{/*FAQs*/}
FAQ
Transfer limits depend on the method you’re using:
- Internal Transfers (between SoFi accounts): There are no limits to how much you can transfer between your SoFi Checking and Savings accounts.
- External ACH Transfers (to/from other banks): Limits are typically $50,000 per day, but can be as high as $100,000 per day for established members.
Transfer times depend on the method you’re using:
- Internal Transfers (between SoFi accounts): Instant.
- External ACH Transfers (to/from other banks): 1 to 3 business days.
It depends on the transfer type, so it’s important to be sure before you send:
- Internal Transfers (between SoFi accounts): Technically, you can’t cancel the transfer because the money moves instantly. However, you can just as instantly transfer it back to the original account if you change your mind.
- External ACH Transfers (to/from other banks): Yes, but only if the transfer is still in “pending” status.
This is a very common point of confusion. Here’s a simple way to break it down:
- External ACH Transfers: This is the standard way to move money between your SoFi account and an external bank account you own. They are free but typically take 1 to 3 business days to complete.
- Wire Transfers: These are best for large, time-sensitive domestic payments, like for a home purchase. They usually process the same day if sent by the cutoff time, but have a $30 fee. Wires are generally final and cannot be reversed.
- Zelle®: This is a fast, safe, and easy way to send money to other people (like friends and family) using just their U.S. mobile number or email address. Transfers typically happen in minutes.
We use a multi-layered security approach to protect your money and information. Your SoFi Bank deposits are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 (and up to $3 million through our partner network). We use SSL encryption to protect your personal and financial data, require two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access, and have systems in place that continuously monitor for fraudulent activity 24/7.
This can be done two ways:
- Instant: If you link your account using Plaid (by logging in with your other bank’s username and password), it’s linked instantly.
- 1-2 Business Days: If you link your account manually (using your account and routing numbers), it will take 1-2 business days to verify via micro-deposits.
We do not charge any fees for ACH transfers (moving money to or from your linked external bank accounts).2
