SoFi updated its Terms of Service on May 11, 2026, making primarily editorial and structural changes to the document. The update removed several navigation elements and hyperlinks from the table of contents, and modified language in the introductory section to explicitly incorporate the Arbitration Agreement and clarify that electronic communications are binding. The substantive operational change is the explicit addition of the Arbitration Agreement as a binding document users must accept when using SoFi's platform or services.
Consumers: When you sign up for SoFi or use its services, you are agreeing to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than in court, as stated in SoFi's separate Arbitration Agreement.
The updated Terms now explicitly state that users must accept SoFi's Arbitration Agreement along with the Terms of Use and other agreements in order to use the SoFi Site or obtain any SoFi product or service. Previously, the reference to the Arbitration Agreement was less prominent in the document structure. The updated language also confirms that all communication with users related to SoFi and its products may be provided in electronic form. Under the revised terms, disputes arising from your use of SoFi's services would be resolved through the arbitration process outlined in the Arbitration Agreement rather than through court proceedings.
