Annual percentage yield (APY) is variable and subject to change at any time. Rates are current as of 10/20/26. There is no minimum balance requirement. Fees may reduce earnings. Additional rates and information can be found at https://www.sofi.com/legal/banking-rate-sheet.


Eligible Direct Deposit means a recurring deposit of regular income to an account holder’s SoFi Checking or Savings account, including payroll, pension, or government benefit payments (e.g., Social Security), made by the account holder’s employer, payroll or benefits provider or government agency (“Eligible Direct Deposit”) via the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Network every 31 calendar days.


Although we do our best to recognize all Eligible Direct Deposits, a small number of employers, payroll providers, benefits providers, or government agencies do not designate payments as direct deposit. To ensure you're earning the APY for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit, we encourage you to check your APY Details page the day after your Eligible Direct Deposit posts to your SoFi account. If your APY is not showing as the APY for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit, contact us at 855-456-7634 with the details of your Eligible Direct Deposit. As long as SoFi Bank can validate those details, you will start earning the APY for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit from the date you contact SoFi for the next 31 calendar days. You will also be eligible for the APY for account holders with Eligible Direct Deposit on future Eligible Direct Deposits, as long as SoFi Bank can validate them.


Deposits that are not from an employer, payroll, or benefits provider or government agency, including but not limited to check deposits, peer-to-peer transfers (e.g., transfers from PayPal, Venmo, Wise, etc.), merchant transactions (e.g., transactions from PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.), and bank ACH funds transfers and wire transfers from external accounts, or are non-recurring in nature (e.g., IRS tax refunds), do not constitute Eligible Direct Deposit activity. There is no minimum Eligible Direct Deposit amount required to qualify for the stated interest rate. SoFi Bank shall, in its sole discretion, assess each account holder's Eligible Direct Deposit activity to determine the applicability of rates and may request additional documentation for verification of eligibility. See additional details at https://www.sofi.com/legal/banking-rate-sheet.

What is autopay?

 

Autopay is an automatic monthly payment option for your SoFi Personal Loan. It pulls your scheduled payment each month on your due date, so you do not need to manually make a payment each time.

 

Eligible members who enroll in autopay also receive a 0.25% interest rate reduction while autopay is active.

 

What is the Autopay Discount? 

 

With Autopay, you can get a 0.25% interest rate reduction when you enroll in automatic monthly payments from a bank account of your choice.

Here’s how it works:

Let’s say your monthly payment is $50:

  • $25 goes to principal
  • $25 goes to interest

With the Autopay discount, let’s say you’ll save $1 on interest—so your new payment would be $49:

  • $25 to principal
  • $24 to interest

Autopay is a great way to save on interest over time!

 

Can I pay extra with autopay?

 

Yes. You can choose to have autopay pull your minimum monthly payment, or your minimum payment plus an extra amount each month.

 

If I make a one-time payment, will autopay still run?

 

Yes. If you are enrolled in autopay, your scheduled autopay will still pull on your due date even if you already made a one-time payment that month.

 

Can I set up autopay in bi-weekly payments or split it into multiple payments?

 

No. That is not currently a feature available for SoFi Personal Loans.

 

Is there a cutoff to cancel autopay before the next payment?

 

Yes. To stop the next scheduled autopay, you’ll need to cancel it by the calendar day before your due date.

 

What happens if my autopay due date falls on a weekend or holiday?

 

If your payment due date falls on a weekend or holiday, your autopay will process on the next business day.

 

Can I pause autopay for just one month?

 

If you need to stop autopay, you can cancel it and re-enable it later when you’re ready.

Please note: turning off autopay will remove your 0.25% interest rate reduction and will re-amortize your loan.

 

What if my autopay fails?

  • If an autopay attempt is returned, SoFi may automatically retry the payment.

     

    If the retry also fails, autopay will automatically be disabled. If that happens, the 0.25% autopay discount will be removed and your loan will re-amortize.

     

    Can I set up autopay if my loan is past due?

     

    Autopay is only available when your loan is current. If you recently made a payment to bring your loan current, autopay may be available once that payment has been posted successfully.
