Acorns Mighty Oak Debit Card review

In November 2023, Acorns announced the introduction of a limited edition card that was created in partnership with Dwayne Johnson. The Mighty Oak Debit Card serves as a banking tool that allows customers to take advantage of a checking account that has an APY, to grow their money faster.

Johnson says The Acorns Mighty Oak Debit Card, available as of November 14, 2023, offers customers the opportunity to follow his lead into turning small investments into big returns.

"I've been there, and know what it's like to count every dollar and save every cent possible to provide for my family and myself," said Johnson in a press release. "I wish I had the Mighty Oak card back in the struggling and fun days when I had only $7 bucks in my pocket, which is why I helped create this card now to empower people to take control of their financial well-being. One step at a time."

"Dwayne proved it with $7 and we know from tiny acorns, mighty oaks do grow," said Noah Kerner, CEO of Acorns. "Our mission is to look after the financial best interests of everyday people, and the Mighty Oak Card, at these rates, does that and much more."

Acorns Mighty Oak Debit Card offers a host of neat features that make passive investing easy.

Features

The Acorns Mighty Oak Debit Card is a heavy, metal card that comes with your signature laser engraved. But aside from the aesthetics and feel of a solid card, the investment features make it a solid way to build your investments and grow your money, including:

  • 3.00% checking APY, 4.52% APY on the card's Emergency Fund savings for 'rainy days' - with no minimum deposit or balance requirement
  • Real-Time Round Ups, allowing you to automatically invest your spare change every time you swipe your card
