Event Summary

SoFi reduced the interest rate on SoFi Plus Savings balances exceeding $20,000 from 3.30% APY to 3.10% APY, effective May 28, 2026. The tiered rate structure remains unchanged (4.50% on balances up to $20,000), but the secondary tier now yields 20 basis points less annually. SoFi Plus members and non-members with Direct Deposit or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits both see this rate reduction applied to applicable balances.

MEDIUM

Consumer Impact

The updated terms reduce the Annual Percentage Yield on SoFi Savings balances exceeding $20,000 from 3.30% to 3.10% for both SoFi Plus subscribers and account holders who maintain Direct Deposit or $5,000 in Qualifying Deposits. This rate reduction is effective as of May 28, 2026. Existing balances and new deposits will earn the lower rate going forward; the tiered structure (4.50% on the first $20,000) remains in place. SoFi Savings account holders may review their rate sheet or contact SoFi to confirm their applicable rate tier based on account balance and membership status.

Governance Analysis

The updated terms reduce annual interest earnings on SoFi Savings balances exceeding $20,000 by 20 basis points. This directly affects the yield on deposits held in these accounts, lowering the effective return for account holders relative to the previous rate structure.

Available Actions

Review your SoFi Savings account balance and rate to confirm the updated 3.10% APY applies to your secondary-tier balances

Compare the updated rate against other savings providers if yield is a primary consideration for your deposit allocation

If No Action Is Taken

The updated rate will apply to all new and existing balances exceeding $20,000 effective May 28, 2026

Ongoing deposits in SoFi Savings will earn the reduced 3.10% APY on the secondary tier as stated in the updated terms

Institutional Analysis

Assessment

SoFi reduced the secondary-tier APY on SoFi Savings accounts from 3.30% to 3.10% effective May 28, 2026. This is a straightforward rate reduction affecting existing and future deposits. From a regulatory perspective, savings account rate changes are generally subject to FDIC disclosure and TILA/Regulation Z requirements; SoFi must ensure disclosures in account materials, websites, and statements reflect the updated rates. No new obligations appear to be created, but the rate change should be confirmed to be properly reflected in deposit account agreements and customer-facing rate disclosures. Compliance teams may wish to verify that branch systems, online banking, marketing materials, and customer communications have been updated to reflect the new rates.
