CARD USAGE FEES

Along with an Acorn account, you will receive an Acorn Account Prepaid Debit MasterCard® Card for cash and retail transactions. Being a Debit MasterCard card means it is widely accepted at over 35 million locations worldwide, wherever you see the MasterCard Acceptance Mark.

We won’t charge you for using your card in the UK for any retail transactions. This means you can be safe in the knowledge that you won’t incur any transactional charges for using your card at a point of sale terminal. There is a charge of £1.50 per withdrawal at UK ATM machines.
