About

Acorns Early (formerly GoHenry) is a financial education app and debit card designed for children ages 6–18. It lets kids earn allowances, track chores, set savings goals, and spend with a Visa debit card while parents maintain real-time controls and spending limits. The platform also includes an optional custodial investment account with a 1% match on contributions up to $7,000 per year.

Problem

Kids lack practical financial education and tools to learn earning, saving, and spending in real life.

For

Parents of children ages 6–18 who want to teach kids financial literacy

How it works

Parents set up the app with chores, allowances, and spending controls while kids use a Visa debit card and in-app lessons to learn money management hands-on.
