No it does not. Granted I just moved money into them for their promotion for new money but it is 3.3% vs. 3.5% at Sofi. Honestly best my money is doing is in Robinhood making 4%. But you do have to pay for gold which is $5

My wife got hers but I did not. I submitted a case and they just denied my promotion because "I did not get email or app notification" I will be fighting this. Luckily I have chats throughout the process confirming I qualified.
Opened in good faith, did a direct deposit of $5k from my business account - they denied that it was a direct deposit even though it satisfied their terms to the letter. They refused to give me the increased percent and the bonus. I pulled $200k out of these jokers.
Discovered this scammy behavior yesterday. In the process of moving to SoFi right now.

Exact same thing happened to me too
I just requested to have my direct deposit changed to SoFi through my employer, but it might take some time to take effect. Hoping this gets extended!

If DD is to checking, does the savings account still get 4% rate?
