SoFi updated its Terms of Service on June 2, 2026, making several formatting and structural changes. The most substantive change appears to be expanded language around electronic communications and the explicit inclusion of an Arbitration Agreement as a binding requirement. The updated terms now state that users must accept the Arbitration Agreement as part of service eligibility, and that all communication related to SoFi products may occur in electronic form. Additionally, the document now discloses tracking technologies and data sharing with third-party partners in marketing and analytics contexts.
The updated Terms of Service now explicitly require users to accept the Arbitration Agreement as a binding condition of using SoFi products and services. Under the revised language, all disputes will be resolved through arbitration rather than litigation unless otherwise specified. Additionally, the updated terms now disclose that SoFi uses pixels and other tracking technologies to collect information about user behavior and interactions, and shares this information with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. The disclosure states that if users do not make an active selection regarding tracking preferences, they agree to SoFi's use of these technologies. You can review SoFi's Privacy Preference Center to decline optional tracking or accept all tracking technologies.
The updated terms establish mandatory arbitration as a binding requirement for all users, which shifts dispute resolution from courts to private arbitration. The expanded tracking and third-party data-sharing disclosures clarify SoFi's data practices and require users to actively opt-out of non-essential tracking, creating material privacy and consent implications under state and federal privacy law.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
When you use any SoFi product, you agree that disputes will be resolved through arbitration, not in court.
SoFi now explicitly discloses that it uses tracking technologies and shares user behavior data with marketing and analytics partners.
All SoFi communications, including important account notices, may be sent electronically rather than in paper form.
SoFi updated its Terms of Service on June 2, 2026 to explicitly include the Arbitration Agreement as a mandatory requirement and to expand disclosures regarding tracking technologies and third-party data sharing. The arbitration provision, now explicitly referenced and binding on all users, may affect the scope of consumer litigation and dispute resolution. The expanded tracking disclosures engage privacy law requirements (notably CCPA in California and GDPR for EU users) regarding notice of data collection and sharing with third parties. Compliance teams should evaluate whether the consent mechanism (opt-out model with default acceptance on inaction) meets applicable state and federal privacy standards, particularly given the inclusion of pixels and behavioral tracking.
