The BEST Bank Account In 2024: SoFi Checking & Savings Account Review

  • In this video, I review the SoFi checking and savings account which is one of the best bank accounts in 2024. SoFi offers one of the highest interest rates and best checking accounts and best high yield savings account in 2024, making it, in my opinion, one of the best bank accounts and the best bank in 2024.
    The SoFi checking & savings accounts offers no account fees, a cash back sofi debit card, a huge SoFi welcome bonus, and other SoFi rewards and SoFi benefits that other bank accounts don't offer making it a great place to put your money in 2024 to earn a high APY or interest rate. By the end of this videos you should know if the SoFi checking and savings account is worth it.
    Alternatives to the SoFi checking and savings account I personally like include Capital One with the Capital One 360 performance savings account, Discover high yield savings account, Amex highyield savings account and Wealthfront Cash Account.

    SoFi - from newest loyal bestie. Already set up the Checking/Savings combo account. And already used their Customer Service chat. The daily deposit limits are fairly low. It would be nice to offer an unlimited deposit amount, at least for initial account funding, and/or put the deposit on-hold until the check clears. I even offered to mail a Cashier's Check to SoFi, but that is not an option. Overall, this account is still well worth it for me. Thank you for your recommendation.

They align with mine and I knew this was coming and then I found SoFi while searching for a new bank. Then I really started to do more research. Banks have been collapsing since covid and we're the only country with around 7500 banks. I believe we're going down to just a few with no branches in the future. I believe SoFi will be a part of that future! This is my first year in the stock market as a trader/investor as well and I have to say I'm loving it! SoFi being profitable now is just a bonus. 2 more quarters of profitability and they are on the s&p index! The next two years will be huge for SoFi I believe!

    • @DayanaPlays
      @DayanaPlays  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hey, to earn 4.60% APY on your savings account, you only need to receive direct deposits of at least $1 each month. Since you'll be receiving $700 a month, you'll easily qualify.
      However, to get the $300 bonus, you need to receive direct deposits totaling $5,000 or more. Transfers from other bank accounts don't count. You can view qualifying direct deposits here: support.sofi.com/hc/en-us/articles/10546180767373-What-is-a-direct-deposit-and-what-is-considered-a-qualifying-direct-deposit

    If I'm understanding this correctly, per the sofi website, if you have direct deposit, you'll get the highest apy no matter if it's $5k
    Of course I could be misunderstanding what she said but I was left with the impression that I had to deposit $5,000 every month to maintain the highest apy.
    When I look at their website though it says to maintain the highest apy you just have to set up direct deposit
