest as well. Your money compounds when you earn interest on money that’s already earned interest. Pay attention to the compounding period on any account — interest can compound daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly. Our Acorns Checking and Emergency Fund APY both accrue interest daily and pay out interest monthly. Try out our compound interest calculator yourself to learn more about how compounding works!
What’s a high APY? How does the Mighty Oak Card compare?
The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is a measure of the interest rate on your accounts, and it can vary widely, ranging from a fraction of a percent to several percentage points. These rates are subject to fluctuations based on the decisions made by the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates. Currently, when signed up for the Mighty Oak Card, the Acorns Checking account is at a 3% APY, and the Emergency Fund is at a 4.52% APY.
The specific APY rate on your accounts plays a pivotal role in determining how your savings grow over time. A higher APY can significantly increase the interest you earn, while a lower one may provide more modest returns. It's important to be aware that the Federal Reserve, which acts as the central bank of the United States, has the authority to adjust interest rates as a part of its monetary policy. These adjustments can have a direct impact on the APY rates for various financial products, including savings and investment accounts.
Therefore, staying informed about the prevailing interest rate environment and understanding how it may influence your APY is crucial for making sound financial decisions and optimizing your savings strategy to determine the best option that aligns with your specific needs.
When will my Mighty Oak Card arrive?
Most cards arrive within 9-11 business days after ordering. If demand is unusually high, customers may experience a delay. Please log into your Acorns app and head to the banking section for more details on how your card is tracking.
Although you may experience a delay in receiving your debit card, we want to provide you with ways that your Mighty Oak account is working for you and how it can be leveraged:

You can also set up direct deposit and take advantage of the our Paycheck split feature to automatically save and invest your money with every direct deposit. Additionally, for the first time ever, Mightly Oak account holders who set up a direct deposit of $250 or more per calendar month into their Acorns Checking account will receive a subscription fee waiver for as long as they have direct deposit set up.
