Our Take on SoFi Bank

Highlights

  • Current APY of 3.80%, unchanged from 30 days ago.
  • No minimum deposit or balance requirements.
  • No maintenance fees for the savings account.
  • High App Store rating of 4.8.

Considerations

  • Direct deposit or $5,000 qualifying deposit required for full APY.
  • Online-only bank with no physical branches.
  • Google Play rating of 4.4, lower than App Store.
  • Limited account options compared to traditional banks.
Summary: SoFi Bank offers a competitive APY of 3.80% for its savings account, with no minimum deposit or maintenance fees. However, to earn the full APY, users must meet direct deposit or qualifying deposit requirements. The bank operates online only, lacking physical branches, which may be a drawback for some. SoFi holds an A+ BBB rating, indicating strong trustworthiness, and enjoys high ratings on both app stores.
