Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with home improvement platform Kukun (pronounced “cocoon”) to offer the homeowners amongst you advanced new tools to help you gain a greater understanding of how much your home improvement project could cost and how it can affect the resale value of your home.

With Kukun and SoFi’s Home Improvement Cost Calculator, you can estimate the cost of over 28 project types, ranging in price from $10,000 up to $300,000, including renovations and expansions so you can accurately estimate your house renovation costs or remodeling costs.

A great way to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the infamous Equifax breach (September 7, 2017) is to take steps to protect yourself to keep your information secure.

First, the backstory: Equifax, a financial information company based in Atlanta, reported a cybersecurity incident that potentially affected 143 million U.S. consumers. Between May and June 2017 , criminals gained access to certain Equifax files through application vulnerability on a U.S. website.

The information exposed included social security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and drivers’ licenses. Approximately 209,000 credit card accounts for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers were also compromised. These accounts include dispute documents and personal identifying information. Even a year later, the cleanup continues .
