The updated terms clarify FDIC insurance protections for Acorns Checking depositors. The prior disclosure stated that Acorns Checking itself is not FDIC-insured; the updated language states that balances held with Lincoln Savings Bank or nbkc bank, including those in Acorns Checking accounts, are insured up to $250,000 per depositor through these member banks, with separate coverage for joint account owners. The updated terms preserve the disclosure that funds may be placed at other FDIC-insured depository institutions through a deposit network service. The revised ATM language specifies access to 'over 55,000 fee-free ATMs' rather than a general reference to the AllPoint Network.
