Acorns Affiliate Program

Acorns is the micro investing app that rounds up card purchases and invests the change, with retirement accounts, a checking account, kids' accounts and a rewards program on top. It is aimed squarely at beginners and young adults, has millions of subscribers and is one of the most searched investing apps in the US.

The affiliate program runs on Impact, with a version on FlexOffers, and pays small flat bounties: $5 for every linked account and $10 for every verified submission, with higher amounts during promotions. The cookie is 30 days. Applications are reviewed, and Acorns supplies compliant creative and links. Payouts follow Impact's monthly schedule.

The bounties are modest because Acorns' subscription is modest, so this is a volume program for sites with large beginner audiences rather than a high ticket one.

Acorns converts from investing apps for beginners roundups, how to start investing with little money guides, round up app comparisons, college student finance content and family money tutorials that mention Acorns Early. Because the app requires only a few dollars to begin, the barrier is low and conversion from tutorial content is strong. Pair it with Betterment or SoFi in comparisons to cover readers with more to invest.
