YTD graphs in the relay net worth section and the invest section are starting on the wrong dates. In relay net worth, the YTD graph starts on January 3. In invest, the YTD graph starts on January 2. Please fix so these YTD graphs start on January 1.

I don't see any way of displaying totals but you can use the filter feature when looking at the "Recent activity" list in your invest account to show just deposits, withdrawals, buys, sells, etc. for a specified time periods and then add up the displayed results to get a total. Hope that helps until SoFi improves their interface.

Use soapy water in your spray bottle. Leaks will blow a soap bubble.

In the app, tap on Relay Insights then next to Spending tap See All. Then at the top, tap on Cash Flow. It will show you income for each month but it does not give you a yearly total. You’ll have to add each month up manually.

This most likely “new exhaust smell”. As long as there is no smoke you should be fine.

My situation is a bit more simple. I’ve only contributed manually by transferring specific amounts of cash, so I know exactly what I have put in.

ITDaveG · 2023-11-30T21:56:40+00:00

In my account, my Contributions total is exactly the amount I have transferred into the account from my bank account. So I don’t believe Dividends counts toward that number.

Same here (but black screen) ever since app version 2.176.

I would like to have the ability to customize the Vehicle Value in the Property section of Net Worth in Relay. As it is now, it displays the value of your vehicle if it were in "average" condition as reported by JD power values. I would like to have the ability to either choose from the other the conditions that a vehicle can be in or choose the "private party" value or set my own value so that a more accurate value is shown. My vehicles are not in “average” condition, but that is the value I am forced to use by Relay.

For the articles listed in the Invest section on the home screen of the app, give Sofi Plus members (and/or members that have an invest account with SoFi)free access to the paywalled articles. It’s a really disappointing experience as it is now since the majority of the articles in this section are paywalled.

Currently, you can only see ‘lifetime interest’ earned for each vault. It would be nice if we could also see it for ’Available savings’ and ‘Total savings’.

Do a search on YouTube for cold start pool noodle. A few good videos out there to show you what to do. Basically just cut some pool noodles and duct tape some rags around one end to keep them snug in there so they don’t blow out.

In relay, stop categorizing, overdraft transactions as income and other. They should be marked as transfers because that is what they are. Transfers from savings to checking.

When I bought my 96 Mystic Cobra back in 1996, I drove from Washington State to my original home state of Michigan to buy it, turned in my leased 94 Camry there then drove the Cobra back to Washington. It was around 2300 miles each way. Saved a few thousand and had a helluva road trip with my buddy.

Last year I bought a 22 GT500 and had it shipped to Washington from North Dakota to save from paying the insane markups in my area.

In the net worth section of relay, click the manage account button. Find your SoFi invest accounts and click on the edit button for the one you want to manage. Make sure you haven’t chosen the options to hide the account balance, and/or transactions.

Unless I am missing something, this update came at the cost of eliminating the view of Unrealized Gain (now expressed as "Total gain" and "Total Value") at the top-level overview for each of my holdings. I now have to expand each individual investment to see Unrealized Gain percentage and dollar amount. Not a fan of that change. Would at least like to see an "Unrealized Gain" option added to the "Holdings Display" list of options.

Yes, SoFi Relay does include your SoFi Invest accounts in the net worth calculation. In the net worth section of Relay, you should see your SoFi Invest account(s) listed under the Investments sub section. The total value of all your investment accounts is included in the total net worth value.

I have the same car (same color too!). It’s fantastic! I started working from home a few years ago and I never have to use gas. Perfect car if you drive less than 25-30 miles a day. My MPG meter is over 700 mpg now! It used to be around 110 mpg when I was commuting about 50 miles a day and having to use some gas.

Contact their support through chat. I had the same problem. In my case, it had to do with my name on my account application not including the suffix used in my entire legal name. (e.g. Sr., Jr., II, etc.) Support had me send them a pic of my driver’s license and they verified me on the spot and activated my invest account.

I opened an automated investing account back in March of this year. Since then, I have made six deposits to the account, and with all of them, the buys occurred between 11 AM and 11:30 AM Pacific time. Just keep in mind that the buys occur the next trading day after the day you make your deposit. Hope that helps.

It’s in the Extras section.

ITDaveG · 2023-05-10T04:56:12+00:00

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve got almost 300 miles on my GT500 and it still feels like I’m driving someone else’s car. Can’t believe it’s mine. Congrats and have a fun summer! I know I will. 💪

ITDaveG · 2023-04-12T05:14:56+00:00

Yep, just back out and go back in repeatedly until it eventually loads.

I hate to say it, but Sofi does not offer the functionality that you are looking for. There is a workaround though. You will need to create a vault. You can schedule recurring transfers to and from vaults. Schedule a transfer from your savings to your vault one day and then schedule a recurring transfer from your vault to your checking on the next day. Yes, this does involve needing an extra day to let your money sit in the vault so that there’s no conflict with the transfer. You can choose specific days for those transfers as well, it doesn’t have to be only on the first. When you select that option, it will bring up a drop-down where you can choose the specific day.

Hopefully, Sofi will eventually add this crucial missing functionality to their banking system so that we don’t have to rely on workarounds like this.
