Acorns added a new promotional terms reference ('Acorns Research Promotion Terms and Conditions') to its table of linked documents on May 6, 2026. This appears to be a formatting or organizational update to the document structure rather than a substantive change to user rights, obligations, or protections. The mandatory arbitration clause and all core terms of service remain unchanged.
This change adds a reference to a new promotional terms document but does not materially alter any existing user rights, data practices, or account terms. The mandatory arbitration clause, class action waiver, and all other substantive provisions of the Acorns Terms of Service remain unchanged. No immediate consumer action is required.
While this change is procedurally minor, it reflects Acorns' ongoing promotional activity and signals that users accepting Acorns terms may be enrolled in or eligible for research promotion programs governed by separately published terms.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This change is a documentation or organizational update adding a cross-reference to promotional terms.
