"Acorns may terminate your access to the Services at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. Acorns shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Services.— Excerpt from Acorns's Acorns Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: For banking accounts, account termination without notice may conflict with Regulation E (12 C.F.R. § 1005.8) and state banking regulations requiring notice before account closure. For investment accounts, FINRA Rule 4311 and SEC regulations govern account transfers and closures. IRA accounts have specific IRS rules (IRC § 408) regarding fund transfer timing and rollover periods that an abrupt termination could implicate. CFPB supervisory guidance on account management practices also applies. (2)
