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.
