Let’s keep it real: Who isn’t looking to make and save a little more money this year? Managing finances can get complicated. You need a banking account, you might be paying off debt, you have to look after your investment portfolio… (Seriously, they don’t teach this stuff in school.)

But what if we told you there’s a one-stop-shop to manage your finances in one place and a financial membership that could unlock $1,000 in benefits across banking, investing, spending, and more? It exists—and we’re happy to report that the new SoFi Plus* is America’s most rewarding financial membership, all in one app. In case you’re unfamiliar, SoFi is the next-gen finance app that lets you bank, borrow, protect and invest your money all in one place. And luckily, they just released a new premium membership service—SoFi Plus—that will help users unlock unbelievable benefits, like earning the highest Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on your savings to unlimited one-on-one sessions with their team of financial planners, all at a truly unbeatable price (more on that later).

Here’s Why We Love It:

With SoFi, you can manage your finances all in one place, which is a game changer. Their new SoFi Plus premium membership offers a variety of features that can *majorly* upgrade your finance game. For starters, SoFi Plus members could unlock $1,000 (or higher) in annual value across banking, investing, spending and more. How, you may ask? We’re about to break it all down.

*SoFi Checking and Savings and SoFi Credit Cards are products offered by SoFi Bank, N.A. Member FDIC. Loans originated by SoFi Bank, N.A., NMLS #696891 (www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org). Equal Housing Lender.
