Acorns Early is a digital financial platform and debit card for children aged 6-18 that combines money management tools with financial education. The product offers a custodial investment account (UGMA/UTMA) with a 1% match on invested funds, a debit card for hands-on spending and earning management, chore-tracking features, savings goals, and bite-sized financial literacy lessons. Originally founded as GoHenry in 2012, the platform was acquired by Acorns in April 2023, expanding Acorns' family-focused financial wellness offerings across the United States and Europe.
