Impact Summary

High Negative for users
Affected users
All users

SoFi updated its Terms of Service on June 6, 2026 to explicitly state that the Arbitration Agreement is binding on users. The previous version listed the Arbitration Agreement as one of several agreements users must accept, but the updated language now explicitly incorporates it into the binding acceptance clause and clarifies that all communication may be conducted electronically. This change makes arbitration a mandatory requirement for all users who access SoFi products or services.

1 obligation expanded

Consumers: Any disagreement or dispute with SoFi must be resolved through arbitration, not in court or as part of a class action lawsuit.
