Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against Sofi Bank for Misleading Information and Privacy Concerns To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Sofi Bank regarding their misleading practices and handling of personal information during the process of opening a checking account.

According to the information available on Sofi Bank 's official website, it is stated that individuals can open a checking account by providing a passport or other forms of identification. Based on this information, I submitted my personal details and identification documents to initiate the account opening process. However, upon submission, I was informed that only a U.S. passportstate ID and driver liscen would be accepted as valid identification for this purpose.

This discrepancy between the information provided on the website and the actual requirements is misleading and has caused significant frustration. I believe this practice not only misleads consumers but also raises serious concerns about the handling of personal information, as I provided sensitive data under the assumption that it would be used appropriately in accordance with what was advertised.

It is my belief that Sofi Bank 's actions constitute a deceptive practice that may be in violation of consumer protection laws. I am particularly concerned about the potential misuse of the personal information I submitted, as I feel that I was misled into providing sensitive data based on inaccurate representations.

I urge you to investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Sofi Bank to ensure that they adhere to fair practices and protect consumers from being misled in the future. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

SincerelyXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
