SoFi may suspend or terminate any user's account and access to all SoFi products and services at any time, for any or no reason, without prior notice, at its sole and absolute discretion.

This provision grants SoFi unilateral authority to terminate access to any or all SoFi financial products and services, including banking, lending, and investment accounts, without advance notice. For users who rely on SoFi as a primary banking or financial services platform, abrupt termination without notice may create operational continuity concerns; the scope of this authority and any applicable regulatory limits would depend on the specific product type and governing financial services regulations.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of no-notice termination across all product types may be limited by product-specific banking, securities, and consumer financial regulations that impose independent procedural requirements on account closure.
The updated terms establish a new holding structure for the SoFi Plus 1% investment match benefit. Previously, members needed to maintain SoFi Plus membership for one continuous year from each deposit settlement to retain the match; the updated terms now require deposits to remain in the investment account for five years to retain the full match amount. The promotional period for this benefit restarted on August 18, 2026 and now runs through an unspecified termination date set by SoFi. Early withdrawal or account closure within the five-year period will result in loss of the match amount, though SoFi removed the explicit cancellation fee language in favor of forfeiture through the holding requirement. A limited-time 1% Deposit Match Offer available August 18-31, 2026 can now be combined with the main benefit if qualifying deposits and holding periods are independently satisfied for each offer.
View change record →The updated terms establish new conditions for SoFi's referral promotion that became effective on August 5, 2026. New account holders must now deposit $500 or more (rather than $50) within 21 days to qualify for the $50 Standard Bonus. For those subscribing to SoFi Plus, the terms now explicitly require that the $10/month payment be processed and validated by SoFi within the same 21-day window. Under the revised promotion period running through September 30, 2026, these higher activation thresholds apply to all new referrals.
View change record →The updated terms accelerate the referral promotion deadline to August 4, 2026, and impose tighter timing requirements on eligible recipients: accounts must open before the promotion ends, and deposits must settle within 21 days of both opening the link and registering or logging in as a SoFi user. This creates a more compressed eligibility window than the previous 21-day window measured from clicking the link alone. For SoFi Plus members, the updated terms now state that SoFi will automatically enable Overdraft Protection linking individual checking accounts to individual savings accounts (and joint accounts to joint accounts), allowing available savings to cover checking overdrafts without fees. You can disable Overdraft Protection at any time through the SoFi app or website, and funds applied to overdraft protection are limited to savings deposits not allocated to a Vault.
View change record →Under this clause, SoFi may close or suspend a user's account across any product line, including bank accounts and loan servicing, without prior notice and without stating a reason. Applicable banking regulations and federal financial services laws may impose procedural requirements on account closure that operate independently of this contractual provision.
