Summary: SoFi Bank offers a competitive 3.80% APY on its savings account, contingent on a direct deposit or a $5,000 qualifying deposit. With no maintenance fees and an A+ BBB rating, it reflects strong reliability. However, it operates online only, which may deter those preferring in-person banking.
