Equity research: SoFi Technologies

SoFi Technologies has built its business around one of the clearest shifts in consumer finance today: the move away from traditional banks towards a single, integrated digital platform. Through one app, SoFi brings together banking, lending, investing, credit cards and personal-finance tools, giving members a reason to consolidate their financial lives with one provider rather than several. 

This shift towards all-in-one digital finance shows no sign of slowing. Consumers increasingly expect speed, convenience and a joined-up experience from their financial provider, and SoFi’s national bank charter allows it to fund a growing share of its lending through member deposits, supporting stronger margins as this behavioural change continues. 

At the core of the business sits a deposit-funded lending franchise focused on prime borrowers. Alongside this, the Loan Platform Business gives SoFi a capital-light way to originate and distribute loans to third parties, allowing lending revenue to grow without every loan sitting on the balance sheet. Combined with continued growth in Financial Services and a reaccelerating Technology Platform segment, built on Galileo and Technisys, the overall revenue mix looks set to become more diversified, more recurring and more capital efficient over time. 

As SoFi continues to deepen member engagement and increase the number of products used per member, the business is well placed to improve lifetime value, reduce customer-acquisition costs and grow its share of recurring, fee-based revenue. 

We believe SoFi’s integrated platform strategy remains underappreciated by the market. As digital adoption continues to broaden across consumer finance, SoFi appears well positioned to sustain durable growth and long-term value creation.
