SoFi's updated Terms of Service on June 12, 2026 includes several procedural and disclosure changes. The agreement now explicitly incorporates the Arbitration Agreement as a binding document alongside the Terms of Use and E-Sign Agreement, and clarifies that all communications with customers may occur in electronic form. The privacy and tracking disclosure section was substantially revised to detail the use of cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies, and to explain how information is shared with social media, advertising, and analytics partners, with revised opt-out procedures for non-essential tracking.
The updated terms now explicitly require that users accept a binding Arbitration Agreement as a condition of using SoFi products and services. This means disputes—including contract disputes, regulatory claims, and other disagreements—must be resolved through individual arbitration rather than court litigation or class action lawsuits, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Additionally, SoFi's revised privacy and tracking disclosure clarifies that the company uses cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies to collect information about user behavior and preferences, and shares this information with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. You can decline optional tracking by toggling settings in the Privacy Preference Center, but strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for basic site functionality.
The explicit incorporation of mandatory arbitration into the binding Terms of Use significantly alters the dispute resolution framework for all SoFi customers, eliminating access to courts and class actions for contractual and regulatory disputes. The expanded tracking disclosure and data-sharing practices clarify how SoFi collects and uses customer behavioral data, which may have compliance implications for downstream service providers and customers in regulated jurisdictions like California and the EU.

SoFi formalized the incorporation of its Arbitration Agreement as a binding document within the Terms of Use, establishing mandatory individual arbitration for all disputes. This change affects dispute resolution mechanisms and may implicate state arbitration law, the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and consumer protection statutes that regulate arbitration clauses in consumer contracts. The expanded tracking disclosure and data-sharing terms reflect practices common to fintech platforms but require careful review to ensure compliance with GDPR (if EU users are affected), CCPA (if California residents are affected), and FTC guidance on unfair or deceptive privacy practices. Organizations using SoFi's products should confirm that downstream vendor terms and privacy notices reflect these tracking practices and arbitration requirements.
