Retirement Reimagined: SoFi Invest Matches 1% of Eligible IRA Contributions

SoFi is determined to help you get your money right, now and in the future. To help you reach your retirement goals faster, SoFi Invest¹ is reimagining IRAs by offering a 1% IRA Match on all eligible contributions². That means you’ll get a match of 1% on every eligible dollar contributed (no employer plan needed!).

SoFi knows everyone’s needs and goals are different, so by matching your IRA contributions, we’re helping you achieve those goals whether you already have an employer retirement plan, are self-employed or have specific investment preferences. We know retirement planning can feel intimidating or imagining your own retirement can feel impossible, and this is just one way we’re helping you along your journey to financial independence.

What Is an IRA?

An individual retirement account, or IRA, is a savings account that is used to put away money for retirement, potentially grow funds through investment, and often get tax breaks. There are different types of IRAs, but the most common are:

•  A traditional IRA, where your investments have the opportunity to grow tax-deferred with before-tax and after-tax          contributions. 

•  A Roth IRA, which offers tax-free growth potential on after-tax contributions.

Each year the IRS sets a maximum amount that you can contribute across all of your IRAs, (including those outside of SoFi). For 2023, the contribution limit is $6,500 for people under age 50, and $7,500 for people age 50 and over. 

Why an IRA?

When it comes to retirement planning, IRAs have long been popular as you can invest in a range of assets which can lead to faster growth than a regular savings account. 

With your IRA, you can be as conservative or aggressive as you want when choosing your investments, depending on your risk tolerance and goals. 

What dollars are eligible for the 1% match?

You can earn the IRA Match on all new IRA contributions from outside accounts. Additionally, only new contributions through ACH will be eligible as well. 

Going for your goals

The SoFi Midyear Investor Report³ found that more than half of investors report feeling they haven’t invested enough at this point in their lives. Specifically, Gen X’ers feel the most underinvested, followed by Millennials and Gen Z. 

Potentially adding onto that anxiety, two-thirds of investors believe we are currently in a recession, with younger investors far more likely to hold this belief. Of those investors that don’t think we’re in a recession yet, nearly half don’t think we’ll enter recession in the next 18 months, while a quarter believe we’ll be in one by this time next year.

With investors feeling anxious around their investment totals so far and the economic landscape, SoFi Invest offering a 1% match on IRA contributions can make starting planning for  investment goals and retirement less intimidating by helping bolster accounts to empower you to reach your financial goals.
