SoFi Will Increase Available FDIC Insurance
Coverage from $250K to $2M via participation in the New SoFi FDIC
Insurance Network
SoFi Technologies, Inc. (“SoFi”), the digital personal finance
company, announced that its SoFi Checking and Savings members will
be able to protect their deposits with access to up to $2 million
of FDIC insurance¹, increased from the industry standard $250,000
per account. SoFi Checking and Savings is able to offer additional
FDIC insurance through the SoFi FDIC Insurance Network, a newly
created partnership with multiple banks designed to provide the
best benefits to SoFi members. All SoFi Checking and Savings
members will be eligible to increase their FDIC insurance coverage,
by allowing SoFi to seamlessly place their deposits beyond the
standard insurance coverage with specifically identified FDIC
insured partner banks. This benefit is now available for new SoFi
Checking and Savings members and, over the next week, existing
members will be notified via email when they become eligible.
“It’s our goal to help people get their money right, which we
know goes hand in hand with feeling good about the safety of their
funds,” said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi. “By offering access to up
to $2 million in FDIC insurance, we are making sure our members
have peace of mind about their money at SoFi. We know the last few
weeks have been unnerving for many consumers, and we hope this
helps. We will keep pushing ourselves to drive innovation to better
meet our members' needs and ensure they have complete trust in
us.”
SoFi members will be able to opt in to increased FDIC insurance
through the SoFi app or website with one click. New members will
have the opportunity to enroll when completing their sign up for
Checking and Savings.
The SoFi FDIC Insurance Network is a network of partner banks
that allows SoFi to offer additional insurance seamlessly. The
network will functionally allow members the benefits of multiple
accounts by offering enhanced insurance, while providing
uninterrupted access to all their funds within SoFi Checking and
Savings.
SoFi Checking and Savings offers an award-winning member
experience, including a 4.00% savings account APY (Annual
Percentage Yield)² for members with direct deposit, up to 2-day
early paychecks³ and no fee Overdraft Coverage⁴, with the goal of

insurance is the next phase of how SoFi Checking and Savings is
offering members extra security for their funds and empowering them
to get their money right.
