We heard from our Members that your finances can be a significant source of stress, so with SoFi Plus our goal is to offer our Members more control and peace of mind over their finances.

What is SoFi Plus?
SoFi Plus is our first-ever premium membership product, intended to ensure members get the most out of their money at every turn. We created SoFi Plus based on feedback from our Members on where you wanted more support from SoFi to meet your financial goals, and we took those ideas to inspire a membership program as unique as our one-of-a-kind Rewards Program.

SoFi Plus is designed to act as an easy upgrade to your whole financial operating system, unlocking premium benefits that give you a boost on your journey to financial independence. SoFi Plus provides you the best value for using all of SoFi’s products and services together, giving you peace of mind that you can turn to SoFi for all of your financial needs.

What Benefits Are Included in SoFi Plus?
SoFi Plus members will have access to the best benefits across all of SoFi’s products and services, delivering added value across all of SoFi’s product lines. The current benefits include a 3.25% APY on savings accounts (13x the national average savings account rate)³ and a 2.50% APY (Annual Percentage Yield) on checking accounts with SoFi Checking and Savings¹’ ⁴ accounts (62x the national checking average⁵), our highest APY offered, as well as double the rewards points on qualifying activities⁶ (such as activating a debit card, maintaining a 7-day login streak to the SoFi app and linking external accounts to SoFi Relay⁷), preferred access buying into IPOs⁸’ ⁹, up to 2-day early paychecks¹⁰, discounted personal loan rates¹¹ and no-fee Overdraft Coverage¹². Every benefit we have included is designed to make saving and managing your money easier than ever and getting you more for your hard-earned cash.

Members will enjoy these features alongside all the fantastic benefits already available to SoFi members, including complimentary access to Certified Financial Planners¹³, access to career counselors, extensive educational resources, as well as online and in-person member-only events.

How Can I Get SoFi Plus?
To unlock SoFi Plus, members only need to set up and maintain a qualifying monthly direct deposit to SoFi Checking and Savings. Once your direct deposit posts to your account, and you are officially a SoFi Plus member, you will get an email notification. You will also see a SoFi Plus badge next to your name in the app. It typically takes 2-4 weeks for direct deposit to hit members’ accounts.

SoFi Plus is rolling out to all members over the coming weeks, so keep a close eye on the app and your email for notification you’re eligible to enroll! If you have not done so already, get a SoFi Checking and Savings account and set up a direct deposit to make sure you get early access to SoFi Plus. Sign up here!

9. Investing in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) involves substantial risk, including the risk of loss. Further, there are a variety of risk factors to consider when investing in an IPO, including but not limited to, unproven management, significant debt, and lack of operating history. For a comprehensive discussion of these risks please refer to SoFi Securities’ IPO Risk Disclosure Statement. IPOs offered through SoFi Securities are not a recommendation and investors should carefully read the offering prospectus to determine whether an offering is consistent with their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation.

New offerings generally have high demand and there are a limited number of shares available for distribution to participants. Many customers may not be allocated shares and share allocations may be significantly smaller than the shares requested in the customer’s initial offer (Indication of Interest). For SoFi’s allocation procedures please refer to IPO Allocation Procedures.
