SoFi's Terms of Use now explicitly reference the Arbitration Agreement as a binding document that users must accept to use the platform or obtain SoFi products and services. The updated language also clarifies that all communication related to SoFi and its products may occur in electronic form. The primary substantive change moves the arbitration requirement from a separate document into the explicit acceptance requirement at the outset of the terms.
The updated terms state that acceptance of SoFi's Arbitration Agreement is now an explicit requirement to use the SoFi Site or obtain any SoFi product or service. Previously, the arbitration requirement may have been referenced separately or implied through other agreements. The revised language clarifies that by using SoFi's platform, users consent to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than through court proceedings. This means disputes must proceed through individual arbitration as outlined in SoFi's Arbitration Agreement, subject to its terms and conditions.
The updated terms establish that arbitration is now an explicit, non-negotiable condition of using SoFi's platform or obtaining its products. Previously, the arbitration requirement may have been referenced in separate documents or less prominently. This change clarifies SoFi's position on dispute resolution and means users cannot access SoFi's services without accepting the arbitration clause, which typically bars class action lawsuits and requires individual disputes to be resolved through arbitration rather than court.

By using SoFi or getting any SoFi product, you agree that disputes will be resolved through arbitration, not court.
SoFi modified its Terms of Use to explicitly incorporate the Arbitration Agreement as a binding acceptance requirement, moving it from implicit or separate reference into the primary terms acceptance flow. This change affects how SoFi establishes enforceability of its arbitration clause and may influence the clarity and notice standards under applicable arbitration law. The change likely does not create new regulatory obligations but may affect the enforceability posture of SoFi's arbitration terms under state and federal arbitration law, including the Federal Arbitration Act. Compliance teams should confirm that the arbitration agreement itself complies with applicable state law requirements for valid arbitration agreements.
