SoFi sucks. I tried to open an account and had to talk to three different reps. Then, they wanted me to send copies of the front and back of my drivers license, so I made excellent scans in two formats on a flatbed scanner. Then, they tell me I have to freaking use my phone to take photos of the license and can't submit the perfect scans I took. And then, they also want me to take a selfie and send it, too. Why do they need a selfie when I'm sending my photo ID? Do they think I might be using someone else's license to make an account for myself so they can steal my money? What morons. I told SoFi where to stick it. No other online bank asks for all these things to open an account.

Can you explain the direct-deposit requirement to be eligible for the 4.0 APY? I have direct deposit set up with a local ban checking account, must I have to have my paycheck switched to direct deposit with Sofi checking to have the 4.0 APY? Or does it simply mean I have to set up direct deposit so I can transfer money manually to my Sofi HYSA and still earn the 4.0 APY?

I've been a WF customer for at least 10 years. Never cared for their robo service, but I've had a cash account since they became available. But now for me, The risk to reward factor at WF has gotten to high. Why risk to get 4.5% when I can get 4.45% at Schwab in a money market fund (it's just as accessible & SPIC) , or 5.5% in a MYGA or CD if I want to tied it up for 3 months to multiple years.

I’ve never taken money out of my savings at an ATM. So never experienced it. But that’s pretty common. Sometimes the bank itself won’t charge you a fee, but the third party bank that is giving you the money on behalf of your bank WILL charge you a fee. That’s how they make their money. In some cases as well, your bank may reimburse you the fee that third party bank will charge you.

Not a bad bank. But, here is what I noticed. UFB was not paying the expected amount of interest to my HYSA, based on my calculations. What they paid was still good, don't get me wrong. I have a HYSA with a different bank, with the exact same balance and same interest rate as my account with UFB. The other bank paid more in interest. There are a few articles online that you can research about similar issues.

High Debit card limits if needed,, permanant or temp... The etrade side doesnt offer Zelle yet,, but there premium side of Morgan Stanley does,, as well as Cashiers Checks, and overnight free debit card and replacement... so def a great benefit...
