SoFi Bank is offering a $325 welcome bonus for opening the checking/savings account.
To get the full bonus direct deposits in the amount of $5,000 is required.
Earn 4.60% APY on the SoFi Savings Account for setting up direct deposit.
The SoFi Bank bonus offer is one of the highest in the industry. New SoFi Bank customers can earn up to $325 as a checking account bonus.
Banks often invest in marketing strategies, including sign-up bonuses, with the expectation that these incentives will attract new customers.
Here is a quick look at how to earn the SoFi bank bonus:
Qualifying direct deposits include payroll deposits made via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, Social Security payments, pension payments and most government benefits payments.
One qualifying deposit during the evaluation period can earn a bonus. The minimum deposit required to receive the SoFi $50 bonus is $1,000 or the minimum deposit to receive the SoFi $300 bonus is $5,000. Technically that means you don’t have to set-up a recurring deposit in order to earn the bonus.
You’ll get your SoFi bonus within seven business days after the 25-day evaluation period ends. The evaluation period starts the day you receive your first direct deposit.
The Direct Deposit Promotion period goes through 6/30/24 at 11:59PM ET.
Once you open the SoFi checking account—which also includes a savings account—sign up for direct deposit to receive your paycheck up to two days early.
Earn up to 15% cash back when you use your SoFi debit card to make purchases at qualifying local businesses. Once you open the SoFi checking account, visit the “Shop local” page to find local stores and restaurants that have rewards enabled and then activate the specific offer(s).
When you use your SoFi debit card at those participating merchants, you’re eligible to get cash back but you must swipe your card and run as ‘Credit’ to receive the cash back rewards.
SoFi will cover up to $50 with no fees if you overdraft your account but you must have a direct deposit of at least $1,000 set up. Your next deposit will automatically be applied to your negative balance.
Use your debit card to access funds anytime and anywhere, with more than 55,000+ ATMs within the Allpoint® Network.
Earn more with automatic roundups on all debit card purchases. Roundups are transferred to your savings Vault, where they can continue to grow.
Pay bills, deposit checks, send money, and manage your digital wallet all in the SoFi app.
