SoFi updated its Terms of Service on June 5, 2026 with primarily formatting and navigation improvements. The main substantive change removes language that previously required users to agree to SoFi's Arbitration Agreement as part of accepting the Terms of Use; the updated language now references only the E-Sign Agreement and GLBA Privacy Notice. Several section headers now include navigation links (same page links) for better accessibility. These changes simplify the document structure and may affect how dispute resolution is presented to new users.
Consumers: Users who accept the updated Terms of Use may no longer be explicitly informed in the primary acceptance language that they are agreeing to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than courts.
The updated Terms of Service no longer include the Arbitration Agreement in the primary acceptance clause. Previously, users who agreed to the Terms of Use were deemed to have accepted the Arbitration Agreement as part of that acceptance. The revised language now states that acceptance of the Terms of Use Agreement and GLBA Privacy Notice constitute binding electronic acceptance, but no longer explicitly cross-references the Arbitration Agreement in this core section. This does not necessarily eliminate the Arbitration Agreement from SoFi's terms overall—it may still be available separately—but it removes the explicit linkage in the primary acceptance language.
