SoFi Refreshes Home Loans, Making Home Buying Painless and Paperless

Offering Combines Competitive Rates, No Hidden Fees, and As Little As 10% Down — Apply Entirely Online¹

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. – March 27, 2019 – Today, SoFi announced the refresh of its mortgage offering as SoFi Home Loans, complete with a reengineered process that helps people buy or refinance a home with an online application, no hidden fees, or prepayment penalties.

“For most people, buying a home is the most important financial decision and, at the same time, the most complicated and stressful one they’ll ever make,” said SoFi CEO Anthony Noto. “We’ve taken everything we’ve learned in making lending convenient and painless, and brought it to SoFi Home Loans.”

The new SoFi Home Loans offering is built around a fast and easy application process. Applicants can pre-qualify in as little as two minutes online without any impact to their credit score.

SoFi Home Loans offer competitive rates including affordable down payments, with as little as 10% down on loans up to $3MM, with no hidden fees or prepayment penalties. SoFi allows applicants to choose between four different loan terms and fixed or adjustable rates. Those interested in refinancing can choose between traditional mortgage refinancing, cash-out refinancing, and student loan cash-out refinancing. If SoFi Home Loans isn’t able to handle a loan request, SoFi provides an easy option to digitally transfer member information to its affiliate partner who may be able to help.

SoFi membership, which comes with usage of any SoFi product, offers benefits including exclusive events across the country, complementary financial planning, and career coaching through an exclusive partnership with Korn Ferry.

Personal Loan Terms

Fixed rates from 7.74% APR to 35.49% APR reflect the 0.25% autopay interest rate discount and a 0.25% direct deposit interest rate discount. SoFi rate ranges are current as of 2/8/26 and are subject to change without notice. The average of SoFi Personal Loans funded in 2022 was around $30K. Not all applicants qualify for the lowest rate. Lowest rates reserved for the most creditworthy borrowers. Your actual rate will be within the range of rates listed and will depend on the term you select, evaluation of your creditworthiness, income, and a variety of other factors.

Loan amounts range from $5,000– $100,000. The APR is the cost of credit as a yearly rate and reflects both your interest rate and an origination fee of 0%-6%, which will be deducted from any loan proceeds you receive.

PERSONAL LOAN INTEREST RATES AND FEES | ELIGIBILITY AND IMPORTANT DETAILS. Annual percentage rates (APRs) shown include the 0.25% autopay discount. If approved for a loan, the rates and terms offered will depend on things like creditworthiness, the length of the loan, and other factors, and will fall within the range of rates available by applicable loan term; check out our full APR examples and terms. Remember, not all applicants will qualify for the lowest rate. Want to learn more? See our eligibility criteria at SoFi.com/eligibility-criteria. SoFi reserves the right to change interest rates at any time without notice, changes would only apply to applications begun after the effective date of the change. Fixed Rates: Fixed rates range from 7.74% APR to 35.49% APR (with autopay). The SoFi 0.25% autopay interest rate reduction requires you to agree to make your scheduled monthly payments by an automatic monthly deduction (ACH) from a savings or checking account. Enrolling in autopay is not required to receive a loan from SoFi. Loan Terms: SoFi Personal Loans offer loans with a period of repayment between 2 and 7-year terms. Loan Fees: SoFi personal loans have no fees required; specifically, no origination fees required, no late fees, no prepayment penalties.

PERSONAL LOAN | REPAYMENT EXAMPLE. The following example depicts the APR, monthly payment and total payments during the life of a $30,000 personal loan with a 2-year repayment term, a 0.25% autopay discount, and a fixed rate between 7.74% APR to 35.49% APR. It works out to 24 monthly payments ranging from $1,356.68–$1,529.07 for a total amount of payments ranging from $32,560.37–$36,697.76. This repayment example assumes that the borrower is signed up for autopay and that all payments are made on time, with no pre-payments. Actual rates may vary based on repayment term, loan amount, creditworthiness, and other terms and conditions. SoFi does not offer variable rate personal loans. State restrictions may apply.
