Acorns, an American financial technology and financial services company, completed the acquisition of Pillar, a student loan application. Financial terms were not disclosed. “We were in a pretty lucky position to have a lot of interest from many of the top fintech companies that are out there. We had multiple offers on the table and Acorns was really our top choice just given how the business has been doing and the team, the culture and the mission," Noah Kerner, Acorns CEO.
