Annual percentage yield (APY) is variable and subject to change at any time. Rates are current as of 12/23/25. There is no minimum balance requirement. Fees may reduce earnings. Additional rates and information can be found at http://www.sofi.com/legal/banking-rate-sheet.
SoFi Bank assesses Eligible Direct Deposit or Qualifying Deposits based on a rolling 31-calendar day period and may request additional information for verification of eligibility. A rolling 31-calendar day period means that each time you receive an Eligible Direct Deposit or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits, a new 31-day period begins, during which you will earn the interest rates and APYs for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit or Qualifying Deposits. If you receive another Eligible Direct Deposit or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits during the current 31-day period, the period will reset, and a new 31-day period will begin from the date the criteria are met. You can view the end date of your current 31-day period, based on your most recent deposit activity, by visiting the APY details page within your account.
SoFi Bank reserves the right to grant a grace period to account holders following a change in Eligible Direct Deposit or Qualifying Deposit activity before adjusting interest rates and APYs. 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 Eligible Direct Deposit activity or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits within a rolling 31-day period, or did not pay the SoFi Plus Subscription Fee every 30 days, and, if applicable, the grace period, then you will begin earning the interest rates and APYs earned by members without Eligible Direct Deposit, $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits or SoFi Plus Paid Subscription.
As long as you receive an Eligible Direct Deposit or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits every 31 calendar days, or pay the SoFi Plus Subscription Fee every 30 calendar days, you will continue earning the interest rates and APYs earned by account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit, $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits or SoFi Plus Paid Subscription.

Who is eligible for a Direct Deposit Bonus?
New and existing SoFi members who have never set up direct deposit with SoFi are eligible for the Direct Deposit Bonus. Bonuses are limited to one bonus per SoFi member. In the case of a joint account, direct deposit activity will only be counted towards the primary account holder’s eligibility for the bonus (the primary account holder is the member who opened the joint account first).
How do I earn the Direct Deposit Bonus?
1. Set up your first Eligible Direct Deposit. SoFi must receive it on or before 12/31/26.
2. Once SoFi receives and recognizes your first Eligible Direct Deposit, we will add up the Total Eligible Direct Deposits received over the next 25 calendar days. This total will determine the bonus amount.
| Total Eligible Direct Deposit | Bonus Amount | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| $1.00 - $999.99 | $0 | To determine your bonus amount, SoFi will add up all your Eligible Direct Deposits received within 25 calendar days of your first Eligible Direct Deposit. |
| $1,000.00 - $4,999.99 | $50 | |
| $5,000.00 or more | $300 |
3. You will receive the bonus amount in your SoFi Checking account within 7 business days of completing all requirements listed above. You are only eligible to receive one bonus amount. You must have an open SoFi Checking account in good standing at the time of the bonus payment.
What is an Eligible Direct Deposit?
Eligible: Recurring ACH deposit of regular income to your SoFi Checking or Savings account, including payroll, pension, or government benefit payments (e.g., Social Security), made by your employer, payroll or benefits provider or government agency (“Eligible Direct Deposit”)
Not Eligible Deposits that are not from an employer, payroll or benefits provider or government agency and deposits that are non-recurring in nature are not eligible. Examples of deposits that are not eligible include check deposits, peer-to-peer transfers (e.g., transfers from Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Wise, etc.), merchant transactions (e.g., transactions from PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.), bank ACH funds transfers, wire transfers from external accounts, and IRS tax refunds. SoFi Bank shall, in its sole discretion, assess your Eligible Direct Deposit activity to determine eligibility and may require additional documentation to complete this verification.
Although we do our best to recognize all Eligible Direct Deposits, a small number of employers, payroll providers, benefits providers, or government agencies do not designate payments as direct deposit. If you have satisfied the Eligible Direct Deposit requirements but have not received a cash bonus in your Checking account, please contact us at 855-456-7634 with the details of your initial Eligible Direct Deposit. After SoFi validates the details of your Eligible Direct Deposit, your Direct Deposit Bonus will be based on the date we received your initial Eligible Direct Deposit.
