3Who is eligible for a Direct Deposit Bonus?
New and existing SoFi members who have never set up direct deposit with SoFi are eligible for the Direct Deposit Bonus. Bonuses are limited to one bonus per SoFi member. In the case of a joint account, direct deposit activity will only be counted towards the primary account holder’s eligibility for the bonus (the primary account holder is the member who opened the joint account first).
How do I earn the Direct Deposit Bonus?
- Set up your first Eligible Direct Deposit. SoFi must receive it on or before 12/31/26.
- Once SoFi receives and recognizes your first Eligible Direct Deposit of $1 or more, we will add up the Total Eligible Direct Deposits received over the next 25 calendar days. This total will determine the bonus amount.
| Total Eligible Direct Deposit | Bonus Amount | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| $1.00 – $999.99 | $0 | To determine your bonus amount, SoFi will add up all your Eligible Direct Deposits received within 25 calendar days of your first Eligible Direct Deposit of $1 or more. |
| $1,000.00 – $4,999.99 | $50 | |
| $5,000.00 or more | $400 |
- You will receive the bonus amount in your SoFi Checking account within 7 business days of completing all requirements listed above. You are only eligible to receive one bonus amount. You must have an open SoFi Checking account in good standing at the time of the bonus payment.
What is an Eligible Direct Deposit?
Eligible: Recurring ACH deposit of regular income to your SoFi Checking or Savings account, including payroll, pension, or government benefit payments (e.g., Social Security), made by your employer, payroll or benefits provider or government agency (“Eligible Direct Deposit”)
Not Eligible: Deposits that are not from an employer, payroll or benefits provider or government agency and deposits that are non-recurring in nature are not eligible. Examples of deposits that are not eligible include check deposits, peer-to-peer transfers (e.g., transfers from Zelle®, PayPal, Venmo, Wise, etc.), merchant transactions (e.g., transactions from PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.), bank ACH funds transfers, wire transfers from external accounts, and IRS tax refunds. SoFi Bank shall, in its sole discretion, assess your Eligible Direct Deposit activity to determine eligibility and may require additional documentation to complete this verification.
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. If you have satisfied the Eligible Direct Deposit requirements but have not received a cash bonus in your Checking account, please contact us at 855-456-7634 with the details of your initial Eligible Direct Deposit. After SoFi validates the details of your Eligible Direct Deposit, your Direct Deposit Bonus amount will be based on the amount of Eligible Direct Deposits received within 25 days of your initial Eligible Direct Deposit of $1 or more.
