To add a payable on death (POD) beneficiary, to your SoFi Checking and Savings account click here or follow the steps below:
- Log in to your SoFi account
- Navigate to your Banking tab
- Go to More
- Select Beneficiaries from the menu
- Select +Add in the top right corner
- Input your beneficiary’s information and confirm
You can add up to five primary and five secondary beneficiaries. These beneficiary designations will apply only to your Checking and Savings accounts.
When naming an individual as your beneficiary, you’ll need their full name, Social Security number, date of birth, and a U.S. address.
Your banking balances will be evenly split among your primary beneficiaries first—and will be split evenly among secondary beneficiaries only if there’s no living primary beneficiary.

Note: If you filled out a Payable on Death form before the online beneficiary designation was made available, simply submit the request online. The online submission replaces the form and becomes the current list of beneficiaries on your account. If you have not updated these existing beneficiaries online by June 23, 2023, they will be removed from your account and no longer be applicable.
