Variable rates from 5.99% APR to 9.99% APR with a 0.25% autopay discount and 0.25% direct deposit discount. Unless required to be lower to comply with applicable law, Variable Interest rates on 5-, 7-, and 10-year terms are capped at 8.95% APR; 15- and 20-year terms are capped at 9.95% APR. Your actual rate will be within the range of rates listed above and will depend on the term you select, evaluation of your creditworthiness, income, presence of a co-signer and a variety of other factors. Lowest rates reserved for the most creditworthy borrowers. For the SoFi variable-rate product, the variable interest rate for a given month is derived by adding a margin to the 30-day average SOFR index, published two business days preceding such calendar month, rounded up to the nearest one hundredth of one percent (0.01% or 0.0001). APRs for variable-rate loans may increase after origination if the SOFR index increases. The SoFi 0.25% autopay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make monthly principal and interest payments by an automatic monthly deduction from a savings or checking account. This benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a savings or checking account. The benefit lowers your interest rate but does not change the amount of your monthly payment. This benefit is suspended during periods of deferment and forbearance.

Minimum Credit Score: Not all applicants who meet SoFi’s minimum credit score requirements are approved for student loan refinancing. In addition to meeting SoFi’s minimum eligibility criteria, applicants must also meet other credit and underwriting requirements to qualify.
Student Loan Refinance Calculator: The estimated savings calculation is derived by taking the estimated lifetime cost or monthly payment amount of your existing student loan(s) minus the total estimated lifetime cost or monthly payment amount of a SoFi loan upon refinancing, based on the assumptions outlined below. SoFi’s savings methodology for student loan refinancing assumes that your current, non-SoFi loan(s) have 1) an interest rate of 7.100% (unless otherwise input by you); 2) an outstanding term of 10 years (unless otherwise input by you); and 3) an outstanding balance equal to your stated loan amount. The calculation also assumes that your SoFi refinance loan 1) has the rate (APR) and term you selected; 2) is paid on-time for the duration of the refinanced term with no pre-payment amounts; and 3) has the AutoPay discount, which lowers the APR of your loan by 0.25%. Your actual savings may vary based on interest rates, balances, remaining repayment term and other factors. The estimated savings amount is not representative of your current situation or qualifications and is not a commitment to lend. Though refinancing to a longer term helps to achieve monthly savings, borrowers generally pay more in total interest over the life of the loan.

Late Fees:
Hold up. Just because we don’t charge late fees, we want to make sure you know—by paying after your bill’s due date, paying less than the minimum due, or even missing payments, means you’ll accumulate more interest and your final payment will be larger as a result. And you wouldn’t want that. Payments that are not made in full or on time may result an event of default under your Loan Agreement. And you don’t want that either. Late payments, partial payments, missed payments, or defaults on your loan may be reflected on your credit report. Nobody anywhere wants that. Nope nope nope.

Additional Explanatory Notes and Disclosures Related to Performance:
General:
SoFi Wealth, LLC (“SoFi Wealth”) is an SEC registered Investment Adviser. Information pertaining to SoFi Wealth’s advisory operations, services, and fees is set forth in SoFi Wealth’s current Form ADV Part 2 (Brochure).
The material in this presentation is based on information from a variety of sources we consider reliable, but we do not represent that the information is accurate or complete. The material provided herein is for informational purposes only. SoFi Wealth does not provide tax advice to its clients. All investors are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding any potential investment.
This content is not intended to be used as a general guide to investing, or as a source of any specific investment recommendations, and makes no implied or express recommendations concerning the manner in which any client’s account should or would be handled, as appropriate strategies depend upon the client’s specific circumstances and investment objectives. The presentation of performance is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
SoFi Indices:
SoFi Wealth constructed the indices presented using a series of widely used total return asset class-specific indexes that follow a set of rules of ownership that are typically held constant regardless of market conditions and that are generally representative of holdings currently maintained in the SoFi Wealth model portfolios. An important characteristic of an index fund is that its rules of ownership are not based on a forecast of short-term events. Therefore, an investment strategy that is limited to the buying and rebalancing of a portfolio of index funds is often referred to as passive investing, as opposed to active investing. Simulated index data is based on a combination of performance of widely used total return asset class-specific indexes and subjective judgement taking into account the current economic environment.
Performance results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and monthly rebalancing at the end of each month. The monthly return is calculated with the assumption that the SoFi index is perfectly in balance at the end of each month. In actual SoFi portfolios, rebalancing occurs at no set time, and such actions are dependent on both market conditions and individual client liquidity inflows and outflows, along with the cost impact of such transactions on the overall portfolio.
The performance of the SoFi indices excludes the impact of fees. ETF’s used in an investment portfolio generally do not minimize tax liabilities from short and long-term capital gains and any potential resulting tax liability is not deducted from performance results. SoFi Wealth does not charge transaction fees, but management fees and other custody related expenses may apply and are not reflected, which reduce returns.
The underlying holdings of the portfolio are not federally or FDIC-insured and are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any financial institution. Investing in securities involves investment risks including possible loss of principal and fluctuation in value.
No taxes are taken into account—chart assumes the account used to invest is a taxable account that is an ongoing concern throughout the period presented.
Monte Carlo Simulation:
The hypothetical illustrations rely upon a Monte Carlo simulation which provides thousands of future states of the given investment strategy. The inputs to this simulation are the forecasted expected return of each investment strategy along with the anticipated standard deviation of the investment strategy. The expected return assumptions are based on SoFi Wealth’s Investment Committee’s view on the macroeconomic environment, historical returns, and forward-looking views and assumptions. Expected standard deviation is approximated by analyzing the backtest of the hypothetical returns of the current allocations in each given investment strategy over the most recent 10-year period, and any forward-looking views and assumptions. Allocations are assumed constant over the course of the entire simulation and assumed to be rebalanced on a monthly basis. No trading costs or taxes are incorporated into the simulation.
These assumptions materially impact the simulations and may change from time to time at the discretion of the Investment Committee. No assurances can be made that the assumptions will prove to be accurate. There are many variables that can affect an investment performance forecast. The most volatile variable is the expected investment returns, which, historically, vary on a daily basis. Even with this knowledge, most financial projections use constant investment rates over the period of the analysis. The use of these averages is used as a start for the planning process, since the actual values are unknown. Unfortunately, however, this type of analysis illustrates only one outcome, thereby requiring that simulation be used to imitate real-life situations. In order to produce meaningful results, these simulations are processed many times. By varying the rates of return to simulate the fluctuations that can be experienced in the marketplace, a more realistic reflection of the anticipated ups and downs of the investment environment is presented.
These multiple simulations produce a range of results. These results are then analyzed and probabilities are associated with the outcome. Due to the random nature in which the simulations are generated and the regular updating of historical asset class data, the results may vary with each use and over time, even if the underlying assumptions are not changed.
Important: The projections or other information generated by Monte Carlo simulations regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. An investment cannot be made directly into a Monte Carlo simulation. There are limitations in using a Monte Carlo simulation, including the analysis is only as good as the assumptions, and despite modeling for a range of uncertainties in the future, it does not eliminate uncertainty.
The results can be presented various ways, but the ultimate goal of a Monte Carlo simulation is to educate and communicate about the uncertainty of the future, so you can make educated decisions about your specific situations.
Key Assumptions:
Strategy | Return | Volatility |
---|---|---|
Aggressive | 6.4% | 15.2% |
Moderately Aggressive | 5.6% | 12.2% |
Moderate | 4.8% | 9.2% |
Moderately Conservative | 3.5% | 5.2% |
Conservative | 2.3% | 3.4% |
Risks:
All investments are subject to risk, which should be considered prior to making and investment decisions.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs are open-end investment companies, unit investment trusts or depository receipts that hold portfolios of stocks, bonds, commodities and/or currencies that commonly are designed, before expenses, to closely track the performance and dividend yield of (i) a specific index, (ii) a basket of securities, commodities or currencies, or (iii) a particular commodity or currency. The types of indices commonly sought to be replicated by ETFs most often include domestic equity indices, fixed income indices, sector indices and foreign or international indices. ETF shares are traded on exchanges and are traded and priced throughout the trading day. ETFs permit an investor to purchase a selling interest in a portfolio of stocks throughout the trading day. Because ETFs trade on an exchange, they may not trade at NAV. Sometimes, the prices of ETFs may vary significantly from the NAVs of the ETFs’ underlying securities. Additionally, if an investor decides to redeem ETF shares rather than selling them on a secondary market, the investor may receive the underlying securities which must be sold in order to obtain cash.
Equity:
Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and mutual funds that invest in these securities. Equity markets can be volatile. Stock prices rise and fall based on changes in an individual company’s financial condition and overall market conditions. Stock prices can decline significantly in response to adverse market conditions, company-specific events, and other domestic and international political and economic developments.
Extended Hours Trading:
Extended hours trading means trading outside of regular trading hours (9:30am to 4:00 pm EST)
Please review SoFi’s Extended Hours Trading Risk Disclosure for more information.
Fixed Income:
Fixed income securities include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, other debt instruments and mutual funds that invest in these securities. Issuers generally pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity. Some debt instruments, such as zero-coupon bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from their face value. Prices of fixed income securities generally decline when interest rates rise, and rise when interest rates fall. Longer-term debt and zero-coupon bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes than debt instruments with shorter maturities.
Fixed income securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the chance that an issuer will fail to pay interest or principal on time. Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs). These NRSROs assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Changes in the credit strength of an issuer may reduce the credit rating of its debt investments and may affect their value. High-quality debt instruments are rated at least AA or its equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments of equivalent quality. Issuers of high-grade debt instruments are considered to have a very strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Investment grade debt instruments are rated at least Baa or its equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments of equivalent quality. Baa rated securities are considered to have adequate capacity to pay principal and interest, although they also have speculative characteristics. Lower rated debt securities are more likely to be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions than higher rated debt securities.
U.S. Government securities include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury; issued by a U.S. Government agency; or issued by a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE). U.S. Treasury securities include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, (i.e., Treasury bills, notes and bonds). U.S. Government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury (such as securities of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae)). GSE bonds are issued by certain federally-chartered but privately-owned corporations, but are neither direct obligations of, nor backed by the full faith and credit of, the U.S. Government. GSE bonds include: bonds issued by Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB), Federal Farm Credit Banks (FCS), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae).
International Securities:
International investments involve additional risks you should be aware of, which include differences in financial accounting standards, currency fluctuations, political instability, foreign taxes and regulations, news that can trigger volatile conditions, and the potential for illiquid markets. Small cap companies in these markets may react with greater volatility in reaction to activities in those markets. It is more difficult to obtain reliable information about some foreign securities. The costs of investing in some foreign markets may be higher than investing in domestic markets. Investments in foreign securities also are subject to currency fluctuations.

Asset Class
Asset Class is a standard term that broadly defines a category of investments. The three basic asset classes are Cash, Bonds (fixed income), and Stocks (equity). Bonds and Stocks are often further subdivided into more narrowly defined classes. Some of the most common asset classes are defined below.
Cash and Cash Alternatives
Cash typically includes bank accounts or certificates of deposit, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit per account. Cash Alternatives typically include money market securities, U.S. Treasury Bills, and other investments that are readily convertible to cash, have a stable market value, and a very short-term maturity. U.S. Treasury Bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and, when held to maturity, provide safety of principal. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in cash alternatives.)
Bonds
Bonds are either domestic (U.S.) or global debt securities issued by either private corporations or governments. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in bonds. Bonds are also called “fixed income securities.”)
/
Domestic government bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and have superior liquidity and, when held to maturity, safety of principal. Domestic corporate bonds carry the credit risk of their issuers and thus usually offer additional yield. Domestic government and corporate bonds can be sub-divided based upon their term to maturity. Short-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity of 1 to 5 years; intermediate-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity of 5 to 10 years; and, long-term bonds have an approximate term to maturity greater than 10 years.
Stocks
Stocks are equity securities of domestic and foreign corporations. (See the “Risks Inherent in Investing” section in this Important Disclosure Information for a summary of the risks associated with investing in stocks.)
Domestic stocks are equity securities of U.S. corporations. Domestic stocks are often sub-divided based upon the market capitalization of the company (the market value of the company’s stock). “Large cap” stocks are from larger companies, “mid cap” from the middle range of companies, and “small cap” from smaller, perhaps newer, companies. Generally, small cap stocks experience greater market volatility than stocks of companies with larger capitalization. Small cap stocks are generally those from companies whose capitalization is less than $500 million, mid cap stocks those between $500 million and $5 billion, and large cap over $5 billion.
Large cap, mid cap and small cap may be further sub-divided into “growth” and “value” categories. Growth companies are those with an orientation towards growth, often characterized by commonly used metrics such as higher price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios. Analogously, value companies are those with an orientation towards value, often characterized by commonly used metrics such as lower price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios.
International stocks are equity securities from foreign corporations. International stocks are often sub-divided into those from “developed” countries and those from “emerging markets”. The emerging markets are in less developed countries with emerging economies that may be characterized by lower income per capita, less developed infrastructure and nascent capital markets. These “emerging markets” usually are less economically and politically stable than the “developed markets”.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs are open-end investment companies, unit investment trusts or depository receipts that hold portfolios of stocks, commodities and/or currencies that commonly are designed, before expenses, to closely track the performance and dividend yield of (i) a specific index, (ii) a basket of securities, commodities or currencies, or (iii) a particular commodity or currency. The types of indices commonly sought to be replicated by ETFs most often include domestic equity indices, fixed income indices, sector indices and foreign or international indices.

The following describes the terms that apply to participation in the SoFi Checking and Savings direct deposit promotion (the “Direct Deposit Promotion”) offered by SoFi Bank, N.A, Member FDIC (“SoFi”).
Eligible Participants: All new and existing members without any history of direct deposit transactions into their SoFi Checking and Savings account are eligible for the Direct Deposit Promotion. Members who previously enrolled in direct deposit into either SoFi Money or SoFi Checking and Savings, whether currently still enrolled or not, do not qualify for this Direct Deposit Promotion. Bonuses are limited to one per SoFi Checking and Savings account. In the case of a joint account, only the primary account holder (the member who signed up first) is eligible for a bonus. Member must have an open SoFi Checking account in good standing at the time of the bonus payment.
Promotion Period: The Direct Deposit Promotion will begin on 12/7/2023 at 12:01AM ET and end on 12/31/24 at 11:59PM ET.
Bonus Terms: In order to qualify for eligibility for a bonus, SoFi must receive at least one Direct Deposit (as defined below) from an Eligible Participant, the first of which must be before the end of the Promotion Period. Direct Deposit means a recurring deposit of regular income to an account holder’s SoFi Checking or Savings account, including payroll, pension, or government benefit payments (e.g., Social Security), made by the account holder’s employer, payroll or benefits provider or government agency (“Direct Deposit”) via the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Network. Deposits that are not from an employer or government agency, including but not limited to check deposits, peer-to-peer transfers (e.g., transfers from PayPal, Venmo, etc.), merchant transactions (e.g., transactions from PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.), and bank ACH funds transfers and wire transfers from external accounts, or are non-recurring in nature (e.g. IRS tax refunds), do not constitute Direct Deposit activity. SoFi Bank shall, in its sole discretion, assess each account holder’s Direct Deposit activity to determine eligibility and may require additional documentation to complete this verification. The amount of the bonus, if any, will be calculated during the Direct Deposit Bonus Period as described and defined below.
Direct Deposit Bonus Period: The Direct Deposit Bonus Period begins when SoFi receives a Direct Deposit of $1 or more within the Promotion Period and ends 25 calendar days later (the “Direct Deposit Bonus Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Direct Deposit Bonus Period shall not extend beyond the Promotion Period. The bonus amount will vary based on the total amount of Direct Deposits received during the Direct Deposit Bonus Period. Once the Direct Deposit Bonus Period has elapsed, SoFi will determine if you have met the offer requirements and will deposit any earned bonus into your checking account within seven (7) business days. For example, if SoFi receives between $1,000.00 and $4,999.99 in Direct Deposits during the Direct Deposit Bonus Period, you will receive a one-time cash bonus of $50. A member may only qualify for one bonus tier and will not be eligible for future bonus payments if Direct Deposits subsequently increase after the Direct Deposit Bonus Period.
Total Direct Deposit Amount in Direct Deposit Bonus Period | Cash Bonus Tier |
---|---|
$1.00 - $999.99 | $0 |
$1,000.00 - $4,999.99 | $50 |
$5,000.00 or more | $300 |
Bonus Payment Timeline: SoFi will credit members who meet qualification criteria within seven (7) business days of the end of the Direct Deposit Bonus Period.
Bonuses are considered miscellaneous income and may be reportable to the IRS on Form 1099-MISC (or Form 1042-S, if applicable). SoFi reserves the right to exclude any Members from participating in the Direct Deposit Promotion for any reason, including suspected fraud, misuse, or if suspicious activities are observed. SoFi also reserves the right to stop or change the Direct Deposit Promotion at any time.
SoFi members with Direct Deposit can earn 4.20% annual percentage yield (APY) on savings balances (including Vaults) and 0.50% APY on checking balances. There is no minimum Direct Deposit amount required to qualify for the 4.20% APY for savings (including Vaults). Members without Direct Deposit will earn 1.20% APY on savings balances (including Vaults) and 0.50% APY on checking balances. Interest rates are variable and subject to change at any time. These rates are current as of 10/31/2024. There is no minimum balance requirement. Additional information can be found at http://www.sofi.com/legal/banking-rate-sheet.

SoFi members with direct deposit activity can earn 4.20% annual percentage yield (APY) on savings balances (including Vaults) and 0.50% APY on checking balances. Direct Deposit means a recurring deposit of regular income to an account holder’s SoFi Checking or Savings account, including payroll, pension, or government benefit payments (e.g., Social Security), made by the account holder’s employer, payroll or benefits provider or government agency (“Direct Deposit”) via the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Network during a 30-day Evaluation Period (as defined below). Deposits that are not from an employer or government agency, including but not limited to check deposits, peer-to-peer transfers (e.g., transfers from PayPal, Venmo, etc.), merchant transactions (e.g., transactions from PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.), and bank ACH funds transfers and wire transfers from external accounts, or are non-recurring in nature (e.g., IRS tax refunds), do not constitute Direct Deposit activity. There is no minimum Direct Deposit amount required to qualify for the stated interest rate. SoFi members with direct deposit are eligible for other SoFi Plus benefits.
As an alternative to direct deposit, SoFi members with Qualifying Deposits can earn 4.20% APY on savings balances (including Vaults) and 0.50% APY on checking balances. Qualifying Deposits means one or more deposits that, in the aggregate, are equal to or greater than $5,000 to an account holder’s SoFi Checking and Savings account (“Qualifying Deposits”) during a 30-day Evaluation Period (as defined below). Qualifying Deposits only include those deposits from the following eligible sources: (i) ACH transfers, (ii) inbound wire transfers, (iii) peer-to-peer transfers (i.e., external transfers from PayPal, Venmo, etc. and internal peer-to-peer transfers from a SoFi account belonging to another account holder), (iv) check deposits, (v) instant funding to your SoFi Bank Debit Card, (vi) push payments to your SoFi Bank Debit Card, and (vii) cash deposits. Qualifying Deposits do not include: (i) transfers between an account holder’s Checking account, Savings account, and/or Vaults; (ii) interest payments; (iii) bonuses issued by SoFi Bank or its affiliates; or (iv) credits, reversals, and refunds from SoFi Bank, N.A. (“SoFi Bank”) or from a merchant. SoFi members with Qualifying Deposits are not eligible for other SoFi Plus benefits.
SoFi Bank shall, in its sole discretion, assess each account holder’s Direct Deposit activity and Qualifying Deposits throughout each 30-Day Evaluation Period to determine the applicability of rates and may request additional documentation for verification of eligibility. The 30-Day Evaluation Period refers to the “Start Date” and “End Date” set forth on the APY Details page of your account, which comprises a period of 30 calendar days (the “30-Day Evaluation Period”). You can access the APY Details page at any time by logging into your SoFi account on the SoFi mobile app or SoFi website and selecting either (i) Banking > Savings > Current APY or (ii) Banking > Checking > Current APY. Upon receiving a Direct Deposit or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits to your account, you will begin earning 4.20% APY on savings balances (including Vaults) and 0.50% on checking balances on or before the following calendar day. You will continue to earn these APYs for (i) the remainder of the current 30-Day Evaluation Period and through the end of the subsequent 30-Day Evaluation Period and (ii) any following 30-day Evaluation Periods during which SoFi Bank determines you to have Direct Deposit activity or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits without interruption.
SoFi Bank reserves the right to grant a grace period to account holders following a change in Direct Deposit activity or Qualifying Deposits activity before adjusting rates. If SoFi Bank grants you a grace period, the dates for such grace period will be reflected on the APY Details page of your account. If SoFi Bank determines that you did not have Direct Deposit activity or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits during the current 30-day Evaluation Period and, if applicable, the grace period, then you will begin earning the rates earned by account holders without either Direct Deposit or Qualifying Deposits until you have Direct Deposit activity or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits in a subsequent 30-Day Evaluation Period. For the avoidance of doubt, an account holder with both Direct Deposit activity and Qualifying Deposits will earn the rates earned by account holders with Direct Deposit.
Members without either Direct Deposit activity or Qualifying Deposits, as determined by SoFi Bank, during a 30-Day Evaluation Period and, if applicable, the grace period, will earn 1.20% APY on savings balances (including Vaults) and 0.50% APY on checking balances.
Interest rates are variable and subject to change at any time. These rates are current as of 10/31/2024. There is no minimum balance requirement. Additional information can be found at http://www.sofi.com/legal/banking-rate-sheet.

SoFi Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates, including Social Finance, LLC, SoFi Bank, N.A., SoFi Lending Corp, Sofi Securities LLC, SoFi Wealth LLC and SoFi Capital Advisors, LLC, is committed to providing continuous, quality service to our members and maintains a business continuity plan in order to minimize customer impact in the event of a business disruption. In the event of a significant business disruption, SoFi uses our business continuity management program to prioritize the recovery of critical business and technology functions. We accomplish this by: 1) re-routing service activities to available locations across the country; 2) relocating impacted businesses to recovery locations, as needed; 3) designing our technology and systems to support the recovery processes for critical business functions; 4) designating a crisis management team and recovery leaders responsible for activating and executing on the business continuity plan; and 5) adopting a communication plan to ensure that relevant updates are provided to our employees, customers, regulators and other key stakeholders.
While no contingency plan can eliminate all risk of a business interruption, SoFi has taken significant steps to develop and implement sound recovery plans. SoFi tests its plans on a regular basis and requires updates and approvals of the plans on at least an annual basis.
