SoFi Bank charges $0 monthly fee, $0 ATM fees at 55,000+ Allpoint ATMs, and $0 foreign transaction fees. SoFi does not reimburse out-of-network ATM surcharges. The SoFi Checking and Savings account is one of the most fee-free accounts available in 2026.

Correction note (September 19, 2026): This page previously stated SoFi savings pays “up to 4.60% with direct deposit” and “~1.20%” without. Both were incorrect. SoFi’s official rate sheet shows non-Plus members earn 3.10% APY with an Eligible Direct Deposit or $5,000+ in Qualifying Deposits (0.80% without), and only SoFi Plus subscribers ($10/month) can reach 4.50% APY, and only on balances up to $20,000-$40,000. See the SoFi savings account guide for the full structure and sourcing. SoFi’s outgoing domestic wire fee is $30 (incoming domestic wires are free), per sofi.com.

SoFi’s Free Allpoint ATM Network

SoFi gives members access to 55,000+ Allpoint ATMs at no charge. Allpoint ATMs are located at:

  • Walgreens
  • CVS
  • Target
  • Costco
  • Dollar General
  • Rite Aid
  • Many other retailers

Use the Allpoint ATM locator (allpointnetwork.com) or the SoFi app to find the nearest fee-free ATM.

Important: SoFi does not reimburse fees when you use an ATM outside the Allpoint network. Out-of-network ATM operators may charge $2.50–$4.00 per withdrawal, and SoFi will not credit this back.


SoFi vs Other Fee-Free Banks

Bank Monthly Fee ATM Reimbursement Foreign Tx Fee
SoFi $0 None (Allpoint free) $0
Schwab $0 Unlimited worldwide $0
Fidelity $0 Unlimited worldwide $0
Ally $0 $10/mo (OON) $0
Discover $0 None (Allpoint free) $0
Chime $0 None (Allpoint/MoneyPass) $0

SoFi’s fee structure is comparable to Chime and Discover — excellent at in-network ATMs, but no safety net for out-of-network use. For travelers who need global ATM access, Schwab and Fidelity are stronger.


Savings APY: SoFi’s Major Advantage

While SoFi has no unique fee advantage over Schwab or Fidelity, its savings APY with qualifying direct deposit is a standout:

Product APY
SoFi Savings (non-Plus, w/ Eligible DD or $5K+ Qualifying Deposits) 3.10%
SoFi Savings (non-Plus, without) 0.80%
SoFi Savings (SoFi Plus, $10/mo, balance ≤$20K-$40K) Up to 4.50%
SoFi Checking 0.50%
Schwab Savings 0.48% (confirm current rate)
Ally High Yield Savings Confirm current rate

Setting up Eligible Direct Deposit (or $5,000+ in Qualifying Deposits) unlocks SoFi’s 3.10% non-Plus rate; reaching the 4.50% tier requires a separate $10/month SoFi Plus subscription.
