Financial Insights
SoFi members can use SoFi Insights¹¹ to track spending before, during and after vacations, across all their bank accounts and credit cards. Before trips, members can keep an eye on all of their spending to budget ahead of a big vacation, but also easily find places to trim expenses, such as long-forgotten recurring subscriptions.

Post-vacation, members can tag expenses related to their trip and see a full breakdown of their trip’s costs, where they spent the most money, and how best to budget for their next vacation.

Travel Tips & Recommendations
With the launch of SoFi Travel, SoFi is also launching a new travel planning vertical within On the Money, a digital content hub helping members get their personal finances right with a one-stop-shop for news, trends, and tips.

In the Travel vertical, SoFi members and even non-members can access articles on financial tips for booking trips and best ways to save money while jet setting. See the new education resources here.
