Fastest Growing Investment App Acorns, is on Fire

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Acorns, the first app to help people save and invest in micro increments, today announced its launch on Amazon Fire Phone, expanding access beyond the App Store and Google Play. The company will demonstrate the app functionalities on-stage at this year's Money 20/20, the world's largest event for payments and financial services innovation. The improved reach and accessibility speaks to the company's ongoing commitment to help young people more conveniently save, invest and build wealth in the background of life.

"At Acorns, we're constantly seeking ways to enhance the user experience and find new ways to help younger generations jumpstart investing – something millennials have historically put off for later in life," said Jeff Cruttenden, cofounder and COO of Acorns. "We've emphasized a mobile-first approach to our platform and financial engine, and the Fire phone is a natural next step in making Acorns available to a wider audience."

In addition to launching on Amazon Fire, Acorns also recently enabled TouchID to help iPhone users easily gain access to their accounts with Apple's fingerprint recognition technology. The app is fully functional with iOS 8 and the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. 

To invest with Acorns, visit iTunes, Google Play, Amazon or Acorns.
