Bank Daily Mobile Deposit Limit 30-Day Limit
Schwab $100,000 Not published
Fidelity $100,000 Not published

Chime $2,000 $10,000
Chase $2,000 $5,000
Bank of America $2,500 $10,000

SoFi’s $5,000 daily limit is moderate — higher than traditional banks like Chase or Bank of America, but lower than Ally, Discover, and significantly lower than Schwab or Fidelity. The 30-day rolling limit of $10,000 may be restrictive for users who regularly deposit large checks.


What to Do if Your Check Exceeds $5,000

If you receive a check above SoFi’s $5,000 daily mobile deposit limit:

Option How
Split deposits over 2+ days Deposit $5,000 today, remainder tomorrow (subject to 30-day limit)
ACH transfer from external bank No SoFi cap on ACH pulls
Wire transfer Incoming domestic wire: free, same-day
In-person deposit SoFi has no branches; use ACH or wire

If the check is above $10,000 (your 30-day cap), contact SoFi support at 1-855-456-7634 to request a temporary limit increase.
