-Mar, opened/completed Wells Fargo and received in 3 mts (June) the $325 Bonus.
-Apr, opened/completed Chase and received the $225 bonus immediately (same month) after direct deposit was made.
-Today, opened US Bank and setup direct deposit to receive the $400 bonus after 2 or more deposits totaling $4,000 or more.
I am now researching BMO Harris and their $500 cash bonus when you have a total of at least $7,500 in qualifying direct deposits within the first 90 days.

As an aside, I expect them to reduce the interest rate within 6 months. Just like insurance and cable providers, once they have you they know you'll be too lazy to leave.

There's no cap.
And they've been steadily raising the rate as the fed rate increased.
Also got a $600 bonus for a personal loan which I paid off right after the bonus deposited.
Love SoFi.

Too bad it doesn't keep up with inflation, but it's better than losing money in the stock market.
You can put physical cash INTO an Atm to deposit? I never knew that.
Like:
Rates
App (collective view of assets)
Connects to other banks (third party)
Dislike:
Only acct type, no multiple checking accts
Bill Pay; I have 3 credit cards with Chase, but they do not show anything except the last 4 of the card numbers and that it belongs to Chase
Bill Pay; funds always come out of the checking acct, you cannot select the acct which makes me transfer funds sometimes
That said I transfer money often to USAA who still handles paying the bills since their bill pay is way ahead of SoFi. SoFi seems great and def a good bank to stash cash.
Not crytpo rates but we've seen those trustworthy brokers collapse. I'm satisfied with SoFi

"Qualifying Direct Deposits are defined as deposits from an enrolled member's employer, payroll, or benefits provider via ACH deposit. Deposits that are not from an employer (such as check deposits; P2P transfers such as from PayPal or Venmo, etc.; merchant transactions such as from PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.; and bank ACH transfers not from employers) do not qualify for this promotion."
Huh? 2% is the interest you will earn on your deposit with them.
Loans are not 2%.

Yea, that is correct. I started with Sofi thanks to their 1.25%. Now it's 2%.
They are very quick to match rates
