How to download your SoFi statements

The fastest way to get the monthly PDF statements from SoFi that you need for a profit & loss statement: the official PDFs, with the printed balances that let every figure reconcile.

UPDATED JULY 2026 · WRITTEN BY A LICENSED CPA · RAPIDPNL
THE SHORT VERSION
  • Statements live under your profile in a Documents or Statements section, in both the app and sofi.com.
  • Checking and Savings share one combined monthly statement; the credit card statements are separate.
  • Statements are typically available back to account opening, and at least the last couple of years.
  • Download the monthly statement PDF, not the transaction export; the export has no printed balances to reconcile against.

Where SoFi keeps your statements

Profile → Documents → Statements

Statements are easiest to download on a desktop browser rather than the mobile app. If the exact wording differs from the steps below, look for “Statements” or “Statements & Documents”; banks tuck it under the account or a top-level menu.

Step by step

  1. 01SoFi works well in the app, but you can also sign in at sofi.com in a desktop browser.
  2. 02Open your profile or account menu and look for “Documents,” “Statements,” or “Statements & documents.”
  3. 03Choose the banking product: SoFi Checking and Savings issues one combined monthly statement covering both balances.
  4. 04Select the month; the statement opens as a PDF.
  5. 05Save the PDF, then repeat for each month, and grab SoFi credit card statements separately if you carry the card.
Download the PDF, not a screenshot or a spreadsheet export. RapidPnL reads the official statement PDF because it carries the beginning and ending balances. That's what lets us prove your P&L reconciles to the penny. SoFi Checking and Savings is one account with one combined statement covering both the checking and savings balances, so you don't need to hunt for a separate savings statement. The SoFi credit card is a different product with its own statements.

From the mobile app

The desktop site is the reliable route, but if you only have your phone, most months are reachable from the app too. Menu placement changes more often on mobile, so treat these as the general path rather than exact taps.

  1. 01Open the SoFi app and sign in.
  2. 02Tap your profile icon, then find “Documents” or “Statements.”
  3. 03Pick the banking product and the month, then save the PDF to Files or share it to yourself.
  4. 04If the app won't save cleanly, sofi.com in a desktop browser lists the same PDFs.

How far back can you go?

SoFi typically keeps statements available online back to when the account opened; at least the last couple of years are generally listed. If you need older statements than appear online, contact the bank to request them.

Turn those statements into a P&L

Upload the PDFs and get a management-use profit & loss in minutes, with every statement reconciled to the penny. $49 for 3 months, then $9 each additional month. Full refund if we can't reconcile.

The free statement is read, categorized, and reconciled on screen before you pay anything. One per person; no card required.

What the statement PDF contains, and why it matters

A monthly statement is more than a list of transactions. It prints three things a raw export never does: the beginning balance, the ending balance, and the totals for the cycle. Those printed balances are what make the document verifiable. RapidPnL adds the beginning balance to every transaction on the statement and checks that the result equals the printed ending balance, to the penny. If the math holds, you know nothing was missed, misread, or counted twice. If it doesn't, the statement is flagged and reviewed rather than quietly delivered with broken numbers. No AI-generated figure ever lands on the P&L; the AI only reads and categorizes, and deterministic code does all of the arithmetic.

This is exactly why transaction exports and screenshots fall short. A CSV export is a bare list with no printed balances, so there is nothing independent to check it against; a missing week or a duplicated day would pass unnoticed. Screenshots and photos are worse: they capture part of a page, at whatever quality your screen and camera allow, with no totals at all. The official monthly statement PDF is the one document your bank has already committed to, balances included, which is why it's the required input.

Format matters too. Statements downloaded from your bank's website are text-based PDFs: the characters are real text that software can read precisely. A scanned paper statement is a picture of text, and pictures introduce read errors that no reconciliation gate can fully repair. If all you have is paper, it's almost always faster to download the digital original from online banking than to scan. Each PDF can be up to 10 MB, which comfortably fits even long business statements.

Finally, gather everything in one pass. If the business runs through a checking account, a savings account, and a credit card, download all of them for every month in your period. RapidPnL matches card payments between the bank and card statements so the payment isn't counted once as a bank withdrawal and again as card spending, and transfers between your own accounts are excluded from income and expenses entirely. One complete set of PDFs, uploaded together, produces one clean P&L; a partial set leaves gaps you would otherwise have to explain to a lender.

If something goes wrong

The problems below cover most of what goes sideways when downloading statements from SoFi, with the quickest way out of each.

You can't find a separate savings statement

There isn't one. SoFi Checking and Savings issues a single combined statement showing both balances, and RapidPnL handles the internal moves between them so nothing double-counts.

You downloaded a CSV or export instead

The activity export is a transaction list without printed balances, so it fails reconciliation. Return to the Documents area and take the dated monthly statement PDF.

A month seems to be missing

The newest statement posts a few days after the cycle closes, and a new account has nothing until its first cycle ends. Statement cycles may also not match calendar months, so check the neighboring statements.

The PDF asks for a password

Some banks protect emailed statements with a password (often a date of birth or ZIP format described in the email). Download from the Documents area instead; those PDFs typically open without one, and RapidPnL needs an unlocked PDF.

The account is closed

Download the full history before closing if you still can. If access is already gone, contact SoFi support and request statement copies for the months you need.

What the statements become

Common questions

How many months of SoFi statements should I download?

For a profit & loss statement, download every month in the period you want to cover; most business loans ask for 3, 6, or 12 months. RapidPnL covers 3 statement-months for $49, then $9 per additional month.

Should I download a PDF or export transactions to Excel/CSV?

Download the monthly statement PDF. A transaction export usually lacks the beginning and ending balances that let RapidPnL prove every statement reconciles to the penny. The official PDF has them.

How far back do SoFi statements go online?

SoFi typically keeps statements available online back to when the account opened; at least the last couple of years are generally listed.

Do credit card statements work too?

Yes. Upload your business checking and any business credit card statements together. RapidPnL matches card payments to your bank so nothing gets double-counted.

What happens if a statement doesn't reconcile?

Every statement is checked: beginning balance plus every transaction must equal the printed ending balance. Anything that doesn't reconcile is flagged and reviewed instead of being delivered silently, and if your statements can't be reconciled at all, you get a full refund.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. One statement of up to 15 pages runs free (an account is required) and the result appears on screen. There is also an interactive demo built on fictional data if you'd rather look around first.
