FAQs


What do I need to open a SoFi Checking and Savings account?


Opening an account is quick and easy. All we need are a few pieces of information such as name, home address, and Social Security number. In some cases, we may need additional documentation like a copy of your driver’s license, and/or a current photo ID to verify your identity. Note: In order to qualify for the exclusive $350 offer, you must sign up using a link on this page.


What will my APY be?

As long as you set up a recurring eligible direct deposit or add $5,000 every 30 days, you’ll earn 3.60% APY on your savings and Vaults balances and 0.50% APY on your checking balances.3 If you do not have a direct deposit or $5,000 in deposits every 30 days, you’ll earn 1.00%APY on savings and Vaults balances and 0.50% on checking balances.

Interest rates are variable and subject to change at any time. Additional information can be found at sofi.com/legal/banking-rate-sheet.


Do I need a minimum balance to open an account or get the highest interest rate?

There is no minimum balance required to open a SoFi Checking and Savings account. Members can unlock 3.60% APY savings balances with either direct deposit (no minimum required) or by depositing at least $5,000 every 30 days.3 For more information, please visit sofi.com/banking.

•Step 2: After you’ve completed your application, open the SoFi app > tap Banking > tap More menu > tap Joint account holder.
•Step 3: Follow instructions to add a joint account holder. Your joint account holder will receive an email for confirmation.


How do I set up direct deposit?

Simply download this pre-filled form, sign it, and submit it to your employer’s payroll department. Simple as that! Alternatively, if your employer has an HR portal that allows you to set up direct deposit by inputting your account number and routing number, you can get those here.


How do I withdraw and deposit cash?

SoFi makes it easy to both withdraw and deposit money. To withdraw, simply visit any of the 55,000 Allpoint ATMs2 (more locations than Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America combined!). You won’t pay any fee as long as you visit one of these ATMs. In order to deposit money, simply visit a retail location that offers GreenDot services.


What about fees?

We’re proud to say that banking with SoFi has no account fees and no service charges—and we’re working hard to keep it that way.1 There are no fees on overdraft, account open, minimum balance, dormant account or regular maintenance. We also offer no ATM fees at 55,000+ Allpoint ATMs worldwide.2


Can I sign up for both an individual account and a joint account?

No, not at this time. Members can either have an individual or joint account at one time.


How do I connect my new SoFi Checking and Savings account to my Cash Fund registry on The Knot?


Once you’ve created your Cash Fund, simply navigate to ‘Bank Details.’ Enter your SoFi Checking and Savings account information, save, and you’re all set!
