FAQs


How do I set up a recurring deposit to my SoFi Invest® account?
There are two ways to set up a recurring deposit:

1. Set up a weekly, biweekly, or monthly ACH transfer into your SoFi Invest® account. You can do this by adding cash to your Invest account and changing the frequency from “one-time, today” to recurring on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cadence.

2. If you have Autopilot through a SoFi Checking & Savings account from SoFi Bank, N.A, you can use it to set up a recurring deposit into your Automated Invest (SoFi Wealth, LLC ) account. Afterwards, click the “Set up Autopilot” button to start your recurring investment. Next, select the dollar amount or percentage you want to invest from each paycheck, and we’ll automatically transfer it into your new account.

Remember that deposits to your Active Invest (SoFi Securities, LLC) account aren’t automatically invested. You’ll need to make a trade for those funds to be invested in the market. However, deposits to your Automated Invest (SoFi Wealth, LLC) account will be traded automatically based on your pre-set investing strategy..




What accounts are eligible for a Recurring Deposit Match and how does it work?
You can earn a match on your recurring deposit into any SoFi Invest account type (automated or self-directed brokerage). This includes recurring contributions into your IRA up to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) contribution limit. Just remember the bonus is calculated on each settled recurring deposit via automated clearing house (ACH) transfer or instant cash transfer. ACH transfer limits do apply.


How will I receive my 1% match?

The 1% match is paid out in cash into the same account receiving the scheduled recurring deposit. For a limited time, some members may receive their bonus in the form of SoFi Rewards points instead of cash. The rewards points are equal in value to the cash and can be redeemed for their cash value. You can learn more about how to redeem your rewards points here.

Enrolling is simple:

1. Log in to your SoFi account
2. Once you’re logged in, select the gem icon above your account details
3. Select “Join for free”

And that’s it!

Please note that the points will expire within 90 days of earning them if you don’t enroll in the SoFi Member Rewards Program. For more details, please see the SoFi Member Rewards terms.



When will I be paid my 1% match?
The match will be paid out within 5 business days of the deposit being settled, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these terms.


Is there a penalty for withdrawing funds?
Yes, funds must remain in your SoFi Invest account for a period of five years to be eligible for the bonus. If your deposit is removed prior to the five year period, you will be subject to an early withdrawal fee and SoFi will remove a proportional amount of the bonus from the member’s account. The proportional amount is based on the breach in retention value. In the event of an ACAT transfer out, there will be an early withdrawal fee for the entire match amount.

Examples:

Scenario 1: If you deposit $1,000 into a SoFi Invest account, you’ll earn a $10 match. If you withdraw $600 less than 5 years from the deposit date, you’ll incur an early withdrawal fee of $5.94.

Scenario 2: If you deposit $1,000 into a SoFi Invest account, you’ll earn a $10 match. Your account balance then increases to $1,310 due to investment gains. If you withdraw $250 less than 5 years from the deposit date, you’ll incur an early withdrawal fee of $0 because your equity balance remains above the pre-promotion equity in the account, plus the qualifying deposit and match amount.

Scenario 3: If you deposit $1,000 into a SoFi Invest account, you’ll earn a $10 match. Your account balance then decreases to $950 due to investment losses. If you withdraw $250 less than 5 years from the deposit date, you’ll incur an early withdrawal fee of $3.07 because your equity balance fell below the pre-promotion equity in the account, plus the qualifying deposit and match amount.

Want to take matters into your own hands?
Here’s an email you can send to your HR team.

Subject Line: Here’s why offering student loan benefits is good for everyone.

Hi there,

Many of us have student loans today, over 43 million actually! It’s a big bill to pay each month. Some of us are now facing these bills again with the ending of the student loan repayment pause—and, to be totally transparent, it’s stressful. This kind of stress can show up at work in the form of distraction, depression, and decreased productivity.

I do have some great news, though. I recently discovered that SoFi can help employers offer student loan benefits to their employees. SoFi makes it easy to offer them and they’re tax free up to $5,250 per employee, per year. They can even help employees get ahead on their retirement with new provisions under the SECURE 2.0 Act.

SoFi’s 1,100+ partners are already offering student loan benefits and have seen them make a positive difference in their employees’ lives. These benefits are also helping them recruit and retain great employees. You can learn more at SoFiatWork.com, call 855-456-SOFI, or download this PDF.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

PL Payments FAQs


{/*FAQs*/}

Personal Loan Payment FAQs


How do I make a manual/one time payment?

You can schedule ACH payments from your SoFi account or contact SoFi to schedule the payment.

Monthly payments, additional payments, and payoffs can be made by check or ACH.


Where do I mail my payment to?

You can make payments online or send a check to:

SoFi Bank, National Association Personal Loan
PO Box 654158
Dallas, TX 75265-4158

We also have an overnight lockbox courier address available:

SoFi Bank, National Association Personal Loan
Attn: Lockbox Operations 654158
2701 East Grauwyler Rd., BLDG 1
Irving, TX 75061


Can I make a payment through your phone system (IVR)?

Yes! You can submit your loan payment using our automated phone system. Note that in order to make a payment using this system, be sure that you:

•Are able to authenticate your identity in the automated phone system
•Don’t have autopay enabled
•Have at least one saved payment method
•Are up-to-date on payments


How do I wire my payment?

J.P. Morgan Chase acts as the intermediary bank for wire payments. Here’s the info you need to wire a payment:

J.P. Morgan Chase
10410 Highland Manor Dr.
Floor 2, Tampa, FL 33610
Beneficiary Name: SLC Personal Loan Collections
Bank Name: J.P. Morgan Chase
ABA #: 021000021
Acct #: 352845058

For International wires that require a swift code, use: CHASUS33


Can I make an extra large payment this month so I don’t have to make a payment next month?

No, sorry. You can make a payment larger than what’s due, but your regular scheduled payment is due at the regular time next month. Any amount above the regularly scheduled payment will be applied first to any fees and charges, then to the accrued interest, with any remainder going to the principal balance of the loan. So any extra amount may help you pay off the loan faster!


Why is my payment taking so long to reflect on my account?

Payments generally take a few business days to reflect in your account.

In some cases the delay may be due to your bank mailing a physical check to us. While your bank withdraws the money the day the check is cut, we can’t apply the payment to your account until we receive the check.



Can I make a larger payment than what is due each month?

Of course! You’re welcome to make a larger payment than the current amount due, and can pay off your loan at any time via your SoFi account. There are no prepayment penalties. Please note that additional payments are applied first toward fees and accrued interest, then toward the principal balance of the loan.

Any additional payment or payment greater than your monthly amount due won’t change your regular payment schedule, so your regular payment will be due at the same time next month.



Can I lower my monthly payments?

Some members may qualify to refinance their current loan to a lower monthly payment.

To see if you qualify, log in to your Sofi account and select Loans at the top left of the screen. From there, choose Personal loans. Next, select What are my options with my current loan(s)? You’ll answer a few questions and, if you qualify for refinancing, you’ll get a list of pre-qualified offers.

For members that are experiencing financial hardship there may be additional options available. Please contact us and an agent will be able to provide more information on what options may be available to you.



Can I re-amortize my loan?

Yes! After large lump sum payments we may be able to re-amortize your loan. Please contact us and an agent will be happy to guide you through the re-amortization process.


Can I get a copy of my amortization schedule?

We recommend using one of the amortization schedule calculators available online. Just enter your remaining balance, the remaining term, and your current interest rate and you’ll be able to generate an amortization schedule.

You’ll find helpful information on loan amortization in this article.



How do I add/edit/remove/cancel the account linked to autopay?


Just log into your SoFi account and select Manage Autopay to update your information.

You can also contact us and we’ll be happy to guide you through the process or cancel/remove Autopay with verbal authorization.



Can I set up my autopay to be taken out biweekly?


No, that is currently not an option that we offer. If you enroll in autopay, your minimum monthly payment will be debited from your account on your due date each month.


How do I change my due date?

You can change your payment due date by logging into your SoFi Account, going to your ‘Loan Details’ Screen, clicking on ‘change’ next to ‘Payment Due Date,’ and in a few simple steps you can change your due date.

This option is available so long as you meet the following criteria:

•First payment must have been made
•Loan must be current and in good standing
•No due date change has been requested in the previous 12 months
•Requested payment date must be between 1-25th.

Once you choose a new, valid payment date, you’ll get a confirmation. The date change will also appear on your Personal loan page. Your electronic statement will be available in your SoFi Personal Loan account at least 10 days prior to the new due date.

Please keep in mind that in some instances a change in your payment due date may result in two required payments in a single month or an increase in your minimum monthly payment. Please ensure to review your estimated payment schedule before completing your payment due date change.

Please note that the requested due date cannot be within 15 days of your upcoming scheduled payment.



Why can’t I choose a payment date after the 25th?


Due to the varying lengths of months, we require the due date to be on or before the 25th. This allows all payments to be processed before the end of the month.


If I make a manual/one time payment will my autopay still happen?


Yes. If you’re enrolled in Autopay, making a one-time payment on your account does not change the autopay schedule, which may result in an additional withdrawal from your bank account.



My autopay didn’t go through, when will you try again?


If the payment wasn’t successful, we’ll retry on the following Friday unless the ACH failed due to insufficient funds. In that case, we’ll try again the next day.


How do I pay off my personal loan/How can I pay my loan in full?


To pay off your loan, go to the Loans tab in your SoFi account. Under your loan details, select Make a 1-time payment and then select Payoff as the payment type.

Enter the date you want the payment to post and select the correct bank account. If you’d like a payoff letter, you’ll find that option here, as well.

To send a check with the payoff amount, contact us at (855) 456-7634 and we’ll process the payment for you.

Please note that the cut-off time for same-day payments is 8:59 PM EST. If you have questions, give us a call at (833) 414-7634. We’re available 5am-7pm PT Monday-Thursday and 5am-5pm PT Friday.



Can I have a copy of my payoff letter?


Yes! You’ll receive the payoff letter 30 calendar days after the loan has been paid in full. To access the letter:

1. Log into your SoFi account.
2. Go to your Loans tab.
3. Click on Documents under Recent Transactions.

4. The payoff letter will be under Communications.

If you don’t see the letter after 30 calendar days, please contact us.



I submitted a payment to pay my loan in full, but am still enrolled in autopay. Do I need to turn off my autopay?


All payments stop once your loan is paid in full. You’ll need to log into your SoFi account to access the payoff letter. If you don’t see the letter after 30 calendar days, please contact us.


Can I make principal only payments?


All payments will be applied to any outstanding fees and accrued interest first and then the remaining will be applied towards the principal balance. Scheduling an additional payment on the same day you pay your full monthly payment is a great way to ensure most of your payment is applied towards principal.


I overpaid my loan, how will you refund me?


When a loan has been paid in full, any amount overpaid will be refunded 10 business days after the final payment has cleared.

We’ll send the refund to the active autopay account. If your autopay has been turned off, it will be refunded to the original bank account the loan was disbursed to.

If you want your refund to go to a different bank account or have questions about a refund, give us a call at (833) 414-7634. We’re available 5am-7pm PT Monday-Thursday and 5am-5pm PT Friday.


How does interest accrue on my loan/What is my daily interest?


Your interest rate includes the percentage you’re charged for taking out a loan, accrued on a daily basis, and doesn’t include any other fees. Interest compounds daily but because it’s amortized, you have a fixed payment each month with a portion of that payment going to the principal and a portion going to the interest due.
