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 1/31/26.

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.

²$1,000 Value of SoFi Plus membership: The value of a SoFi Plus membership varies depending on benefits used, and there is no guarantee you will reach or receive any specific value. $1,000+ estimated value is based on (i) the average activity of existing SoFi Plus members for the following benefits over a 12-month period and (ii) publicly available Urban Institute’s American Affordability Tracker data regarding average annual grocery spending used to estimate potential Smart Card cash back rewards: an estimated $600 in annual cash back rewards at grocery stores with SoFi Smart Card (estimated earnings based on 5% cash back rewards on grocery store purchases and the average monthly grocery spend for a family of four, as reported in the Urban Institute’s American Affordability Tracker, released October 2025.

⁴10% Boost on Cash Back Rewards Points for SoFi Credit Card Purchases:

SoFi Plus members are eligible for a 10% boost on cash back rewards rates for all eligible purchases made with a SoFi Credit Card (the “Promotion”). For complete SoFi Plus eligibility, please see the SoFi Plus terms.

A 10% boost means that a 10% multiplier shall be applied to existing cash back rewards rates (e.g., a purchase previously earning 100 rewards points would now earn 110 with the promotion). For purposes of calculating the 10% boost on cash back rewards points, each transaction shall be rounded to the nearest dollar, and fractional points shall be rounded to the nearest whole point. The 10% boost shall not apply to (i) transactions that are not eligible for cash back rewards points, including: fees or interest charges, balance transfers or cash advances, purchase of traveler’s checks or other cash equivalents, purchase or reloading of prepaid cards, or other quasi-cash transactions; or (ii) courtesy rewards points that are manually awarded. SoFi shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether a transaction is eligible to earn the 10% boost under this Promotion.

Members must enroll in SoFi Member Rewards to redeem rewards points, but not to be eligible for the Promotion. Rewards points are subject to the SoFi Member Rewards terms.

All new and existing SoFi Credit Card members who meet the SoFi Plus eligibility criteria during the Promotion Period are eligible for this Promotion. SoFi Smart Card accounts are excluded from this Promotion. Offer limited to one per SoFi Checking and Savings account. A SoFi Credit Card account will only benefit from the 10% boost under this Promotion if the primary SoFi Credit Card account holder is a SoFi Plus member. SoFi reserves the right to exclude any member from participating in this Promotion for any reason, including suspected fraud, misuse, or if suspicious activities are observed.

Promotion Period: The Promotion will begin on 4/1/24 at 1:00 PM ET. SoFi reserves the right to terminate or make changes to this Promotion at any time.

⁵ 2x rewards points on qualifying activities:

SoFi Plus members can earn double the rewards points as stated in the “Ways to earn” section of the Membership & Rewards Center for qualifying earning activities. For complete SoFi Plus eligibility, please see the SoFi Plus terms.

Members can only earn 2x rewards points for periods in which the member meets the SoFi Plus eligibility criteria. The qualifying earning activities exclude the following: Credit or Debit card spend paid in rewards points, welcome bonuses paid in rewards points (including any referral bonuses paid in rewards points), and select promotions with bonuses paid in rewards points. The specific number of rewards points is subject to change at any time and can be found in the “Ways to earn” section of the Membership & Rewards Center.

⁶ Early access to direct deposit funds is based on the timing in which we receive notice of impending payment from the Federal Reserve, which is typically up to two days before the scheduled payment date, but may vary.

⁷ Overdraft Coverage is a feature automatically offered to SoFi Checking and Savings account holders who receive at least $1,000 or more in Eligible Direct Deposits within a rolling 31 calendar day period on a recurring basis. Eligible Direct Deposit is defined on the SoFi Bank Rate Sheet, available at https://www.sofi.com/legal/banking-rate-sheet. Members enrolled in Overdraft Coverage may be covered for up to $50 in negative balances on SoFi Bank debit card purchases only. Overdraft Coverage does not apply to P2P transfers, bill payments, checks, or other non-debit card transactions. Members with a prior history of unpaid negative balances are not eligible for Overdraft Coverage. Eligibility for Overdraft Coverage is determined by SoFi Bank in its sole discretion. Members can check their enrollment status, if eligible, at any time by logging into their account through the SoFi app or on the SoFi website.

⁸ Annual percentage yield (APY) is variable and subject to change at any time. Rates are current as of 11/12/25. There is no minimum balance requirement. Fees may reduce earnings. Additional rates and information can be found at https://www.sofi.com/legal/banking-rate-sheet

Eligible Direct Deposit means a recurring deposit of regular income to an account holder’s SoFi Checking or Savings account, including payroll, pension, or government benefit payments (e.g., Social Security), made by the account holder’s employer, payroll or benefits provider or government agency (“Eligible Direct Deposit”) via the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Network every 31 calendar days.

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. To ensure you're earning the APY for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit, we encourage you to check your APY Details page the day after your Eligible Direct Deposit posts to your SoFi account. If your APY is not showing as the APY for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit, contact us at 855-456-7634 with the details of your Eligible Direct Deposit. As long as SoFi Bank can validate those details, you will start earning the APY for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit from the date you contact SoFi for the next 31 calendar days. You will also be eligible for the APY for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit on future Eligible Direct Deposits, as long as SoFi Bank can validate them.

Deposits that are not from an employer, payroll, or benefits provider or government agency, including but not limited to check deposits, peer-to-peer transfers (e.g., transfers from PayPal, Venmo, Wise, etc.), merchant transactions (e.g., transactions from PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.), and bank ACH funds transfers and wire transfers from external accounts, or are non-recurring in nature (e.g., IRS tax refunds), do not constitute Eligible Direct Deposit activity. There is no minimum Eligible Direct Deposit amount required to qualify for the stated interest rate. SoFi Bank shall, in its sole discretion, assess each account holder's Eligible Direct Deposit activity to determine the applicability of rates and may request additional documentation for verification of eligibility.
