SoFi - Approved

I get bored and curious way too much...  I never got the invite to apply but I did start playing with the SoFi ecosystem by opening a checking account and dumping 5k on the investment side. I know this post is for credit cards, but I will tell you the platform for the investment side is really simple to use but is not as simple as the Robinhood interface... Back to the credit card. I unfroze my Experian.  I was instantly approved for $15,000 with an APR of 16.99%. I don't really know if it's going to be enough to replace my NFCU-Flagship as a daily driver... Here are my specs:

 

  • LMFAO / 24 - I don't think I'll ever get a cool Chase card, but I do have their Amazon, Hyatt, IHG, and Disney
  • They pulled FICO-9, which is at 773
  • 12 inquiries in the past 12 months, so they're not annoying like Citi
  • 2% utilization

One thing I will say about the new fintech companies is they have the process pretty smooth. I was able to seamlessly add the card to both Apple and Google Pay; however, for some reason, Samsung Pay wasn't an option.SOFI Approval.jpg

CONGRATS @sto0pyd !

 

I have very similar #s as yours and have been with SoFi with the money account since day 1 and they never got back to me with an invite either.

 

You said they pull FiCO 9, which CRA?

 

EDIT: Nevermind about which CRA, I missed the part about you unfreezing Experian, so that is the FICO 09 they pulled. Smiley Happy
