SoFi Insured Deposit Program
SoFi Checking and Savings members can access up to $3M of additional FDIC insurance by enrolling in the SoFi Insured Deposit Program.**
There are no fees to boost your insurance and members with eligible direct deposit will earn 3.30% APY1 on all their savings balances and 0.50% APY on all their checking balances, too.
How It Works
Funds participating in the SoFi Insured Deposit Program are deposited into deposit accounts at banks which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 for each category of legal ownership (individual and joint), including any other balances you may hold directly or through other intermediaries, including broker-dealers. The total amount of FDIC insurance for your account under this program is limited to $3M. Review the Program Terms and Conditions carefully before enrolling in the program and for other important disclosures and information. To assure your FDIC coverage, regularly review banks in which your funds have been deposited and you may be required to take appropriate action to ensure you retain full insurance coverage at each participating bank. The program is administered by a technology service provider to SoFi Bank.

FAQs
FDIC is an abbreviation for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. It is an independent agency of the United States government that protects bank depositors against the loss of their insured deposits.
There is no cost for FDIC Insurance. Bank members don’t need to purchase deposit insurance; it is automatic for any deposit account opened at an FDIC-insured bank such as SoFi. SoFi Members are NOT charged for increasing their FDIC insurance.
No. You can continue to earn SoFi’s high APY whether you enroll in the SoFi Insured Deposit Program or not. Earn 3.30% APY on all your savings balances by setting up eligible direct deposit (or depositing at least $5,000 every 30 days).
SoFi partners with multiple banks to provide the best benefits to our members. By enrolling, you can increase your access to FDIC insurance from the standard $250K of FDIC coverage to up to $3M of coverage. This works the same way it would if you manually opened accounts with different banks. We just do it seamlessly and automatically and you can still access all your cash through SoFi. It is important that you maintain awareness of any deposits you might maintain at one of the other participating banks as this may affect your coverage with that participating bank.
For purposes of insurance, the FDIC aggregates deposit balances of each customer held in the same legal ownership category at a particular bank (e.g., individual, joint, IRA, corporate). If you have an outside account with one of SoFi’s participating banks, the funds in that account will also count towards your total maximum eligible FDIC insurance at that particular bank ($250K for individual accounts, $500K for joint accounts). You can review SoFi’s current participating bank list above to determine whether you have any outside funds at these banks.
If you are not comfortable with placing your funds in any of the participating banks, you are solely responsible for withdrawing your funds from the Program by opting out of the Program.
