Money management is an important skill to have, and unfortunately, it's one that most of us learn along the way as adults. Social Finance, commonly known as SoFi, is a great platform for building your financial knowledge.
Once you feel like you have a handle on everything, you may consider other services, but what happens to your SoFi account? If you are no longer taking advantage of SoFi's offerings, DoNotPay can help you .
Reasons to Delete Your SoFi Account
Before you delete your account, you should review your holdings with SoFi. By following the steps to close your product accounts before you you can redirect any outstanding funds before you make the call to support and save yourself time on the phone.
Moving Your Checking Account to a Different Bank
If SoFi caught your eye while you were shopping around for checking accounts, you may have found the early payday, lack of ATM fees, and free overdraft protection enticing. As your finances changed, you may have found a bank that better suits your needs for any number of reasons.
If you're looking to move away from SoFi Money's cash management account, you will need to meet the following three conditions to close your account online:
- Pending transactions
- No connected bank account
- One or more active debit card disputes
This ensures that you get the correct amount of money remaining in your account transferred to your new bank. If you cannot close your account online, you can contact support at 855-456-7634.
Using a Different Credit Card
You cannot close your SoFi credit card account online. You must call support at 844-945-7634 to get your account closed. Unlike the Money Management and Invest account support lines, representatives are available 24 hours a day. You can close your account if there is a balance on your card, but you are still responsible for paying it.
Using a Different Investment Broker
If you are trying to move your investments out of a SoFi account, you must complete the steps below before your account can be closed:
- Cancel any pending or recurring deposits
- Cancel any recurring purchases
- Sell or transfer any holdings within the account
- Have a $0 balance in your account
- Have a $0 balance in any linked cryptocurrency accounts
Once you have a zero balance in your SoFi Invest account, you can close your account online or through the SoFi app.
Stale Account or Forgotten Password
If you stopped using SoFi but left your account open, you left yourself open to password and identity theft. Closing your account means bad actors have one less way to try and get your information. If you simply forgot your password, you can call support so you can close your account without it.
