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.

What this means for you

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.

What you can do

Review the updated Arbitration Agreement referenced in the Terms of Use to understand dispute resolution procedures and any opt-out rights that may apply.

Configure Privacy Preference Center settings to decline non-essential cookies and tracking technologies, noting that strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled.

Verify that your contact preferences are set correctly in your SoFi account to confirm consent to electronic communications.
