Guru’s Wrap-up
A nice offer for those who can switch their direct deposit easily. It should be available to everyone who has, or opens, a SoFi Money account. You just need to complete a $1,00 direct deposit to get your $100 bonus.
It says “Existing members without a prior history of Direct Deposit transactions (“Direct Deposit”) are automatically enrolled in the Program at the start of the enrollment period.” Not very clear, but I think it’s for first time DDs only.
I’ve received DD bonus in the past for my existing money account. Am I correctly assuming I’m eligible for this as well and that there’s no need to register?
