SoFi revised terminology in its SoFi Plus account terms, changing instances of 'total equity' to 'total equity value' throughout the early withdrawal fee provisions. The company also added an explicit definition of 'pre-promotion total equity value' specifying it means the total equity value as of the end-of-day balance before the qualifying deposit was received and eligibility requirements were satisfied, as determined by SoFi in its sole discretion. The operational effect is to standardize terminology and clarify the baseline calculation point for determining whether an early withdrawal triggers a fee.

What this means for you

The updated terms revise how SoFi calculates whether an early withdrawal from a SoFi Plus account triggers a fee. The company standardized terminology from 'total equity' to 'total equity value' and added an explicit definition stating that 'pre-promotion total equity value' means the account's total equity value as of the end-of-day balance before the qualifying deposit was received and eligibility requirements were satisfied, as determined by SoFi in its sole discretion. This provides clearer language for when the early withdrawal fee applies, but the underlying calculation method and fee conditions remain substantively the same.

Key Clauses Affected
