SoFi Turns HQ Trivia Losers Into Winners (and Investors) with #SoMoneyEntry



“Losing doesn’t make any cents. ” – A popular quiz show host

We here at SoFi couldn’t agree more—which is why we’re turning some HQ Trivia losers into winners this week. SoFi is on a mission to help people reach their financial goals, faster. To get you motivated in 2018, we’re giving up to 200 HQ losers a second chance of winning every day for five days starting on February 12th.

Here’s what you could win from SoFi: $25 in a SoFi Invest account, and our So Money card game.

Wait—a personal finance company made a card game? Yes, it’s different. That’s because we’re different. SoFi is building a community to help foster more honest conversations around money. We want to make talking about it less awkward and—dare we say?—fun. (We never thought we’d say “fun” and “money” in the same sentence but, this game makes it happen.)

Speaking of different, SoFi Invest also has a fresh approach: It’s a modern investment management platform that allows U.S. customers to invest in automated portfolios made up of low-cost exchange-traded funds. There are no fees for the first $10,000 invested, and the rate is just 0.25% per year after that. Customers have access to live advisors who can recommend a mix of funds based on each individual’s age, income, assets and needs. And we waive all SoFi fees for borrowers.

Not interested in investing with SoFi? That’s okay. You can set up your account and cash out. But we hope you don’t, because we want to invest in you for the long term.
