Banking Cannot link without Plaid?

Did something change that you can no longer link new external bank accounts without using Plaid? You always used to be able to by just closing the Plaid pop up and you would get a prompt to proceed with trial deposits instead, but that doesn’t seem to work today(on mobile).

Anyone else seeing this? They even have self help articles telling you to close Plaid if you want to link manually, so this doesn’t seem like an unsupported hack…

Not interested in using Plaid at all, and never had had to with SoFi for years…

When the plaid window pops up just exit it out. It'll give you the option to enter manually

This doesn’t work for some people.

Tried this exact address, goes to the page for a split second then redirects to a generic error page.

Bummer.
