Sofi plus subscribers US users

SoFi updated its SoFi Plus subscription terms on May 19, 2026, making several clarifications and operational adjustments. The company changed references from 'every 30 days' to 'every month' for billing cycles across ACH transfers and credit/debit card payments, updated terminology from 'Customers' to 'Members', and added new language stating that SoFi may modify the subscription fee or billing interval upon advance notice. The terms now specify that the recurring debit authorization remains in effect until you update your payment method or cancel, rather than only upon cancellation.

2 new obligations 1 obligation expanded

Consumers: Your SoFi Plus subscription fee or how often you are billed can change if SoFi notifies you in advance.

Consumers: If you change how you pay for SoFi Plus, your standing authorization to charge the old payment method automatically ends.

Consumers: The terms now say 'monthly' instead of 'every 30 days' to describe when you are charged, which is operationally the same.

What this means for you

The updated terms establish that SoFi may modify the SoFi Plus subscription fee or billing interval upon advance notice to you. Previously, the terms did not explicitly reserve this modification right. The billing cycle language changed from 'every 30 days' to 'every month', which operationally clarifies the payment frequency. The terms now state that your recurring payment authorization ends if you update your payment method or cancel your subscription, creating an additional condition beyond cancellation alone. Under the revised language, you should monitor advance notices from SoFi regarding potential fee or billing interval changes.

What you can do

Monitor advance notifications from SoFi regarding any SoFi Plus fee or billing interval changes

Update your payment method if you want to stop recurring charges immediately

Key Clauses Affected

fee and billing interval modification clause

SoFi now explicitly reserves the right to modify subscription fees or billing intervals upon advance notice, a previously unstated contractual authority.

payment authorization termination trigger

Recurring payment authorization now ends upon payment method update or cancellation, rather than cancellation alone, creating an additional mechanism to stop charges.
