Change Summary
SoFi substantially revised its referral program terms on June 17, 2026, restructuring eligibility rules, adding explicit conduct and disclosure standards for referrers, introducing a $10,000 annual referral cap, and establishing new tax reporting obligations. The updated terms now prohibit mass email solicitation, require disclosure of material connections to SoFi, restrict claims about product outcomes, and establish independent contractor status with potential W-9 documentation requirements. These changes create binding restrictions on how referrers can promote SoFi products and establish new eligibility limits and administrative requirements.
