help SoFi Student Account FAQ

Can a teenager under 18 open a SoFi Student Account?

No, SoFi says its bank account holders must be at least 18 years old. The Student Checking and Savings offer is aimed at college students with a qualifying .edu email address, not minors seeking a parent-managed teen account.

Is SoFi Student Banking a separate type of checking account?

It is a student promotion attached to SoFi Checking and Savings rather than a distinct youth-account product. Opening checking also creates an integrated savings account, and the account remains usable after graduation.

Does the SoFi Student Account charge monthly fees?

SoFi advertises no monthly maintenance fee, no minimum balance fee, and no minimum opening deposit for Checking and Savings. Certain services, including outgoing wires or instant transfers, can still carry transaction fees.

What account can a 13-to-17-year-old use instead of SoFi?

Chase High School Checking is designed for students ages 13 through 17 and requires a parent or guardian as co-owner. That structure differs from SoFi, which requires the account holder to be at least 18.
