Banks Like SoFi

SoFi’s Checking and Savings hybrid account is one of the best, but it’s not perfect. To earn the savings account’s highest 3.80% APY, you have to either be a Plus member, which requires setting up direct deposit or paying a $10 monthly subscription fee, or non-Plus members must deposit at least $5,000 per month to get the highest savings APY. SoFi only has one credit card option with so-so rewards, and it doesn’t have any banking options for kids or seniors. And as an online bank, SoFi just isn’t suited for frequent cash deposits or when you need in-person customer support.

7 banks like SoFi

• For all-in-one banking: Current
• For cashback rewards: Varo

Current is a fintech company with banking services backed by Choice Financial Group and Cross River Bank. Like SoFi, Current offers an all-in-one bank account with no monthly fees, overdraft fees or opening deposit requirements. Current also has an envelope feature similar to SoFi's vault feature, with Current letting you split up your savings into 'pods'. You can create up to three savings pods and earn a 4% savings bonus on up to $2,000 in each pod if you set up qualifying direct deposits. However, its savings bonus has a balance limit, and its APY is lower than SoFi's. Current also stands out for its credit-building opportunities with its Current Build card with paycheck advances and no annual fees or interest charges. However, Current doesn't support joint accounts like SoFi does and doesn't offer personal, home or business financing.

Varo and SoFi are both FDIC-insured online banks. Varo's digital checking account has no monthly or overdraft fees and other perks like early direct deposit and cash advances. The crown jewel of Varo's digital checking account is the cashback rewards — up to 6% with select brands like Nike, Little Caesars, Macy's and more. SoFi also features cashback rewards, but you must activate the rewards in the app, and they can vary widely by location and merchant. With a Varo checking account, you can also get a savings account with a high 5% APY on balances up to $5,000 that requires direct deposit of at least $1,000 per month, so it's similar to SoFi's high APY requirements. Varo uses the Allpoint ATM network and accepts cash deposits at Green Dot locations just like SoFi. But Varo doesn't accept domestic or international wires or support joint accounts.

SoFi doesn't offer any teen or kid bank account options. For families looking to boost their kids' financial literacy, Greenlight is a great option.

Kids can earn allowances for completing chores, won't get charged overdraft fees, and there's an educational money game they can play. Parents get granular spending controls they can set up by category or store and can easily transfer money to their kids' account in real time. There are tools for spending, saving and earning, and you can earn up to 2% in saving rewards with the core plan and get cashback rewards. The downside is the unavoidable monthly fee, ranging from $5.99 to $24.98, and the higher-tier plans give you access to cashback rewards and safety perks.

How SoFi compares

There aren’t many real downsides to SoFi. It’s considered one of the best online banking options out there. It has a large variety of account, lending and investing services, including its hybrid checking and savings, personal loans and online investing platform called SoFi Invest®. And while SoFi is an entirely online bank, it offers 24/7 customer support over the phone.

The main downside with SoFi are the requirements to get its best savings APY. You’ve got three options, 1) set up direct deposit to become a Plus member, 2) pay $10 per month for a Plus membership, or 3) deposit at least $5,000 per month. If you don’t do at least one of those things, your savings rate drops to a meager 1.00% APY. Also, the account used to offer cashback rewards up to 15% at select merchants, but now rewards aren’t an option.
