SoFi is a NASDAQ public trade bank(Ticker: SOFI). It is very popular as a new FinTech company that offers financial solutions online(checking, saving, credit card, mortgage, personal loan, student loan, and brokerage account). It acquires the bank charter this February and started to offer a very attractive APR: of 1.8% for its checking account. The only requirement to have this APR is you must set up a Direct Deposit from your employer. Compared with other banks, this is very easy to meet, and you don’t need a high account balance to be qualified for this high APR. A high APR is certainly helping us anti-inflation in this inflation period.
