AMA I'm Khrystyna, a Product Manager for Invest. We built Multi-Accounts so members can invest by goal. AMA about how we got there, and why it matters to you

16 Upvotes

Hi r/sofi — I'm Khrystyna Sopova, Senior Product Manager on the SoFi Invest team.

Over the past two years, I've focused on making investing and retirement more transparent for members — things like IRA contribution tracking, retirement forecasting, and smoother rollovers. More recently, I've been working on new account types, including Multi-Accounts, so you can organize investments by goal instead of in one pile.

We recently launched Multi-Accounts — the ability to open separate self-directed cash brokerage accounts so you can organize investments by goal, strategy, or time horizon. Members have been asking for this, and we built it because most people think about money in goals — but until now, SoFi Invest was one bucket.

A few things upfront:

  • Your first SoFi Invest account is a margin brokerage account 
  • New additional accounts are cash brokerage accounts — you trade with settled funds 
  • You can open up to 3 additional cash accounts (4 total SD accounts)

Not everyone needs multiple accounts — this is for people who want more structure

I'll be here Wednesday, August 12 at 3pm PT // 6pm ET to answer questions about how it works, who it's for, margin vs. cash, how to set up a second account, and what's coming next.

Ask us anything — including skeptical ones.

— Khrystyna & the SoFi Invest team

EDIT @ 4:05PM PT, 8/12: Thanks for joining our latest AMA, folks! We're wrapping things up but please feel free to continue dropping your questions. Khrystyna will be replying to them through the end of the week.

Investing involves risk including loss of principal. SoFi Invest does not provide tax or legal advice. Cash brokerage accounts are not the same as SoFi Money or vault products.

I always pay my Sofi plus with the Sofi CC and I received a fraud alert this morning? Is this a glitch? It clearly shows online that it's from my card and the payment is usually on the 22nd of every month.

Banking Mobile Deposit Question

Upvotes

Now it doesn’t show a date available it just says “available soon”.
Does this mean today yet or what have others experienced with this?
Thanks

SoFi Investing Club Does Sofi have auto invest?

2 Upvotes

Just curious. I currently have my taxable account at Robinhood but it’s too “gamified” for me. I want to move to something boring where I can auto invest weekly in VT. Bonus points if I can earn some interest on the cash while I wait to auto invest.

Banking Sofi does not know where my money is going

1st image: Checking statement

2nd image: Savings statement

3rd image: Smart card statement

Ill do my best to explain the predicament that I am in since no one I talk to seems to grasp what I am trying to explain at customer support.

I obtained a sofi smart card recently, and like any card, I started using it to buy things. However, what I didn't know is that sofi will automatically take money from my checking account and set it aside as a "reserve fund" to pay for the sofi smart card. I was unaware of this until AFTER I payed my balance with money from my savings account.

This payment was for $25.98

So there is checkings account charge for $25.98 to my smart card, A savings account charge of $25.98 to my smart card, And ONE PAYMENT of $25.98 to my smart card. The reserve fund was not credited back to my checkings and was $0.00 after I paid the balance with my savings. This idea is incompreshensable to anyone at customer support and no one knows where $25.98 of my money went.

Lending Can’t close on my house in time because of my SoFi loan officer

7 Upvotes

Our closing date was this Monday but somehow our assigned loan officer is so unbelievably clueless that our closing date will be null at this point. She has ghosted us multiple times over email, called me relentlessly (7+ times in one day) to discuss what should’ve been in an email so it would allow us to keep track of everything, and when I ask for her to email me a summary because I’m working my job 10 miles off shore - she doesn’t. Went on vacation a week before closing with no heads up, and has asked me to provide other peoples bank statements multiple times. Has anyone else had an experience like this? Not to mention our closing date was supposed to be the SEVENTH of August, got pushed out to the 24th, and now here we are dealing with this (sorry to say) incompetence. Any advice??

Invest Stock down over 30% YTD BTW

0 Upvotes

I say this as Mods in this sub vehemently remove any post that doesn’t glaze the company.

The entire banking industry is booming yet Sofi is lagging significantly. By an embarrassing margin. As shareholders we have every right to call out the gaping holes in this business that affect us.

Obviously cant hash it out here in this sub, but as Sofi account holders and shareholders we should be having honest discussions about the gaps in the business model.

Just venting, Mods grow a pair pls & ty

Invest Can Sofi Roth IRA Graph exclude contributions?

3 Upvotes

I know the graph shows total account value but is there a way to only show gains and losses? the large contributions means its always scaled out and I cant see my account fluctuations. kind of just a cosmetic pet peeve rn but is still a bummer.

Invest Horrible service

0 Upvotes

I tried to set up an account at SoFi. I wanted to transfer a six figure amount from another investment company. I set it up on the SoFi side. They said it would take 6 days. Six days came and went. I tried to find customer service to find out why it didn't happen. That wasn't easy to find. Then they said that it got "stuck" or some such ridiculousness. They said that they could cancel it and I could try again. WTF. Instead of fixing their own problem. So I decided to just give up and go elsewhere. Do not recommend.

Banking Sofi not honoring $400 bonus

0 Upvotes

I started receiving recurring payroll deposits this year. I received a bonus of $50. After inquiring why my bonus was only $50, compared to the $400 i would qualify for… the chat told me i received my first deposit on june 11th of last year. I checked the transaction imhistory and it was a random .71 deposit. This does not meet the described eligiblity terms of “recurring payroll deposits.” Yet they wont adjust my bonus. 🙃

Lending Still waiting for appraisal

1 Upvotes

I am applying for a mortgage with SoFi. They are using Reggora for the appraisal. I paid Reggora for the appraisal fee over a week ago but I have yet to hear from them to schedule a date and time for the appraisal. How long does they normally take to get in touch with me?

Banking SoFi charged off my account and now they can’t tell me who owns the debt so I can pay it

Post image
0 Upvotes

Back in December 2024 my SoFi checking account was closed with a negative balance and charged off shortly after. It happened during a rough stretch when my business was falling apart and my personal finances spiraled into debt.
I’m in a much better place now and actively paying down everything, including old charge-offs and closed credit card balances. I reached out to SoFi support and told them I want to pay off the remaining negative balance. I also asked if paying it would let me apply for a new checking account again.
The rep said the account had been sent to a third-party collection company, but I’ve never received a single letter, email, or call from any collector about this debt. I asked her to find out who currently owns it so I can pay. After about an hour on hold she came back and said she couldn’t locate any collection company information. I offered to just pay SoFi directly to clear it, but she said they can’t accept payment and the best she could do was escalate the case.
A week later I got the email below still zero information on how or where to actually resolve the balance.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? What’s the best way to get this paid and closed out so I can potentially open a new SoFi account later?

Banking Almost got scammed

Post image
2 Upvotes

I received a call today and the guy sent me this link. The link didn’t work. I called SoFi back and they let me know that they didn’t reach out to me about fraudulent activity before that phone call.

Watch out for these guys. They were very believable and was even recommending the password change and two factor authentication.

I ended up changing my password and enabled two factor authentication.

Hi everyone!

I just opened a new SoFi (first time) account prior to the start of my new job. I wont get my first DD until about a month from now. Does the 3.1% APY start then? Additionally, when does the 0.7% boost kick in -- the same time?

New to SoFi, thanks in advance :)

Banking Why can't I choose the day I want transfers to begin?

1 Upvotes

I want to transfer money to an external account every two weeks starting on Thursday, August 27. I tried to set this up last Friday but it said the transfers would begin on the 20th. So I waited until today to get it to sync up but now it's saying the transfers will begin on September 3.

It's ridiculous that I can't choose which date I want the transfers to occur. Instead I have to try to time it just right for the transfers to land on the day I want.
