Let’s keep it real: Who isn’t looking to make and save a little more money this year? Managing finances can get complicated. You need a banking account, you might be paying off debt, you have to look after your investment portfolio… (Seriously, they don’t teach this stuff in school.)

But what if we told you there’s a one-stop-shop to manage your finances in one place and a financial membership that could unlock $1,000 in benefits across banking, investing, spending, and more? It exists—and we’re happy to report that the new SoFi Plus* is America’s most rewarding financial membership, all in one app. In case you’re unfamiliar, SoFi is the next-gen finance app that lets you bank, borrow, protect and invest your money all in one place. And luckily, they just released a new premium membership service—SoFi Plus—that will help users unlock unbelievable benefits, like earning the highest Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on your savings to unlimited one-on-one sessions with their team of financial planners, all at a truly unbeatable price (more on that later).

Here’s Why We Love It:

With SoFi, you can manage your finances all in one place, which is a game changer. Their new SoFi Plus premium membership offers a variety of features that can *majorly* upgrade your finance game. For starters, SoFi Plus members could unlock $1,000 (or higher) in annual value across banking, investing, spending and more. How, you may ask? We’re about to break it all down.

1. Get One-on-One Personal Finance Assistance

SoFi Plus unlocks the benefit of unlimited one-on-one sessions—specifically, appointments with SoFi Wealth's team of financial planners so they can help you make a plan to achieve your goals. It’s like having a therapist for your money goals—so whether you’re just getting started or planning for retirement, SoFi financial planners can help advise you on your unique needs.

2. Higher APY on Savings

Plus, SoFi Plus members get the highest APY on savings balances (3.80%** APY on Bank savings balances, to be exact), helping you earn more on the money you already have without even having to do anything.

3. Cash Back Rewards on SoFi Credit Cards

Those with SoFi Plus can also earn a 10% boost on cash back rewards when using SoFi credit cards, so you’re getting way more bang for your buck.

4. Unlimited 1% Matches on Recurring Deposits into Invest Account

Oh, and when you set up recurring deposits to SoFi Invest, you can earn an unlimited 1% match, paid in SoFi rewards points. When combined with the power of compounding returns, investing $7K a year for over 40 years could put you on a path to retiring a millionaire.

5. Discounted Tickets to Exclusive Events

Aside from monetary rewards, SoFi Plus members will also get exclusive access to VIP sports and music events.
