Giftlinks and Relative accounts
Friends & family can join your kids’ money journeys
Acorns Early makes it easy for everyone close to your kids to participate in their financial learning.
For Friends & Family
Make your kids’ days with Giftlinks and Relative accounts
Just like an e-gift card or voucher, Early “Giftlinks” let friends and family send money straight to your kids’ Acorns Early accounts — making gift-giving easier on everyone. Loved ones can also get special “Relative accounts” to send money to your kids whenever — not just on special occasions.
No hit-or-miss presents
Let kids and teens shop for the gift they really want.
Mark milestone moments
Share Giftlinks with anyone that wants to send money for gifts, birthday milestones, and more.
Free to gift
No fees for gifters to give, and no fees for your kids to receive.
Let relatives send money on the regular
Add friends and family as an Acorns Early Relative, and they’re all set to send money to your kid whenever they choose.
Adding Relatives is easy!
Invite friends and family directly from the Acorns Early app
Relatives can set up a transfer to your kid anytime
They can add a paperless card and personal message, so kids know what the money is for
Plus, Relatives can set the date they’d like their money delivered
