JetBlue’s TrueBlue members earn 1 TrueBlue ® point for every $2 they refinance through SoFi

New York, NY and San Francisco, Calif. – May 30, 2017 – Today, SoFi and JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) announced a partnership that lets those with student loans simultaneously lower their payments while earning valuable airline loyalty points, the first partnership between a direct lender for student loans and an airline.

Through the partnership, JetBlue’s TrueBlue members who refinance their student loans with SoFi will now earn 1 TrueBlue® point for every $2 they refinance through the lender, up to 50,000 points. Refinancing student loans with SoFi frees up extra money that members can use to pursue travel plans, save and invest for the future, or buy a home.

Younger Americans, especially the Millennial generation, are eager to travel but record student debt levels are holding them back:

• The average Class of 2016 graduate is carrying $37,172 in student loan debt
• When asked which investment, purchase or life event has been delayed due to student debt repayment, 53% of Millennials said travel, more than buying a home (45%) or saving for retirement (38%)
• Of Millennials who do not have enough money to travel as much as they’d like, nearly 90% say that if they suddenly had more money to spend, they would travel more.

“We hear every day from SoFi members that refinancing their student loans helps them get more out of life,” said Catesby Perrin, VP of Business Development at SoFi. “We’re thrilled to work with JetBlue to open up a world of travel opportunities while helping people pay off their student loans faster at the same time.”

TrueBlue members are able to refinance their loans with SoFi and earn points today by visiting https://www.sofi.com/jetblue/.

“Our new partnership with SoFi truly rewards loyalty, allowing TrueBlue members to earn points while lowering their student loan debt,” said Scott Resnick, director loyalty marketing, JetBlue. “SoFi has created an innovative model that helps those with debt refinance while earning points for future travel.”

Wealth management service gives people exceptional access to low-cost, professional advice and planning

San Francisco, Calif. – May 16, 2017 – Today, SoFi announced the general availability of SoFi Invest, the first low-cost online invest platform to combine an easy-to-use online and mobile interface with unlimited access to live, licensed financial advisors, giving people the guidance they need to understand, define, and then work toward achieving their investing goals.

Features of SoFi Invest include:

• Smart Portfolios: SoFi Invest helps people invest easily and intelligently by automatically building and rebalancing low cost, tax-efficient portfolios to generate long-term returns, while minimizing risk for individual and retirement accounts such as traditional deductible IRA accounts, Simplified Employee Pensions, and Roth IRAs.
• Live Advice: SoFi is the only wealth management offering at this low price point to offer unlimited access to non-commissioned, licensed financial advisors, who are available via phone or chat.
• Low Fees: Management fees are waived completely for SoFi loan borrowers over the life of their loan. For everyone else, management fees are just 0.25%, and are waived for the first $10,000 invested.
• Low Minimums: A $500 initial investment or recurring monthly deposit of $100 gets investors started in SoFi’s goal-oriented portfolios of low-cost exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
• Member Benefits: SoFi Invest comes with access to SoFi’s suite of member benefits, like community events, career coaching, and discounts on other SoFi products.

SoFi Invest users can access their accounts via the web, as well as the SoFi Invest app, available now for both Android and iOS.

“People love the low fees and automation of robo-advisors, but they struggle with not having an actual human being to talk to when facing big financial questions. We’ve built something that perfectly balances those interests,” said John Gardner, general manager of SoFi Invest. “For those who haven’t started investing, like younger professionals who make up a large part of the SoFi member base, that guidance from a live advisor can help give them the confidence they need to start planning for a lifetime of financial success.”

According to a recent Bankrate survey, less than a third of millennials invest in the stock market, and the most common reason cited by that group was not knowing enough about the market.

A conversation with a financial advisor can be prohibitively expensive for investors just getting started, and the tools that are intended to cater to this group – robo-advisors – aren’t delivering on the advice side. In fact, only 5% of U.S. investors surveyed by Gallup feel that robo-advisors make people feel confident about their investments, and only 15% of investors think robo-advisors are meeting their needs by taking their entire financial picture into account.

To complement the guidance provided by SoFi Invest Advisors, SoFi is also developing comprehensive financial planning offerings focused on its members most important needs outside of investing: first-time home buying, young family financial planning, and joint financial planning for couples. SoFi will begin delivering these highly-personalized, needs-specific plans this summer.

The ability to help people who really need it may be the main reason you’ve decided to become a nurse. But let’s face it—money is usually a factor in job choice. That comes into play in two distinct ways: in terms of the salary you’ll be able to earn as a nurse, and the loans you’ll have to repay.
