Message From Our Editor

What we love about SoFi Personal Loans

SoFi offers personal loans with maximums far higher than the maximums offered by many other lenders. The company also offers highly competitive interest rates for its loans, making it one of the cheapest options on the market.

The company keeps fees to a minimum, not charging origination fees or early repayment fees. It also offers some flexibility, letting borrowers pause their payments if they lose their job.

Customers can customize their loan terms, letting them adjust the monthly payment to something that fits within their budget. Because there are no early repayment fees, there’s no penalty for choosing a low monthly payment and paying to loan off ahead of schedule.

Pre-qualifying for a loan takes minutes and won’t impact your credit. That means you can easily check if you qualify and the interest rate that SoFi will offer.

What could SoFi Personal Loans do better?

The greatest drawback of SoFi is that it primarily targets people with excellent credit. If you don’t have a good credit history, you may struggle to qualify for a loan from the company. Beyond that, there is little to complain about with the company.
