- Commission-free stock, ETF, and options trades
- Fractional shares available.
- Cryptocurrency trading
- $1 account minimums
Personal Loan
I have a personal loan with SoFI not only because I bank with them, but because they offer competitive fees, they have an easy application process, and did I mention how much I loved their user interface? To sum it up, they offer -

- Low rates
