Cannot find their Keyster with both…

Cannot find their Keyster with both Hands and a Flashlight!

The app doesn't work, The chat doesn't work. The AI instantiation is nice, but useless - goes into a loop - fails to clear previous chats. Very, Very confusing.

The "customer service rep" is as dumb as a box of rocks. She is not familiar with banking terminology - maybe she should be flipping burgers!

Great rates - but what good are great rates if they can't execute basic banking functions. Maybe they should fix their core systems before they start pushing Crypto!

I’ve been a SoFi customer since 2020…

I’ve been a SoFi customer since 2020 and have used both your banking and credit card products. Because of the recent changes on monthly fee, I’ve decided to close both.
Introducing a monthly credit card fee with very short notice is already frustrating, but what made this worse is not being given the option to switch to SoFi Plus, which costs the same monthly fee but at least includes additional benefits.
As a long-time customer, this felt like a step away from the customer-first experience SoFi originally built its brand on. I would have preferred more notice and more flexibility in options for existing members.

Loyal Customer of 5+ Years Forced Out: SoFi Imposes $120/Year Fee on a Standard 2% Cash Back Card

I have been a loyal SoFi customer for over 5 years, maintaining a perfect payment history and using their credit card as my daily driver. Recently, I received a notice that starting February 23, 2026, SoFi is introducing a $10 monthly fee ($120 annually) for this card.
-Zero Added Value: They are charging a premium fee ($120/year) for a product that offers absolutely no premium benefits compared to the free version I signed up for. Competitor cards with annual fees (like Chase Sapphire or Amex) offer significant perks like travel insurance, annual credits, or higher reward multipliers to justify the cost. SoFi is offering nothing new — just a fee for what used to be free.
-Better Free Alternatives: The market standard for 2% cash back cards (Citi Double Cash, Fidelity Visa, Wells Fargo Active Cash) is $0 annual fee. SoFi is trying to charge for a baseline feature that is free everywhere else.
-The "Opt-Out" Ultimatum: The only way to avoid this fee is to close the account, which puts loyal customers in a terrible position regarding their credit score (credit age and utilization).
As a long-term client with banking and credit accounts at SoFi, this move feels like a betrayal of trust. I am closing my accounts and moving my business to a financial institution that respects its legacy customers. Warning to potential applicants: be aware that SoFi can and will change your "fee-free" terms to a subscription model without adding any value."

The investment initially appeared transparent and well managed. Withdrawal attempts revealed delays and vague responses. I spent considerable time waiting for updates.

Refer a Friend BONUS a scam....at least for me

The process was easy and fast ( I assume b/c my credit score is so high). I took out a loan for one of my businesses ( personally ) a 2 year term and have paid all off but 628.00 in less than 11 months . I have held off on paying this off as they offered a refer a friend bonus" that wanted to use to applied towards this small balance to pay in full.

HOWEVER THEY MISLEAD BOTH OF US! THEIR REFER A FRIEND LINK WAS BROKEN WHEN HE RECIEVED IT, I SENT IT SEVERAL TIMES WITH SAME OUTCOME. HE HAD TO CALL TO GET HIS APPLICATION STARTED AND WAS ADVISED THEY WOULD HANDLE WITH THE COMPLETION OF HIS LOAN AS LONG AS HE DID ALL THAT WAS REQUIRED ( GET APPROVED AND OPEN A SOFI BANK ACCOUNT).

WELL GUESS WHAT, 6 MONTHS LATER NO REFERRAL FEE AND WHEN I CALL I GET FOLKS OVERSEAS AND SIMPLY TELL ME I AM OUT LUCK AND NOT IN GREAT ENGLISH.

THEY WOULD HAVE A 5 STAR RATING BUT HAVE RUINED THAT WITH THEIR SCAM.

Service great!!!

The experience online, I received in receiving a personal loan was awesome and easy. Completed the application online and within a day or so I was approved. I think it took longer because they needed my signature and I didn't check my emails in a timely manner. Once I signed online,the next day I received the funds. I didn't even had to talk to anybody. Great service. Keep up the good work SoFi

Life Changing Experience

My personal loan experience with SoFi was truly life-changing. The application process was simple and seamless, and the funds were delivered swiftly at a 5% interest rate. This was more than a blessing. Thank you, SoFi, for strengthening my financial journey.
