Get Paid up to Two Days Early With SoFi Money

SoFi today announced that SoFi Money, its cash-management product offered by SoFi Securities LLC that helps people save and spend smarter, will now offer members the ability to receive their direct-deposit paychecks (or other eligible direct deposits) up to two days earlier than their regularly scheduled payday.*

With quicker access to the money they have already earned, members can get a head start on paying their bills, investing in the markets, saving, and making other smart money decisions to build their financial futures. For example, according to internal data, SoFi members with direct deposit set up are over five times more likely to have a savings program and have twice as much in investment assets as those who do not. And for those times it’s needed, SoFi Money’s early paycheck program and the recently launched no-fee overdraft coverage** alleviate two primary drivers of finance-related stress and protect consumers from overdraft fees, of which banks collected over $30 billion last year.

“We’ve frequently hear from members, regardless of how much they make, that they want early paycheck, and we are thrilled to be able to launch it now,” said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi. “With our early paycheck program, we are giving people access to their hard-earned money in a way - and at a time - that allows them to maximize their financial choices. Some might not think that two days matters, but I can tell you firsthand - it MATTERS.”

SoFi’s early paycheck program will work by posting ACH transactions upon notification of incoming funds from the transferring institution. The program is available to any SoFi Money member who opts to set up a qualifying direct deposit.
