In finance TikTok, nothing pulls attention faster than bluntly showing your bank account balance.
This is not new, and many creators in the space have been milking this for a while.
- @susie_finance — “I’m 19 with $118 in checking, 23k in savings…” → 7.1M views
- @joeyyy_finance — “I’m 22 with $1,000 in checking, $23k in savings…” → 1.8M views
- @hannaohneh0508 — “Had a good day until someone my age said they’re already investing…” → 1.3M views
SoFi Invest follows the exact same playbook. Since 2024, the platform has had one TikTok creator, and he has already generated 43.7M views.
His videos are simple headshot explainers about investing, but every single one starts by showing his current account balance.
The table below shows exactly how each hook performs.
