[Update 6/19/19: Bonus has been increased to $50 for referrer and $50 for new member. Do Not Leave Your Referral Again if you already left it below. I’ve removed all the referral links which don’t include the word ‘money’ in them since those are the old links which don’t work anymore. If you left the old link and it was removed, feel free to leave the new link now. (ht Kyran and Ryan Goldstein)]
SoFi offers a competitive checking/savings account which earns 2.25% APY interest called SoFi Money. They recently sent out a referral offer:
- New member gets
$25$50 bonus when signing up with a referral link and funding the account $100. - Referrer gets
$25$50 as well.
It’s probably not worth signing up just for the $25 bonus, but if you’re signing up anyway it’s an easy bonus. Could also make a bit of sense for someone in 2-player mode since it’ll be a $50 net bonus. SoFi’s rates are competitive at 2.25%, though not at the top accounts which offer 2.50-2.51%. Check out our review of the SoFi savings account here. Compare all High Yield Savings accounts on this dedicated page. Some people like the SoFi account since it’s the highest yield checking account available if you like keeping healthy balances there. We wrote about various options for high-yield checking accounts here.
They also offer a bonus for referring a friend for a student loan or personal loan: referrer gets $300 and new member gets $100. (There may be better deals out there on this so scour the internet.)

Hat tip to readers Ryan Goldstein and Chief Loss Leader
Chuck I see you updated the article, but just a suggestion, you may want to invalidate all the non-money links. Or, at least a bigger warning. I signed up the night the changeover happened where the Share links stopped showing the Money offer. I used a non-Money link, and it didn’t pay out on either end. But, I am eligible to refer others to Money apparently because I collected a referral bonus on 6/19.
Okay, maybe I’ll delete the non-money links
I searched the thread, but could not find your referral link. You’re a helpful community member and I wanted to reward you.
I had one posted but thinking it got pulled because the original was listed without “money”. Edit: Chuck said to repost.
Used yours from your website. Hope someone will use mine!
Thank you.
I noticed when you sort by newest it doesn’t show all the comments only the latest.
Partial because a post is pinned – but if you hit newest and scroll down – it should keep loading older links – sometimes it just shows a finite number mainly I noticed on my phone.
I’m seeing this current Sofi Money with higher bonus “spammed” by a lot of the Churning bloggers.
Seems like all the blogs I read are pushing this hard – Thinking that its a unicorn that could quickly disappear – so I would get your friends and family to sign up – they can even mobile deposit a check to fund the account with the $100 (unless they just don’t have checks or ever deal with them).
Used your link!
Thank you!
Thanks for your helpful comments in this thread! Used your link on Sunday and saw my bonus posted today 🙂
Thank you. Yeah, SoFi is paying out super fast. I am surprised they haven’t revamped the signup bonus and referral payout terms, but it’s been working very well.
When can we cash out?
As soon as shown as available. Bonus is available for withdrawal same day, showing up faster than the account funding. No fees, and no mention of a early closing fee. https://www.sofi.com/money/fees/
My bonus posted last Friday and still not available. I finally emailed them today to ask how long they keep a hold on it.
They were prompt to reply, even during evening hours, that the hold is approx. 5 business days and I should expect it to become available tomorrow.
That comment was from June. They were posting the bonus the next day, no hold. About a month or so ago, beginning of Sept I think, they started holding the bonuses about a calendar week or so. Not sure why it changed, but still reasonably quick, esp. since when you factor in that it doesn’t require a DD. And, it’s nice to see it in the queue vice being in limbo waiting.
