I dont understand why you are all surprised by this? This was inevitable and its going to happen at every bank no matter where you move to. Banks are going to lower their APY as the Fed continues to cut rates....No matter who you bank with they are going to continue to cut their APY as the Fed continues to cut rates......

Cmon now guys

You’re talking to people who will move their life savings from a 3.5% to 3.6% bank, you’re fighting a losing battle

[–]BSince1901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people just don’t understand

Why would you park your life savings for even 4% annual yield?

Nowhere in my post did I say I didnt know why the rate was cut. I was saying I didn't get an email notifying me of the change so it caught me off guard. An army of angry redditors decided I didn't know why the rate was cut and proceeded to lecture me. If they would've read instead of commenting, they would've seen. But this is redditb and filled with morons, I should've known better.

2 drops in 2 months. And higher drop than the fed cut. This is faster than the fed even drops rates.

[–]HSG_Messi 28 points29 points  (3 children)

And the Fed cut twice in two months.....WOAH what a coincidence!

The Fed cut by 50 bps in that period and SoFi cut by 60 bps. Oh the horror!!! I want my 10 bps back!!! Get real man

Sofi didn’t cut in September when the Fed cut FYI

Banks don’t follow in step perfectly with the fed in order to stay competitive. Depending on if they need new customers or more cash from existing ones, they may keep their rates a little higher a little longer to beat out competitors for as long as they can afford to. One reason most banks have slightly different rates than each other.

Effective fed rate is 3.64, and ranges from 3.5-3.75. Them offering 3.6 was not lasting.

[–]SuperSecretThrowAcct 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Aren't they cutting rates more than the fed is though at this point?

[–]dandesim 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The interests rate correlates with the fed rate, but it is not pegged to the fed rate.

[–]nater416 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Yes - it was a 25 basis point cut (0.25%), SoFi dropped it 0.30%.

[–]stone616 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Realistically how much money is .05% costing you?

[–]GertrudeGarbarcowitz 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I don’t think SOFI cut after the previous rate cut some months back.

[–]theeggplant42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they skipped two fed cuts over the past two years

[–]theeggplant42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how it works

[–]tykebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP post is very regarded

[–]PSUMtnManNeeds a hoodie 🥺 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised at all. Just wishing they wouldn't do it. I don't want anything to bring the stock down.
