Subject: Ron, please read this change to your subscription payment

Dear Ron,
Thank you for choosing Acorns to help you save and invest every day. To continue growing our technology, business, and team for you, our $1 subscription fee tier, Acorns Lite, will no longer be available as of September 21. At that time, you will be automatically upgraded to Acorns Personal, and your subscription fee will be $3 per month, billed on your regular billing date.

You do not need to take any action, but if you are experiencing economic hardship and need to stick with the $1 per month tier, simply click here by September 21. Enter this email address where you see the prompt, and we will honor your request.

We don't take these decisions lightly, and want you to understand how we came to this one.

First, since 2014, we have not changed the price of our $1 per month subscription tier. We've grown the technology, security, team, and product, so it costs more to operate and we've carried that cost. But that's not sustainable.

Second, this change aims to create revenue that we can reinvest in Acorns, so we can bring you and everyone more tools of wealth-making.

Finally, the majority of our new customers are choosing the Acorns Personal or Family tiers, so we believe these tiers are providing more of the services that people want.
