TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
Item 1. Business
We are a mission driven company designed to help our members achieve financial independence in order to realize their ambitions. To us, financial independence does not mean being wealthy, but rather represents the ability of our members to have the financial means to achieve their personal objectives at each stage of life, such as owning a home, having a family, or having a career of their choice — more simply stated, to have enough money to do what they want. We were founded in 2011 and have developed a suite of financial products that offers the speed, selection, content and convenience that only an integrated digital platform can provide. In order for us to achieve our mission, we have to help people get their money right, which means providing them with the ability to borrow better, save better, spend better, invest better and protect better. Everything we do today is geared toward helping our members “Get Your Money Right” and we strive to innovate and build ways for our members to achieve this goal.
In order to help achieve our mission, we are a member-centric, one-stop shop for financial services that, through our Lending and Financial Services products, allows members to borrow, save, spend, invest and protect their money. We refer to our customers as “members” and “clients”. We offer personal loans, student loans, home loans and related servicing and offer a variety of financial services products, such as SoFi Money, SoFi Credit Card, SoFi Crypto, SoFi Invest and SoFi Relay, that provide more daily interactions with our members, as well as products and capabilities, such as SoFi At Work, that are designed to appeal to enterprises. Lending related services that we offer through our Loan Platform Business help a broader range of borrowers to find lending solutions, through our relationships with members as well as third-party enterprise partners. Our Technology Platform supports innovation for a broad range of enterprises, with offerings that give clients the ability to create, launch and run financial products. In addition, SoFi Plus is our premium financial membership that provides benefits that span our offerings and brings together all we have to offer.
We have built a personalized area within our digital native application, which we refer to as the member home experience. The member home experience is personalized and delivers content to a member about what they must do that day in their financial life, what they should consider doing that day in their financial life, and what they could do that day in their financial life. Through the member home experience, there are significant opportunities to build frequent engagement and, to date, the member home experience has been an important driver of new product adoption. The member home experience is an important part of our strategy and our ability to use data as a competitive advantage.
To complement these products and services, we believe in establishing partnerships with other enterprises to leverage our existing capabilities to reach a broader market and in building vertically-integrated technology platforms designed to manage and deliver our suite of products and technology solutions to our members and clients in a low-cost and differentiated manner.
Our three reportable segments and their primary product and service offerings as of December 31, 2025 were as follows:

(1)Loan Platform Business includes activity related to (i) certain loans which we originate on behalf of third-party partners, (ii) referred loans which are originated by a third-party partner to which we provide pre-qualified borrower referrals, (iii) certain loans associated with our Lantern financial services marketplace platform, and (iv) servicing rights assumed from third parties. Refer to “Our Reportable Segments—Financial Services Segment” and “Our Reportable Segments—Lending Segment” for more information.
Members
We have created an innovative financial services platform designed to offer best-in-class products to meet the broad objectives of our members and the lifecycle of their financial needs. Our platform offers our members (as defined under Part II, Item 7. “Key Business Metrics”) a suite of financial products and services, enabling them to borrow, save, spend, invest and protect their finances across one integrated platform, as well as personal financial management tools and benefits to complement our products. Our aim is to create a best-in-class, integrated financial services platform that will generate a virtuous cycle whereby positive member experiences will lead to new product adoption by existing members and enhanced profitability for each additional product by lowering overall member acquisition costs and increasing the lifetime value of our members. We refer to this virtuous cycle as our “Financial Services Productivity Loop”, which is further discussed below.
Enterprises
In addition to benefiting our members, our products and capabilities are also designed to appeal to enterprises and have become interconnected with the SoFi platform, such as financial services institutions that subscribe to our enterprise services, third-party partners in our Loan Platform Business, and clients who utilize our technology platform services. While our enterprises are not considered members, they are important contributors to the growth of the SoFi platform, and also have their own constituents who might benefit from our products in the future.
SoFi Bank
SoFi Technologies is a bank holding company, and SoFi Bank is a nationally chartered association.
As a bank holding company, we offer checking and savings accounts, credit cards and crypto trading through SoFi Bank. We are originating all new loans within SoFi Bank, and we intend to continue to explore other products for SoFi Bank over time, including stablecoin issuance and tokenized deposits. The key current and expected financial benefits to us of operating a national bank include: (i) lowering our cost to fund loans, as we can utilize deposits held at SoFi Bank to fund loans, which generally have a lower borrowing cost of funds than warehouse and securitization financing, (ii) increasing our flexibility to hold loans on our balance sheet for longer periods, thereby enabling us to earn interest on these loans for a longer period, (iii) supporting origination volume growth by providing an alternative financing option, while also maintaining our warehouse capacity, and (iv) through deposits, providing us with a channel to obtain meaningful member data that can allow us to better serve our members’ financial needs. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain potential risks related to being a bank holding company.
International Operations
While we primarily operate in the United States, we also operate internationally in Latin America, Canada and Switzerland, largely through our Technology Platform segment, as well as in Hong Kong through SoFi Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited (an investment business).
In order to build best-in-class offerings, we focus on four differentiators: fast, selection, content and convenience.
(1)Fast — We aspire to be the fastest place for our members to responsibly do anything, whether it’s applying for a loan, getting a funded loan, opening an account, buying or selling a stock, uploading a mobile check, getting access to money, paying a friend, or accessing relevant financial content. Other than certain products acquired and offered through SoFi Bank, our products are all digital and we have a culture of iteration to help drive faster and faster services.
(2)Selection — Given the digital nature of our products, the permutations of features and services that can be made available to our members across their needs to borrow, save, spend, invest and protect are significant. We will continue to iterate, learn and innovate to broaden our selection in the same way we did this year by providing our members with competitive interest rates on checking and savings accounts, options trading, “Pay in 4” (a buy now, pay later product), and SoFi Plus membership benefits.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
(3)Content — Our financial education, insights, research content, actionable tools and advice are designed to provide meaningful value for our members. Our carefully-crafted and personalized content is offered through our member home experience and is designed to help our members get their money right. We strive to provide digestible financial education, meaningful answers, salient information, advice, credit scores, financial calculators, investment research and financial news that enhance member loyalty and increase the likelihood that members will use additional SoFi products.
(4)Convenience — We hold ourselves accountable and aim to provide the most convenient member experience possible in terms of ease of use, ubiquity, functionality, simplicity and responsive customer service. Our long-term goal is to provide the most convenient 24x7 service and dispel the historical construct of financial service availability based on 9-5 Monday through Friday through various means, such as supporting our members by offering a conversational AI engine to enhance the overall member experience.
Each product we offer is delivered in a member-centric way and is built and enhanced with these differentiators in mind. We believe that our member-centric, one-stop shop for financial services serves as a competitive differentiator for us relative to other financial services providers.
We offer our members a full suite of financial products and services all in one common mobile application. To complement these products and services, we believe in building vertically-integrated technology platforms designed to manage and deliver the suite of solutions to our members in a low-cost and differentiated manner.
The Financial Services Productivity Loop We believe that developing a comprehensive, long-term relationship with our members and gaining their trust is central to our success as a financial services platform. We have a digital-first financial services platform that we believe can support all of our members’ financial services needs throughout their lifetime. We believe this will lead to a competitive advantage over other financial institutions that provide a disjointed and non-seamless product experience, a lack of digital customer acquisition, subpar mobile web products instead of digital native apps and incomplete product offerings to meet a customer’s holistic financial needs.
A central part of our strategy is rooted in what we refer to as our “Financial Services Productivity Loop”, which is focused on building a durable relationship with our members, which we believe will help build a sustainable competitive advantage.
In order to deliver on our strategy, we must develop a comprehensive set of best-in-class products that build trust and reliability with our members and our platform. Members often come to us for a specific need, then later consider using additional products from our offering. Doing more business with existing members results in increased revenue per member and lower acquisition cost, resulting in higher lifetime value per member. This also reinforces the benefits of our platform, which
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
simplifies the entire financial ecosystem for our members, helping them get their money right. We are able to use the increased revenue to further improve member benefits and product experience.
In addition to realizing the benefits of more of our members adopting multiple SoFi products, the Financial Services Productivity Loop strategy delivers operating and technology efficiencies to deliver improved unit economics.
We conduct our business through three reportable segments: Lending, Technology Platform and Financial Services. Below is a discussion of our segments and their primary products and non-product offerings.
Lending Segment
We offer personal loans, student loans, home loans and related servicing to help our members with a variety of financial needs. We believe that our market opportunity within each of these lending channels is significant. Our lending process primarily leverages an in-application, digital borrowing experience, which we believe serves as a competitive advantage as digital lending becomes increasingly ubiquitous. Furthermore, our platform supports the full transaction lifecycle, including credit application, underwriting, approval, funding and servicing. Through data derived at loan origination and throughout the servicing process, SoFi has life-of-loan performance data on each loan in our ecosystem that we originate and on which we retain servicing, which provides a meaningful data asset. Net interest income, which we define as the difference between the earned interest income and interest expense to finance loans, is a key component of the profitability of our Lending segment, along with fee-based revenue, which includes loan origination fees.
Personal Loans. We originate personal loans to help our members with a variety of financial needs, such as debt consolidation, home improvement projects, family planning, travel and weddings, to name a few. We offer fixed rate loans with flexible repayment terms. We generally offer loan sizes of $5,000 to $100,000, subject to legal and/or licensing requirements, with terms generally ranging from 2 to 7 years. We regularly update the annual percentage rates offered on our personal loans.
Student Loans. We operate in the student loan refinance space, with a focus on prime and super-prime school loans, as well as the “in-school” lending space, which allows members to borrow funds while they attend school. We offer flexible loan sizes, repayment options and competitive rates. Within student loan refinancing, we generally offer loan sizes of $5,000 or higher, subject to legal and/or licensing requirements, with terms generally ranging from 5 to 20 years. Within in-school loans, we generally offer loan sizes of $1,000 or higher, subject to legal and/or licensing requirements, with terms generally ranging from 5 to 20 years. We regularly update the annual percentage rates offered on our fixed and variable-rate student loans.
Home Loans. We originate agency, non-agency, and certain government loan products (including FHA and VA loans) to members who are purchasing a home, refinancing an existing mortgage, or obtaining a home equity loan. Across our home loan products, we provide competitive rates, flexible down payment options as low as 3% (or 0% for VA loans), a close-on-time guarantee, and educational tools and calculators to support members throughout the borrowing process. When a member’s credit profile or other risk attributes do not align with our underwriting guidelines or risk appetite, we may broker home equity loans and home equity lines of credit to a third-party wholesale lender to help meet the member’s financing needs. We originate loans in accordance with applicable loan limits and program requirements, including Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) conforming limits and FHA and VA program limits, with FHA and VA loan amounts capped at $1,500,000. We also offer jumbo loans with loan amounts up to $3,000,000 and fixed-rate home equity loans up to $750,000. Our fixed-rate home loans generally have terms of 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years. We also offer adjustable-rate mortgage products for conforming and jumbo loans, with an initial fixed-rate period of 5, 7 or 10 years, followed by rate adjustments every six months for the remaining term. For FHA and VA loans, we offer adjustable-rate products with a fixed rate for five years followed by rate adjustments every year for the remainder of the term. We regularly update the annual percentage rates offered on our home loans.
Lending Model
We originate loans through our lending business, and have the option of pursuing a gain-on-sale origination model, whereby we seek to recognize a gain from these loans and sell them into either our whole loan or securitization channels, or holding loans on our balance sheet when advantageous. This enables us to maximize our return and balance our risk by earning interest on these loans for a longer period and to be selective in our sales arrangements. We sell our whole loans primarily to large financial institutions. In securitization transactions that do not qualify for sale accounting, the related assets remain on our balance sheet and cash proceeds received are reported as liabilities, with related interest expense recognized over the life of the related borrowing. In securitization transactions that qualify for sale accounting, we typically have insignificant continuing
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
involvement as an investor. In the case of both whole loan sales and securitizations, and with the exception of certain of our home loans, we also continue to retain servicing rights to our originated loans following transfer.
We also originate and sell loans in support of our Loan Platform Business, through which we provide lending related services to third-party partners. We maintain the same lending relationship with borrowers across all loans that we originate, inclusive of those originated on behalf of a third-party partner and as such, reflect these products within our Lending segment total products. This enables borrowers to gain access to all the benefits of becoming a SoFi member, and enhances our opportunities to sell additional products from across our platform to these members. See “Financial Services Segment” for more information.
We directly service all of the personal loans that we originate through our lending business, as well as provide servicing in support of our Loan Platform Business on loans originated on behalf of third-party partners and servicing rights assumed from third parties. We act as master servicer for, and rely on sub-servicers to directly service, all of our student loans and GSE conforming home loans. We view servicing as an integral component of the Lending segment, as we believe our servicing function is an important asset because of the connection to the member it affords us throughout the life of the loan thereby enhancing the effectiveness of our Financial Services Productivity Loop by increasing member touchpoints and driving new product adoption by existing members.
We rely upon deposits, warehouse financing and our own capital to enable us to continue to expand our origination capabilities. Our ability to utilize deposits held at SoFi Bank to fund our loans has lowered our overall cost of asset-backed financing relative to alternative sources of funding. We expect to benefit from the continued mix towards deposit funding through operating SoFi Bank.
Underwriting Process
We have developed an extensive underwriting process across each lending product that is focused on willingness to pay (measured by credit attributes and risk scores), ability to pay (measured through free cash flow), and stability (measured by credit experience). A key element of our underwriting process is the ability to facilitate risk-based interest rates that we believe are appropriate for each loan using proprietary risk models. We believe the outcome of this process helps us determine a more data-driven, risk-adjusted interest rate that we can offer our members. Further, our data and monitoring tools enable us to implement risk mitigation strategies quickly and efficiently, including underwriting standard adjustments to adapt our operations to changing environments and expectations.
Our personal loan and student loan underwriting models are typically based on credit reports, standard industry credit scores, custom credit assessment models, and debt capacity analysis, as indicated by borrower free cash flow. Home loans originated by SoFi that are agency-conforming loans are subject to credit, debt-to-income, and collateral eligibility established by the GSEs. Government loans, such as VA and Federal Housing Administration loans, are subject to the underwriting requirements established by the appropriate government agency. In addition to these requirements, agency-conforming and government loans are subject to credit eligibility criteria established by SoFi as well as individual investor requirements. Other non-agency loans originated by us, such as jumbo loans and home equity loans, are subject to credit eligibility established by SoFi and/or investor credit criteria, which typically includes established credit history requirements, credit score requirements, income verification, as well as maximum limits on debt-to-income and caps on loan-to-value.
We also leverage our data to provide existing members a streamlined application process through automation. Across our loan products, existing members generally experience a higher approval rate than new members, subject to the existing member being in good standing on their existing products.
Technology Platform Segment
We provide technology platform services through a diversified suite of offerings which include an event and authorization platform accessed via application programming interfaces, a cloud-native digital and core banking platform and services related to both platforms. Our customers and partners include financial institutions, government entities and non-financial institutions primarily in North America and Latin America. We earn technology product and solutions fee-based revenue through the use of the platforms, either as a stand ready obligation, or from overall license and maintenance fee service arrangements related to those respective platforms. We also offer additional add-on technology solutions to support our clients and drive engagement, such as a conversational AI engine for customers of banks and financial institutions, and a real-time payment risk platform which employs AI and machine learning technology to enhance payment fraud mitigation strategies for financial customers. We continue to leverage investments made to integrate our services and offerings to position the Technology Platform segment for diversified durable growth.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Financial Services Segment
We offer a suite of financial services solutions, the most significant of which are discussed below. Our financial services products (as defined under Part II, Item 7. “Key Business Metrics”) by nature provide more daily interactions with our members and are differentiated from our lending products, which inherently provide less consistent touchpoints with our members. We also offer financial services solutions which are designed to appeal to enterprises, including our At Work product and lending related services offered through our Loan Platform Business. Certain products, such as our complementary SoFi Relay product, do not provide direct sources of revenue but foster additional touch points with our members. We believe that our suite of financial services offerings provide many ways for our members to actively engage in getting their money right as well as attractive enterprise solutions. This enables us to deliver positive experiences through various channels, building trust and durable relationships which can ultimately demonstrate the effectiveness of our Financial Services Productivity Loop virtuous cycle.
SoFi Money
Checking and savings accounts provide a digital banking experience which allows members to spend, save and earn interest and rewards in flexible ways. We believe SoFi Checking and Savings accounts held at SoFi Bank are attractive to our members and prospective members due to our differentiated offerings, including competitive interest rates, access to expanded FDIC insurance coverage of up to $3 million through our Insured Deposit Program and the convenience and benefits of being part of a cohesive, simplified financial ecosystem within our mobile platform.
Our legacy cash management product utilizes a sweep administrator to sweep funds to and from program banks (inclusive of SoFi Bank), as necessary, under a program broker agreement between SoFi Securities and the sweep administrator, as well as program account and program bank agreements. Following the Bank Merger, we began to allow members to convert their cash management accounts into checking and savings accounts held at SoFi Bank. Effective June 5, 2022, most of our SoFi Money cash management accounts no longer earn interest, as we implemented our plan to build new features only for SoFi Checking and Savings and reduce support of our SoFi Money cash management accounts.
SoFi Invest
A mobile-first investment platform offering members access to trading and advisory solutions, such as active investing and robo-advisory. Our interactive investing experience fosters engagement by allowing members to view and monitor other investors’ activity on the platform. Our active investing service enables members to buy and sell stocks and ETFs, as well as alternative investment funds, mutual funds and money market funds, to engage in options trading, to participate in IPOs, to buy and sell fractional shares, to engage in margin investing and to access a retirement investment account. Our robo-advisory service offers a variety of managed portfolios comprising ETFs and mutual funds that are built and managed by our investment committee with support from an asset management partner. Additionally, we provide introductory brokerage services to our members and have invested heavily to create an appealing mobile investing experience.
In connection with our approval as a bank holding company in February 2022, the Federal Reserve determined that the activities of SoFi Digital Assets, LLC in providing members with the ability to buy or sell various digital currencies through SoFi Digital Assets, LLC's omnibus account with a third-party custodian is not a permissible activity under the Bank Holding Company Act and Regulation Y. Under Section 4 of the Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve permitted us to continue our current digital assets related offering for a two-year conformance period from the date we became a bank holding company. Based on this, in the fourth quarter of 2023, we made the decision to transfer the crypto services provided within SoFi Digital Assets, LLC, and began closing existing digital assets accounts. This process was completed in the first quarter of 2024. See Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the transfer of the crypto services.
SoFi Crypto
The digital asset activities described above related to SoFi Digital Assets, LLC and reflect a legacy operating structure that was discontinued in 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we launched SoFi Crypto, a new digital asset trading platform, as part of our Financial Services segment that is structured differently from the prior offering and is designed to operate within the Company’s current regulatory framework.
SoFi Crypto gives members the ability to buy, sell and hold digital assets through SoFi Bank. The platform is integrated with our existing banking products, allowing members to fund digital asset transactions directly from their SoFi Money Checking or Savings accounts without the need to transfer funds to an external account, providing a consolidated financial experience within a single application. The platform leverages our existing technology infrastructure, compliance

framework, and security controls applicable to our bank and brokerage operations. In addition, SoFi provides educational content and in-app disclosures designed to improve accessibility and help members understand digital assets and related risks, particularly for members who are new to cryptocurrency transactions. Activities related to the platform are subject to evolving regulatory, operational, and technology risks, which are further described in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Loan Platform Business
We provide lending related services to a broader set of members through our platform of enterprise partners. Revenue from the Loan Platform Business is fee-based. This includes (i) activity through which third-party partners leverage our end-to-end origination and servicing platform to acquire loans within their credit specifications on a fee per loan basis, (ii) referred loans originated by a third-party partner to which we provide pre-qualified borrower referrals, and (iii) activity related to certain loans associated with our Lantern financial services marketplace platform. In addition, we offer loan servicing support through our lending business. See “Lending Segment ” for more information.
Additional financial services solutions offered within our platform include:
•SoFi Credit Card: We offer credit card products designed to help eligible members spend better, with benefits and features that fit our members’ everyday spending, borrowing and lifestyle needs, including flexible options to redeem cash back rewards through statement credit or other SoFi products.
•SoFi Relay: A personal finance management product that allows members to track all of their financial accounts in one place and gain meaningful insights into their financial health and habits to help them improve their financial standing, such as credit score monitoring and spending behaviors. SoFi Relay also provides us with unified intelligence about our members that offers information about what SoFi products and features may help our members best achieve their financial goals, allowing us to further personalize the SoFi experience for our members.
•Lantern: A financial services marketplace platform developed to help small businesses and individuals who do not qualify for SoFi products, through a simplified search and application experience that connects these users to alternative financial solutions from a curated network of other providers.
•SoFi Protect: A service through which we partner with providers who offer insurance products to help our members protect their assets, including providers across auto, life, homeowners, renters, and cyber insurance products and estate planning.
•SoFi Travel: A service through which we partner with a provider to offer an easy travel search and booking experience that can be managed directly through the SoFi app or website, alongside expanded member benefits including member prices on certain bookings and additional cash back rewards on purchases made with SoFi Credit Card.
•SoFi At Work: A service through which we partner with other enterprises looking for a seamless way to provide financial benefits to their employees, such as student loan payments made on their employees’ behalf.
We believe that the content and features we provide within our mobile application can spur more financial education, which leads to more ways for our members to actively engage in getting their money right and utilize SoFi products.
We compete at multiple levels, including: (i) competition among other personal loan, student loan, credit card and residential lenders, (ii) competition for deposits among other banks, some challenger banks and a variety of technology and retail companies, (iii) competition with social media and other commerce platforms and applications that offer peer-to-peer, in-app and social commerce payment capabilities, (iv) competition for investment accounts among other introductory brokerage firms and a variety of technology and other companies, (v) competition with other digital asset trading platforms and banks that offer digital asset trading and other services and products, (vi) competition for subscribers to financial services content, and (vii) competition among other technology platforms for the enterprise services we provide, such as platform as a service and cloud-native digital and core banking services.
Competition to fund prime loans. The prime lending market is highly fragmented and competitive. We face competition from a diverse landscape of consumer lenders, including other banks, credit unions and specialty finance lenders, as well as alternative technology-enabled lenders.
Competition to acquire deposits. Although we now operate a bank, many other banks are larger, have been in business longer and often have greater brand awareness than us. Some large technology and retail companies have large consumer bases and strong balance sheets, which could enhance their competitive ability.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Competition to acquire investment brokerage and crypto trading accounts. We face competition from brokerage platforms that provide some of the same features as us, such as a mobile brokerage experience, robo-investing, fractional share investing, crypto investing and options trading. In addition, the leading incumbent brokerage firms are larger, have been in business longer and generally have greater brand awareness than us. Technology and other companies have begun to offer some basic investing features and the ability to buy and sell digital and other assets.
Competition to attract financial services content viewership. There are many sources of financial news in the marketplace, many of which are more established and have a larger subscriber base.
Competition for technology products and solutions. Generally, these arrangements are multi-year contracts, which require us to spend the necessary resources on implementation and interconnecting new clients onto our platform. We face competition from larger institutions that could make investments into an integrated platform as a service solution or to a cloud-native digital and core banking solution, and also undercut our pricing, preventing our current clients from renewing, while also impeding our attempts to acquire new clients.
Our sales and marketing efforts are designed to drive brand awareness, improve member acquisition efficiency and accelerate our Financial Services Productivity Loop. We attract and retain members through multiple marketing channels, including social media, press, online affiliations, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, offline partnerships and sponsorship arrangements, preapproved direct mailings and television advertising. We continue to optimize our marketing strategy through a focus on our full suite of financial products and iterate on opportunities to accelerate the Financial Services Productivity Loop.
Government Supervision and Regulation We are subject to extensive and complex supervision and examination by various federal, state and local government authorities designed to, among other things, protect depositors, borrowers and other customers. The following is a summary of certain aspects of the various statutes and regulations applicable to us and our subsidiaries. This summary is not a comprehensive analysis of all applicable laws, and is qualified by reference to the full text of statutes and regulations referenced below, which may be modified or amended from time to time. In addition, significant political, policy or regulatory developments stemming from government actions and shifting regulatory priorities may impact the agencies that regulate us and result in substantial changes to the laws outlined below. Such changes are difficult to predict and may have a material adverse effect on us.
As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve under the BHCA, and SoFi Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the OCC and secondary supervisory authority by the FDIC as the insurer of SoFi Bank’s deposits, and beginning January 1, 2024, SoFi Bank and its affiliates became subject to supervision and examination by the CFPB. SoFi Securities is subject to regulation by FINRA and the SEC, and the Company and its affiliates are subject to supervision and examination by various state regulators.
Financial Holding Company and Bank Holding Company Status and Activities
Bank Holding Company Regulation. The Federal Reserve has the authority, among other things, to order bank holding companies such as the Company to cease and desist from unsafe or unsound banking practices, to assess civil money penalties and to order termination of non-banking activities or termination of ownership and control of a non-banking subsidiary by a bank holding company.
Source of Strength. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to serve as a source of financial strength for SoFi Bank. This means that we may be required to provide capital or liquidity support to SoFi Bank, even at times when we may not have the resources to provide such support to SoFi Bank, and capital loans by the Company to SoFi Bank are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of SoFi Bank. In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a bank subsidiary will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.
Acquisitions and Activities. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, without prior approval of the Federal Reserve, from acquiring all or substantially all the assets of a bank, acquiring control of a bank, merging or consolidating with another bank holding company, or acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
bank holding company if, after such acquisition, the acquiring bank holding company would control more than 5% of any class of the voting shares of such other bank or bank holding company. The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiary banks. However, a bank holding company may engage in and may own shares of companies engaged in activities that the Federal Reserve has determined, by order or regulation, to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.
The Company has elected to be treated as a financial holding company pursuant to Section 4(l) of the BHCA. As a financial holding company, the Company is authorized to engage in a broader set of financial activities than a bank holding company that has not elected to be treated as a financial holding company, including insurance underwriting, broker-dealer services and acting as a finder as well as activities that are jointly determined by the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity. Financial holding companies may also engage in activities that are determined by the Federal Reserve to be complementary to financial activities. “Financial activities” is broadly defined to include not only banking, insurance and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional activities that the Federal Reserve, in consultation with the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, determines to be financial in nature, incidental to such financial activities, or complementary activities that do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally.
The Company must comply with all applicable Federal Reserve requirements for financial holding companies. If a financial holding company remains out of compliance for 180 days or such longer period as the Federal Reserve permits, the Federal Reserve may require the financial holding company to divest either its insured depository institution or all of its non-banking subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company. If an insured depository institution subsidiary of a financial holding company fails to maintain a “satisfactory” or better record of performance under the CRA, the financial holding company will be prohibited, until the rating is raised to “satisfactory” or better, from engaging in new activities authorized particularly for financial holding companies or acquiring companies engaged in such activities. If a financial holding company or any depository institution subsidiary of a financial holding company fails to remain well capitalized and well managed, the Federal Reserve may impose such limitations on the conduct or activities of the financial holding company as the Federal Reserve determines to be appropriate, and the bank holding company and its affiliates may not commence any new activity or acquire control of shares of any company engaged in any activity that is authorized particularly for financial holding companies without first obtaining the approval of the Federal Reserve.
Limitations on Acquisitions of Our Common Stock. Acquisitions of our common stock are governed by both the Change in Bank Control Act and the BHCA. The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons acting in concert from acquiring “control” of a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve, the acquisition by a person or group of persons acting in concert of 10% or more of a class of voting securities of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act constitutes the acquisition of control of a bank holding company for purposes of the Change in Bank Control Act. The BHCA prohibits any company from acquiring control of a bank or bank holding company without first having obtained the approval of the Federal Reserve. Under the BHCA, a company is deemed to control a bank or bank holding company if the company owns, controls or holds with power to vote 25% or more of a class of voting securities of the bank or bank holding company, controls in any manner the election of a majority of directors or trustees of the bank or bank holding company, or the Federal Reserve determines that the company has the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of the bank or bank holding company. Under a rebuttable presumption of control established by the Federal Reserve, the acquisition of control of 5% or more of a class of voting securities of a bank holding company, together with other factors enumerated by the Federal Reserve, could constitute the acquisition of control of a bank holding company under the BHCA.
Banking Regulation
SoFi Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the OCC. Additionally, the FDIC has secondary supervisory authority as the insurer of SoFi Bank’s deposits. Pursuant to the BHCA as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve may also directly examine the subsidiaries of the Company, including SoFi Bank. Beginning January 1, 2024, SoFi Bank and its affiliates became subject to supervision and examination by the CFPB. The enforcement powers available to the federal banking regulators include, among other things, the ability to issue cease and desist or removal orders, to terminate insurance of deposits, to assess civil money penalties, to issue directives to increase capital, to place SoFi Bank into receivership, and to initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and institution-affiliated parties, any of which could compromise our competitive position.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Deposit Insurance. Deposit obligations of SoFi Bank are insured by the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund up to $250,000 per depositor for deposits held in the same right and capacity. Deposit insurance premiums are based on assets, while taking into account various factors, including certain financial metrics and a bank’s supervisory ratings. The FDIC has the authority to adjust deposit insurance assessment rates at any time. Further, through SoFi Money, members have access to expanded FDIC insurance coverage of up to $3 million through a reciprocal deposit network of participating banks in our Insured Deposit Program. Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC if the FDIC finds that the insured depository institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. For 2025, the FDIC insurance expense for SoFi Bank was $19.3 million.
Activities and Investments of National Banking Associations. National banking associations must comply with the National Bank Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the OCC, which generally limit the activities of national banking associations to those that are deemed to be part of, or incidental to, the “business of banking”. Activities that are part of, or incidental to, the business of banking include taking deposits, borrowing and lending money and discounting or negotiating promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange, and other evidences of debt. Subsidiaries of national banking associations generally may only engage in activities permissible for the parent national bank.
Acquisitions and Branching. Prior approval from the OCC is required in order for SoFi Bank to acquire another bank or establish a new branch office. Well capitalized and well managed banks may acquire other banks in any state, subject to certain deposit concentration limits and other conditions, pursuant to the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Brokered Deposits. The FDIA and FDIC regulations generally limit the ability of an insured depository institution to accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit unless the institution’s capital category is “well capitalized” or, with the FDIC’s approval, “adequately capitalized.” Certain depository institutions that have brokered deposits in excess of 10% of total assets are subject to increased FDIC deposit insurance premium assessments; however, Section 202 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Economic Growth Act”), which was enacted in 2018, amended the FDIA to exempt a capped amount of reciprocal deposits from treatment as brokered deposits for insured depository institutions that are “well capitalized” and have a CAMELS composite rating of 1 or 2.
Community Reinvestment Act. The CRA requires the OCC to evaluate SoFi Bank’s performance in helping to meet the credit needs of the entire communities it serves, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with its safe and sound banking operation. A bank’s performance under the CRA is taken into consideration when evaluating and approving applications for charters, bank mergers, acquisitions, and branch openings. On January 1, 2023, SoFi Bank began operating under a five-year CRA strategic plan which includes five measurable goals relating to: (i) CD Lending and CD Investments, (ii) CD Contributions, (iii) CD Services, (iv) Small Business Lending, and (v) Retail Services and Products. SoFi Bank’s 2023-2027 CRA performance will be examined based upon the CRA strategic plan’s five measurable goals as defined in the strategic plan and, as a result, the OCC’s standard performance evaluation criteria will not be utilized to evaluate SoFi Bank’s CRA performance throughout the duration of the strategic plan period. The OCC rates a national bank’s compliance with the CRA as “Outstanding”, “Satisfactory”, “Needs to Improve” or “Substantial Noncompliance”. Failure of SoFi Bank to receive at least a “Satisfactory” rating could inhibit SoFi Bank or the Company from undertaking certain activities, including acquisitions of other financial institutions. Golden Pacific Bank, the predecessor to SoFi Bank, received a “Satisfactory” rating as of April 1, 2019. On October 23, 2023, the Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC approved changes to their CRA regulations (the “2023 rule”). These changes were challenged in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, seeking, among other things, a preliminary injunction pausing implementation of the new rules while the court decided the merits of the case. On July 16, 2025, the Federal Reserve, FDIC and the OCC jointly issued a proposal to rescind the 2023 rule and replace it with the 1995 CRA regulations, with certain technical amendments.
Lending Restrictions. Federal law limits a bank’s authority to extend credit to “insiders”, which includes directors and executive officers of the bank and certain of its affiliates and persons or companies that own, control or have power to vote more than 10% of any class of securities of a bank or an affiliate of a bank, as well as to entities controlled by such persons. Among other things, extensions of credit to insiders are required to be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons. The terms of such extensions of credit may not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features and may not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of the bank’s capital.
Lending Obligations. Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), like the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), are financial services corporations created by
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Congress to enhance the flow of credit to specific sectors of the economy. GSEs invest in and purchase mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage market. This process helps provide liquidity to mortgage lenders like SoFi Bank, enabling them to continue offering loans to more buyers. The GSEs impose prescriptive rules, underwriting criteria, servicing standards, repurchase obligations, and other guidelines on mortgage lenders who originate mortgage loans in which the GSEs invest. GSEs invest in some of the mortgage loans that SoFi Bank originates. Therefore, SoFi Bank must make certain representations and warranties to those GSEs and comply with those rules and guidelines. Similarly, because we offer certain government-backed loans (e.g., Veterans Affairs (VA) and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans) to eligible borrowers purchasing a home or refinancing an existing mortgage, we must comply with applicable VA and FHA rules and guidelines with respect to those loans.
Enhanced Prudential Supervision
Both SoFi Bank and the Company, which controls SoFi Bank, had total consolidated assets in excess of $10 billion as of December 31, 2025 which subjects them to additional regulatory requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act and other federal banking laws.
CFPB. Section 1025 of the Dodd-Frank Act and the CFPB’s interpretations thereof provide that the CFPB has authority to examine any insured depository institution with total assets of more than $10 billion for four consecutive quarters and any affiliate thereof. Beginning January 1, 2024, SoFi Bank and its affiliates became subject to CFPB supervision and regulation with respect to federal consumer protection laws, including laws relating to fair lending and the prohibition of unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices in connection with the offer, sale or provision of consumer financial products and services. As part of its regulatory oversight, the CFPB has authority to take enforcement actions against firms that offer certain products and services to consumers using practices that are deemed to be unfair, deceptive or abusive.
Durbin Amendment. Section 1075 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which is commonly known as the “Durbin Amendment”, amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to restrict the amount of interchange fees that may be charged and prohibit network exclusivity for debit card transactions. The restrictions on interchange fees became applicable to SoFi Bank on July 1, 2023, which may negatively impact future interchange fees.
Volcker Rule. Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, commonly known as the “Volcker Rule”, which generally prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading and from acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in or sponsoring certain types of investment funds, applies to insured depository institutions, companies that control an insured depository institution, companies and foreign banks that are subject to the BHCA, and their affiliates and subsidiaries. There is an exception from the Volcker Rule that excludes an institution from the definition of insured depository institution if neither it, nor any company that controls it, has total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion and consolidated trading assets and liabilities that are 5% or more of consolidated assets. The Company and our subsidiaries are subject to the Volcker Rule and do not qualify for this exception.
Heightened Standards. Section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by the Economic Growth Act, and 12 C.F.R. Part 30 require the Federal Reserve and the OCC, respectively, to implement enhanced prudential regulation, referred to as “heightened standards”, of bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more and national banks with total assets of $50 billion or more. The enhanced prudential standards include risk-based and leverage capital requirements, liquidity standards, requirements for overall risk management, and stress-test requirements. On December 23, 2025, the OCC proposed raising the asset threshold for heightened standards for banks from $50 billion to $700 billion in total consolidated assets. Once the Company’s or SoFi Bank’s assets are equal to or greater than the applicable asset thresholds, we will be subject to these enhanced prudential regulations.
Capital Adequacy and Safety and Soundness
Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve and the OCC have issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital rules applicable to U.S. banking organizations such as the Company and SoFi Bank. These rules are intended to reflect the relationship between the banking organization’s capital and the degree of risk associated with its operations based on transactions recorded on-balance sheet as well as off-balance sheet items. The Federal Reserve and the OCC may from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels discussed below, due to the banking organization’s financial condition or actual or anticipated growth.
The capital adequacy rules define qualifying capital instruments and specify minimum amounts of capital as a percentage of assets that banking organizations are required to maintain. Common equity Tier 1 capital generally includes common stock and related surplus, retained earnings and, in certain cases and subject to certain limitations, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill, other non-qualifying intangible assets and certain other deductions. Tier 1 capital for
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
banks and bank holding companies generally consists of the sum of common equity Tier 1 capital, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and related surplus and, in certain cases and subject to limitations, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries that do not qualify as common equity Tier 1 capital, less certain deductions. Tier 2 capital generally consists of hybrid capital instruments, perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt securities, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, and, subject to limitations, allowances for loan losses. The sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital less certain required deductions represents qualifying total risk-based capital.
Under the capital rules, risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and total capital, respectively, by risk-weighted assets. Assets and off-balance sheet credit equivalents are assigned to one of several categories of risk weights based primarily on relative credit risk. The Tier 1 leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by average assets, less certain items such as goodwill and intangible assets, as permitted under the capital rules.
Under the Federal Reserve’s rules that are applicable to the Company and the OCC’s capital rules applicable to SoFi Bank, the Company and SoFi Bank are each required to maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 6.0%, a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% and a minimum leverage ratio requirement of 4.0%. Additionally, these rules require an institution to establish a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for “adequately capitalized” institutions of more than 2.5% of total risk weighted assets, or face restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, pay discretionary bonuses and to engage in share repurchases.
Under the OCC’s prompt corrective action rules, an OCC supervised institution is considered well capitalized if it: (i) has a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.0% or greater, (ii) a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% or greater, (iii) a common Tier 1 equity ratio of 6.5% or greater, (iv) a leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or greater, and (v) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. SoFi Bank is considered well capitalized under all regulatory definitions.
Generally, a bank, upon receiving notice that it is not adequately capitalized (i.e., that it is “undercapitalized”), becomes subject to the prompt corrective action provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA that, for example: (i) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees, (ii) require that its federal bank regulator monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts to restore its capital, (iii) require submission of a capital restoration plan, (iv) restrict the growth of the institution’s assets, and (v) require prior regulatory approval of certain expansion proposals. A bank that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must concurrently submit a performance guarantee by each company that controls the bank. A bank that is “critically undercapitalized” (i.e., has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%) will be subject to further restrictions, and generally will be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days.
Current capital rules do not establish standards for determining whether a bank holding company is well capitalized. However, for purposes of processing regulatory applications and notices, the Federal Reserve’s Regulation Y provides that a bank holding company is considered “well capitalized” if: (i) on a consolidated basis, the bank holding company maintains a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, (ii) on a consolidated basis, the bank holding company maintains a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, and (iii) the bank holding company is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive issued by the Federal Reserve to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
Safety and Soundness Standard. Guidelines adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies pursuant to the FDIA establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings, and compensation and benefits. In general, these guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risk and exposures specified in the guidelines. For example, the guidelines prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as excessive when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director or principal shareholder. In addition, the federal banking agencies adopted regulations that authorize, but do not require, an agency to order an institution that has been given notice by an agency that it is not satisfying any of such safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan. If, after being so notified, an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan or fails in any material respect to implement an acceptable compliance plan, the agency must issue an order restricting asset growth, requiring the institution to increase its ratio of tangible equity to assets or directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order requiring other actions of the types to which an undercapitalized institution is subject under the “prompt corrective action” provisions of the FDIA. See “Regulatory Capital Requirements” above. If an institution fails to comply with such an order, the agency may seek to enforce such order in judicial proceedings and to impose civil money penalties.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Dividend Restrictions
The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. The right of the Company, and consequently the right of shareholders of the Company, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of its subsidiaries through the payment of dividends or otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiaries, including, with respect to SoFi Bank, depositors of SoFi Bank, except to the extent that certain claims of the Company in a creditor capacity may be recognized.
Restrictions on Bank Holding Company Dividends. The Federal Reserve has the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice. The Federal Reserve has indicated generally that it may be an unsafe or unsound practice for bank holding companies to pay dividends on regulatory capital instruments unless the bank holding company’s net income over the preceding year is sufficient to fund the dividends and the expected rate of earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. In addition, under Federal Reserve policy, the Company should inform the Federal Reserve reasonably in advance of declaring or paying a dividend on regulatory capital instruments that exceeds earnings for the period for which the dividend is being paid or that could result in a material adverse change to the Company’s capital structure. Further, under the Federal Reserve’s capital rules, the Company’s ability to pay dividends is restricted if it does not maintain capital above the capital conservation buffer. See “Capital Adequacy and Safety and Soundness—Regulatory Capital Requirements” above.
Restrictions on Bank Dividends. The OCC has the authority to use its enforcement powers to prohibit a bank from paying dividends if, in its opinion, the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Federal law also prohibits the payment of dividends by a bank that will result in the bank failing to meet its applicable capital requirements on a pro forma basis. In addition, under the National Bank Act, SoFi Bank generally may, without prior approval of the OCC, declare a dividend so long as the total amount of all dividends (common and preferred), including the proposed dividend, in the current year do not exceed net income for the current year to date plus retained net income for the prior two years.
Certain Transactions by Bank Holding Companies with their Affiliates
There are various statutory restrictions on the extent to which bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries may borrow, obtain credit from or otherwise engage in “covered transactions” with their insured depository institution subsidiaries. An insured depository institution (and its subsidiaries) may not lend money to, or engage in covered transactions with, its non-depository institution affiliates if the aggregate amount of covered transactions outstanding involving the bank, plus the proposed transaction exceeds the following limits: (i) in the case of any one such affiliate, the aggregate amount of covered transactions of the insured depository institution and its subsidiaries cannot exceed 10% of the capital stock and surplus of the insured depository institution, and (ii) in the case of all affiliates, the aggregate amount of covered transactions of the insured depository institution and its subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the capital stock and surplus of the insured depository institution. For this purpose, “covered transactions” are defined by statute to include a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate; a purchase of or investment in securities issued by an affiliate; a purchase of assets from an affiliate unless exempted by the Federal Reserve; the acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral for a loan or extension of credit to any person or company; the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an affiliate; securities borrowing or lending transactions with an affiliate that creates a credit exposure to such affiliate; or a derivatives transaction with an affiliate that creates a credit exposure to such affiliate. Covered transactions are also subject to certain collateral security requirements. Covered transactions as well as other types of transactions between a bank and a bank holding company must be conducted under terms and conditions, including credit standards, which are at least as favorable to the bank as prevailing market terms. Moreover, Section 106 of the Bank Holding Company Act Amendments of 1970 provides that, to further competition, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property of any kind, or the furnishing of any service.
Consumer Financial Services Laws and Regulations
We are subject to federal and state laws designed to protect consumers and prohibit unfair or deceptive business practices. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must interact with customers when taking deposits, extending credit, collecting or servicing credit or loan accounts and providing other services. The CFPB also has a broad mandate to prohibit unfair, deceptive or abusive acts and practices, which can be referred to as “UDAAP”, and is specifically empowered to require certain disclosures to consumers, including on certain model disclosure forms, and prohibit certain practices. Failure to comply with consumer protection laws and regulations can subject financial institutions to enforcement actions, fines and other penalties. State attorneys general may also have certain limited authority to enforce general UDAAP requirements against SoFi. Prior to January 1, 2024, the OCC examined SoFi Bank for compliance with CFPB rules and enforced CFPB rules with respect to SoFi Bank. As noted above, beginning January 1, 2024, SoFi Bank and its affiliates became subject to supervision and regulation by the CFPB as an insured depository

institution with total assets of more than $10 billion. Below are certain regulations to which our consumer financial services are subject.
Truth in Lending Act. The TILA and Regulation Z, which implements it, require lenders to provide consumers with uniform, understandable information concerning certain terms and conditions of their loan and credit transactions prior to the consummation of a credit transaction and, in the case of certain education, mortgage, personal, credit card, overdraft, and other open-end loans, at the time of a loan solicitation, application, approval and origination of a credit transaction. TILA also regulates the advertising of credit, including limitations on co-branding private education lender’s products with educational institutions in the marketing of private education loans, and gives borrowers, among other things, certain rights regarding updated disclosures and periodic statements, security interests taken to secure the credit, the right to rescind certain loan transactions, a right to an investigation and resolution of billing errors, and the treatment of credit balances. For certain types of credit transactions, lenders are not permitted to originate loans with certain high-risk features, such as negative amortization and balloon payments, and must provide certain consumer protections during the underwriting and origination process, such as providing a right to an appraisal of mortgaged property, and verifying the consumer’s ability to repay the loan prior to making a decision to approve an application for the loan. Private education lenders must provide multiple disclosures to applicants under TILA and must provide applicants with 30 days in which to accept or reject a loan offer as well as the right to rescind the loan transaction for three business days following receipt of the Final TILA disclosure.
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. The federal RESPA and Regulation X, which implements it, require certain disclosures to be made to the borrower at application, as to the lender’s initial disclosures (or good faith estimate) of loan origination costs, and at closing with respect to the real estate settlement statement; apply to certain loan servicing practices including escrow accounts, member complaints, servicing transfers, lender-placed insurance, error resolution and loss mitigation. RESPA also prohibits giving or accepting any fee, kickback or a thing of value for the referral of real estate settlement services, and giving or accepting any portion of any fee charged for rendering a real estate settlement service other than for services actually performed. To the extent that a lender makes or receives a referral to a third-party with whom it has an affiliated business arrangement, for settlement services, RESPA requires a disclosure to the customer of the affiliation to the service provider. For most home loans, the time of application (loan estimate) and time of loan closing disclosure requirements for RESPA and TILA have been combined into integrated disclosures under the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rule.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The federal ECOA prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, marital status, the fact that all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program or the fact that the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act or any applicable state law. Regulation B, which implements ECOA, restricts creditors from requesting certain types of information from loan applicants and from using advertising or making statements that would discourage on a prohibited basis a reasonable person from making or pursuing an application. ECOA also requires creditors to provide consumers and certain small businesses with timely responses to applications for credit, including notices of adverse action taken on credit applications.
Fair Housing Act. The federal FHA applies to credit related to housing and prohibits discrimination on the basis of race or color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status and handicap. The FHA prohibits discrimination in advertising regarding the sale or rental of a dwelling, which includes mortgage credit discrimination. The FHA may place restrictions on a creditor’s targeted marketing strategies, due to the risk that such strategies may increase a creditor’s fair lending risk.
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. The federal HMDA requires lenders to collect, report and disclose certain information about their mortgage lending activity to the CFPB. Much of the data reported pursuant to HMDA is made public and can be used by regulators and third parties to ascertain information about our mortgage lending activity. Regulators and litigants may use the data to make inferences about our compliance with ECOA, FHA and similar anti-discrimination laws. Effective in 2018, the CFPB issued a final rule which greatly expanded the amount of data that mortgage lenders are required to collect and report under HMDA.
Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act. We employ and contract with mortgage loan originators who are required by state and federal law to be licensed as mortgage loan originators in the relevant jurisdictions where they operate. To obtain and maintain licensure, the mortgage loan originator must meet the minimum education, experience and character requirements set forth by the relevant state’s law, and periodically renew their licenses. We may not be permitted to employ, take applications from, or originate loans processed by mortgage loan originators who fail to maintain a license in good standing in each relevant jurisdiction.
Fair Credit Reporting Act. The federal FCRA, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, promotes the accuracy, fairness and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. FCRA requires a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer credit report and requires persons that furnish loan payment information to credit
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
bureaus to report such information accurately. We are also required to perform a reasonable investigation in the event we receive indirect disputes from the credit bureaus about the accuracy of our credit reporting for a particular consumer and to update any inaccurate information we discover. FCRA also imposes disclosure requirements on creditors who take adverse action on credit applications based on information contained in a consumer report or received from a third party and requires creditors who use consumer reports in establishing loan terms to provide risk-based pricing or credit score notices to affected consumers. FCRA also imposes rules and disclosure requirements on creditors’ use of consumer reports for marketing purposes, which impacts our ability to use consumer reports and prescreened lists to market consumer loans through direct mail and other means.
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The federal FDCPA provides guidelines and limitations on the conduct of third-party debt collectors in connection with the collection of consumer debts. The FDCPA limits certain communications with third parties, imposes notice and debt validation requirements, and prohibits threatening, harassing or abusive conduct in the course of debt collection. While the FDCPA applies to third-party debt collectors, and not original creditors, debt collection and loan servicing laws of certain states impose similar requirements on creditors who collect their own debts or contract with third parties to collect their debts. In addition, the CFPB prohibits UDAAP in debt collection, including first-party debt collection. The CFPB’s Regulation F, which implements the FDCPA, addresses communications in connection with debt collection, interprets and applies prohibitions on harassment or abuse, false or misleading representations, and unfair practices in debt collection, and clarifies requirements for certain consumer-facing debt collection disclosures.
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The federal SCRA allows military members to suspend, limit or postpone certain civil obligations so that the military member can devote his or her full attention to military duties. The SCRA requires us to adjust the interest rate on pre-service obligations of borrowers who qualify for and request relief. The SCRA also places limitations on remedies that may otherwise be available to a creditor, such as foreclosures and default judgments.
Military Lending Act. The MLA restricts, among other things, the interest rate and other terms that can be offered to active military personnel and their dependents. The MLA caps the interest rate that may be offered to a covered borrower for most types of consumer credit to a 36% military annual percentage rate, or “MAPR”, which includes certain fees such as application fees, participation fees and fees for add-on products. The MLA also requires certain disclosures and prohibits certain terms, such as mandatory arbitration if a dispute arises concerning the consumer credit product.
Expedited Funds Availability Act. The EFAA and Regulation CC, which implements it, requires us to provide consumers with a schedule of when the funds from deposits they make will become available for use. It requires us to make funds available for consumers no later than on the schedule mandated by Regulation CC, imposes prescriptive rules about our ability to place a hold on a deposit to specific circumstances, for example when we need to research potential fraud, and requires us to provide notice to depositors when a hold is placed.
Truth in Savings Act. The TISA and Regulation DD, which implements it, require us to provide consumers with certain uniform disclosures to enable consumers to make informed decisions about our deposit offerings and to aid in comparison shopping by informing consumers about the fees, annual percentage yield, interest rate, and other terms for our deposit accounts and related transaction and overdraft features. TISA also regulates the payment of interest, calculating the balance on interest paid, calculating the annual-percentage yield, overdraft features, changes in terms on deposit accounts, and the advertising of deposit accounts and promotional offers.
Electronic Fund Transfer Act and NACHA Rules. The federal EFTA, and Regulation E that implements it, provide guidelines and restrictions on the provision of electronic fund transfer services to consumers, and on making an electronic transfer of funds from consumers’ bank accounts. Among other requirements, the EFTA and Regulation E require that financial institutions and providers of electronic fund transfer services limit a consumer’s liability for, and reimburse consumers for, confirmed theft and unauthorized transactions, and impose requirements on remittance transfer, P2P transfer, and overdraft features. In addition, transfers performed by electronic transfers using the ACH network are subject to detailed timing and notification rules and guidelines administered by the NACHA. Most transfers of funds in connection with the origination and repayment of loans are performed by electronic fund transfers, such as ACH transfers. We obtain necessary electronic authorization from borrowers and investors for such transfers in compliance with such rules. EFTA requires that lenders make available loan payment methods other than automatic preauthorized electronic fund transfers, and prohibits lenders from conditioning the approval of a loan transaction on the borrower’s agreement to repay the loan through automatic fund transfers. The NACHA Operating Rules require ACH Originators to perform account validation as part of their commercially reasonable fraudulent transaction detection systems.
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act/Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The federal ESIGN, and similar state laws, particularly the UETA, authorize the creation of legally binding and enforceable agreements utilizing electronic records and signatures. ESIGN and UETA require businesses that want to use electronic records or
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

signatures in consumer transactions and to provide electronic disclosures and other electronic communications to consumers, to obtain the consumer’s consent to receive information electronically.
Bank Secrecy Act. We have implemented various anti-money laundering policies and procedures to comply with applicable federal anti-money laundering laws, regulations and requirements, such as designating a BSA officer, conducting an annual risk assessment, developing internal controls, independent testing, training, and suspicious activity monitoring and reporting. We apply the customer identification and verification program rules pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act amendments to the BSA and its implementing regulations and screen certain customer information against the list of specially designated nationals and other lists of sanctioned countries, persons, and entities maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department’s OFAC. Additionally, SoFi Bank is a financial institution under the BSA that is required to implement a risk-based anti-money laundering program, including customer identification procedures, currency transaction reporting, suspicious activity monitoring and reporting and other recordkeeping requirements. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve expects non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies to comply with certain BSA reporting requirements. In addition, our contracts with financial institution partners and other third parties may contractually require us to maintain an anti-money laundering program.
Office of Foreign Assets Control. The U.S. has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others. These sanctions, which are administered by OFAC, take many different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (i) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on “U.S. persons” engaging in financial or other transactions relating to a sanctioned country or with certain designated persons and entities; (ii) a blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest, by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of U.S. persons); and (iii) restrictions on transactions with or involving certain persons or entities. Blocked assets (for example, property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the Company.
Loan Servicing. We are subject to federal laws regulating loan servicing, including CFPB supervision and regulation, in connection with our loan servicing activities conducted by SoFi Bank and SoFi Lending Corp. In addition, for so long as SoFi Lending Corp. acts as servicer or holds master servicing rights for any of our loans, we are subject to certain state requirements applicable to loan servicers, including licensing. We are subject to such federal supervision and state requirements even in scenarios where we have engaged third-party servicers to perform servicing for our loans. Certain state laws, such as the California Rosenthal Act, apply to creditors and first party servicers, and certain federal and state laws apply to parties that indirectly service loans through the use of third-party servicer contracts. Additionally, we sell certain of the loans we originate to third parties and are therefore subject to laws governing parties that service loans on behalf of another person to whom the debt is owed. We are currently licensed as a loan servicer in several states and may be required to seek additional licenses. If we seek additional licenses, a state has in the past and may in the future impose fines, restrict our activity in that state, or seek other relief for activity conducted prior to the issuance of a license.
Other State Lending Laws. In addition to the state laws applicable to loan servicing to which SoFi Lending Corp. is subject as a holder of servicing rights for certain of our loans, and in addition to applicable federal laws and regulations governing our operations, one or more of our subsidiaries may need, and have obtained, one or more state licenses to broker, acquire, service and/or enforce loans, or to transmit money to or from any particular state. Where we have obtained or may in the future obtain licenses, state licensing statutes may impose a variety of requirements and restrictions on us, including:
•record-keeping requirements;
•restrictions on servicing and collection practices, including limits on finance charges and fees;
•restrictions on collections;
•restrictions on permissible terms in consumer agreements;
•disclosure requirements;
•examination requirements;
•surety bond and minimum net worth requirements;
•permissible investment requirements;
•financial reporting requirements;
•reporting and license renewal requirements;
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

•notification and approval requirements for changes in principal officers, directors, stock ownership or corporate control;
•restrictions on marketing and advertising;
•qualified individual requirements;
•anti-money laundering and compliance program requirements;
•data security and privacy requirements; and
•review requirements for loan forms and other customer-facing documents.
Each state’s laws, regulations and licensing requirements may differ from the laws, regulations and licensing requirements of other states, and state laws often include fee limitations and disclosure and other requirements. Many of these state lending laws are vague and subject to differing interpretation, which exposes us to some risks. The number and complexity of these laws, and vagaries in their interpretations, present compliance and litigation risks from inadvertent error and omissions which we may not be able to eliminate from our operations or activities. The laws, regulations and rules described above are subject to legislative, administrative and judicial interpretation, and some of these laws and regulations have been infrequently interpreted or only recently enacted. Infrequent interpretations of these laws and regulations or an insignificant number of interpretations of recently-enacted laws and regulations can result in ambiguity with respect to permitted conduct under these laws and regulations. Any ambiguity under the laws and regulations to which we are subject may lead to regulatory investigations or enforcement actions and private causes of action, such as class-action lawsuits, with respect to our compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
These statutes may also subject us to the supervisory and examination authority of state regulators in certain cases, and we have experienced, are currently and will likely continue to be subject to and experience exams by state regulators. These examinations have and may continue to result in findings or recommendations that require us to modify our internal controls and/or business practices. If we are found to have engaged in activities that require a state license without having the requisite license, the licensing authority may impose fines, impose restrictions on our operations in the relevant state, or seek other remedies for activities conducted in the state.
Risk Retention Regulations. Our balance sheet is impacted by the risk retention regulations adopted by the SEC that became effective for non-mortgage securitizations in 2016. These rules require issuers of asset-backed securities or persons who organize and initiate asset-backed securities transactions to retain a portion of the underlying assets’ credit risk.
Marketing Regulations. Our marketing and other business practices are subject to federal and state regulation and our expansion into new product offerings, including ETFs and, beginning in January 2024, alternative investment funds, mutual funds and money market funds, under the SoFi Invest product, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny. For example, we and the FTC entered into the FTC Consent Order regarding savings calculations in our student loan refinancing advertisements. In addition, we are subject to the TCPA and other federal and state laws, which regulate, among other things: (i) the use of automated telephone dialing systems to make certain calls or text messages to cellphones without prior consent, and (ii) certain calls and text messages to numbers properly registered on the federal do not call list without permission or an established business relationship. We are also subject to the Federal CAN-SPAM Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule, and analogous state laws, to the extent that we market credit or other products and services by use of email or telephone marketing.
Bankruptcy Laws. We are subject to the United States Bankruptcy Code, which limits the extent to which creditors may seek to enforce debts against parties who have filed for bankruptcy protection. In particular, SoFi Bank’s consumer lending activities are subject to federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, which may affect the enforceability and collectability of consumer loan obligations. In the event of a borrower bankruptcy, SoFi Bank may be subject to automatic stays, court-approved repayment plans, or discharge of indebtedness, any of which could reduce or delay recoveries on consumer loans.
Federal and State Securities Laws. We offer the securities issued in our sponsored securitizations only to, or for the account or benefit of, “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in compliance with Rule 144A and to “non-U.S. persons” outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The securities issued in the securitizations that we sponsor are not registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities laws. We do not offer securitized products to retail investors. We receive opinions from legal counsel for each securitization confirming that the relevant issuing entity is not required to register under the Investment Company Act in reliance on the exclusion available under Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act, although other exemptions or exceptions may also be available.
SoFi Invest and SoFi Money. SoFi Invest is the brand name under which investment and brokerage services are offered through SoFi Wealth, an SEC-registered investment adviser (the “Investment Adviser”) under the Investment Advisers
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) and SoFi Securities, an SEC-registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and FINRA member. We offer investment advisory services through the Investment Adviser, and we offer cash management accounts, which are brokerage products, through SoFi Securities.
The Investment Adviser is subject to the anti-fraud provisions of the Advisers Act and to fiduciary duties derived from these provisions, which apply to its customer’s advisory relationships, including, where applicable, any investment products or accounts for which it provides discretionary advisory services. These provisions and duties impose restrictions and obligations on the Investment Adviser with respect to its dealings with our members, including, for example, restrictions on transactions with our affiliates.
Our Investment Adviser and our broker-dealer have in the past been, and will in the future be, subject to periodic SEC examinations. Our Investment Adviser and our broker-dealer are also subject to other requirements under the Advisers Act and the Exchange Act, respectively, and related regulations. These additional requirements relate to matters including maintaining effective and comprehensive compliance programs, record-keeping and reporting and disclosure requirements. The Advisers Act and the Exchange Act generally grant the SEC broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict an investment adviser or broker-dealer from conducting advisory or brokerage activities, respectively, in the event they fail to comply with federal securities laws. Additional sanctions that may be imposed for failure to comply with applicable requirements include the prohibition of individuals from associating with an investment adviser or broker-dealer, the revocation of registrations and other censures and fines. Even if an investigation or proceeding did not result in a sanction or the sanction imposed against us or our personnel by a regulator was small in monetary amount, the adverse publicity relating to the investigation, proceeding or imposition of these sanctions could harm our reputation and cause us to lose existing members or fail to gain new members.
SoFi Securities is subject to Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act, the “SEC Net Capital Rule”, which requires the maintenance of minimum levels of net capital. The SEC Net Capital Rule is designed to protect customers, counterparties, and creditors by requiring a broker-dealer to have sufficient liquid resources available to satisfy its financial obligations. Net capital is a measure of a broker-dealer’s readily available liquid assets, reduced by its total liabilities (other than approved subordinated debt). Among other things, the SEC Net Capital Rule requires that a broker-dealer provide notice to the SEC and FINRA if its net capital is below certain required levels. There are also certain “early warning” requirements that apply. Our affiliates operating outside the United States may also be subject to other regulatory capital requirements imposed by non-U.S. regulatory authorities.
SoFi Securities is a broker-dealer that does not carry customer security accounts; rather, customer security accounts are carried by an unaffiliated broker-dealer that also clears transactions for these accounts and maintains segregated cash and investments pursuant to Rule 15c3-3 under the Exchange Act (the “Customer Protection Rule”).SoFi Securities operates a cash management account program and, in connection with that program, is subject to the Customer Protection Rule, which requires the maintenance of cash or qualified securities in a segregated reserve account for the exclusive benefit of customers.
FINRA has adopted extensive regulatory requirements relating to sales practices, registration of personnel, compliance and supervision, and compensation and disclosure, to which SoFi Securities and its personnel are subject. FINRA and the SEC also have the authority to conduct periodic examinations of SoFi Securities, and may also conduct administrative proceedings, and have the authority to levy fines and other penalties on SoFi Securities.
SoFi Securities is (i) registered with the MSRB and subject to the MSRB’s regulatory regime, including applicable MSRB rules, and (ii) a Participant of DTC and is, therefore, subject to DTC’s regulatory regime, including applicable DTC rules and bylaws. Moreover, through SoFi Securities, we are licensed to underwrite securities offerings and have served as a firm commitment underwriter of, or as selling agent on, registered equity securities offerings.
SoFi Crypto. The current regulatory framework for digital assets activities is unclear and governments around the world have taken different approaches to regulation. In some jurisdictions, such as the U.S., digital assets are subject to overlapping, uncertain and evolving regulatory requirements. For example, the U.S. Executive Branch, Congress and a number of U.S. federal and state agencies, including FinCEN, CFTC, the SEC, FINRA, CFPB, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS and state financial regulators, have been examining the operations of digital asset networks, digital asset users and digital asset service providers, with particular focus on the extent to which digital assets can be used to violate state or federal laws, including to facilitate the laundering of proceeds of illegal activities or the funding of criminal or terrorist enterprises, and the safety and soundness and consumer-protection practices of entities that hold, transfer, or facilitate transactions in digital assets. Many of these state and federal agencies have issued consumer advisories regarding the risks posed by digital assets to consumers and market participants. In addition, federal and state agencies, and other countries have issued laws, regulations, rules and guidance regarding the treatment of digital asset transactions and requirements for businesses engaged in activities related to digital assets.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
We have made available to members the ability to buy, hold, sell and trade certain digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, through SoFi Bank. Digital assets held by SoFi Bank as a non-fiduciary safekeeping custodian are not insured by the FDIC or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, are not deposit or other obligations of SoFi Bank or any other bank or depository institution, are not guaranteed by SoFi Bank or any other bank or depository institution, and may lose value. The OCC regulates national banks’ participation in crypto-asset activities under the existing federal banking framework, requiring that such activities be conducted in a safe and sound manner and in compliance with applicable laws. The OCC has clarified through interpretive guidance that national banks may engage in certain crypto-related activities, such as custody of digital assets in either a fiduciary or non-fiduciary capacity, perform certain incidental or related functions, including facilitating a customer’s cryptocurrency and fiat currency exchange transactions, transaction settlement, trade execution, record keeping, valuation, tax services, reporting, and other services. The OCC has advised that banks should implement effective internal controls to safeguard assets under custody, produce reliable financial reports, and comply with applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering, sanctions, and consumer protection requirements. These activities remain subject to supervisory expectations, ongoing examination, and applicable capital, liquidity, and third-party risk management standards. The OCC’s approach does not establish a separate crypto-specific regulatory regime, but instead applies traditional banking supervision principles to crypto-asset activities, reflecting heightened supervisory scrutiny given the evolving risks associated with digital assets.
The laws and regulations governing digital assets are rapidly evolving and increasing in scope. We are monitoring legislative and administrative updates, including Executive Orders that may affect the digital assets industry, to promptly implement any compliance measures as may be necessary to support the SoFi Crypto business. As a result of regulatory uncertainties, we may be required to change our business practices, obtain additional licenses or registrations, restructure certain activities, products or services, or suspend or discontinue support for particular digital assets or features, any of which could harm our reputation, reduce revenue, increase compliance costs, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
SoFiUSD Stablecoin. SoFi Bank launched a stablecoin named SoFiUSD (“SoFiUSD”) in December 2025. In July 2025, the U.S. enacted the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act of 2025 (the “GENIUS Act”), which is the first comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins in the U.S. The GENIUS Act requires regulators, including the OCC, to issue regulations to implement various requirements of the law, and will become effective on the earlier of January 18, 2027 or 120 days after the primary federal payment stablecoin regulators issue final implementing regulations. The GENIUS Act provides for the first comprehensive federal regulatory scheme related to payment stablecoins in the United States and is intended to provide increased certainty for market participants and accelerate institutional adoption. For example, the GENIUS Act amends the U.S. federal securities laws to exclude payment stablecoins issued by a “permitted payment stablecoin issuer”, as defined under the GENIUS Act (a “Permitted Issuer”) from the definition of “security”.
The GENIUS Act prohibits any person from issuing a payment stablecoin in the United States unless the person is a Permitted Issuer or a foreign payment stablecoin issuer in a jurisdiction that has been found to have a regulatory and supervisory framework “comparable” to the framework established under the GENIUS Act and that meets certain other requirements. Depending on a number of factors and determinations, a Permitted Issuer may be primarily regulated at the federal or state level. The GENIUS Act also contains certain prohibitions on digital asset service providers offering or selling unlawful stablecoins beginning on July 18, 2028.
Insured depository institutions such as SoFi Bank are not permitted to be Permitted Issuers under the GENIUS Act. However, among other types of entities that may become Permitted Issuers, a subsidiary of an insured depository institution that meets certain requirements may become a Permitted Issuer with the approval of the appropriate federal banking agency with respect to the parent insured depository institution, which is the OCC in the case of SoFi Bank. The GENIUS Act permits the primary federal payment stablecoin regulators to waive the application of certain requirements of GENIUS Act for a period not to exceed 12 months beginning on the effective date of the GENIUS Act, with respect to a subsidiary of an insured depository institution, if the insured depository institution has an application pending on the effective date of the GENIUS Act for the subsidiary to become a Permitted Issuer. SoFi Bank expects to request approval of the OCC to form a subsidiary that will become a Permitted Issuer with respect to SoFiUSD.
The GENIUS Act establishes certain prudential standards applicable to Permitted Issuers. Among other requirements, the GENIUS Act prohibits Permitted Issuers from paying interest or yield solely in connection with the holding, use, or retention of a payment stablecoin of the Permitted Issuer, requires Permitted Issuers to maintain reserves fully backing payment stablecoin obligations, limits the assets permissible for payment stablecoin issuers to hold as reserves and generally requires that reserve assets be maintained free from encumbrances, establishes capital, liquidity and risk management requirements for Permitted Issuers, treats Permitted Issuers as financial institutions required to implement an effective anti-money laundering

program under the BSA, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act, limits the permissible activities of Permitted Issuers, and specifies certain periodic disclosure requirements.
As noted above, the laws and regulations governing digital assets, including stablecoin, are rapidly evolving and increasing in scope. We are monitoring legislative and administrative updates, including Executive Orders that may affect the stablecoin industry, to promptly implement any compliance measures as may be necessary to support the use of SoFiUSD. As a result of regulatory uncertainties, we may be required to change our business practices, obtain additional licenses or registrations, restructure certain activities, products or services, or discontinue or modify SoFiUSD or related features, any of which could harm our reputation, reduce revenue, increase compliance costs, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
SoFi Protect. SoFi operates SoFi Insurance Agency, LLC (“SoFi Insurance”), which in some cases offers products using the brand name “SoFi Protect.” SoFi Insurance maintains agency agreements with insurance carriers and marketing agreements that enable SoFi Insurance to offer members access to multiple insurance products and services, which today include life insurance, automobile insurance, homeowners insurance, renters insurance and “cyber” insurance. We may add new products from time to time. All such insurance products are offered by insurance carriers, not SoFi Insurance. SoFi Insurance Agency, LLC is subject to certain state insurance statutes and regulations.
Privacy and Consumer Information Security
In the ordinary course of our business, we access, collect, store, use, transmit and otherwise process certain types of data, including personal information, which subjects us to certain federal, state and foreign privacy and information security laws, rules, industry standards and regulations designed to regulate consumer information and data privacy, security and protection, and mitigate identity theft. These laws impose obligations with respect to the collection, processing, storage, disposal, use, transfer, retention and disclosure of personal information, and, with limited exceptions, give consumers the right to prevent use of their personal information and disclosure of it to third parties. The GLBA requires us to disclose certain information sharing practices to consumers, and any subsequent changes to such practices, and provide an opportunity for consumers to opt out of certain sharing of their non-public personal information. This may limit our ability to share personal information with third parties for certain purposes, such as marketing. In addition, the CFPB is expected to issue a new rule regulating the disclosure of consumer information, which may limit our ability to receive or use personal information and other consumer information and records supplied by third parties, or share information with third parties. Further, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have adopted data breach notification laws that impose, in varying degrees, an obligation to notify affected individuals and government authorities in the event of a data or security breach or compromise, including when a consumer’s personal information has or may have been accessed by an unauthorized person. These laws may also require us to notify relevant law enforcement, regulators or consumer reporting agencies in the event of a data breach. Some laws may also impose physical and electronic security requirements regarding the safeguarding of personal information.
On January 1, 2020, the CCPA took effect, directly impacting our California business operations and indirectly impacting our operations nationwide. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for certain data breaches that result in the loss of personal information. While personal information that we process that is subject to the GLBA is exempt from the CCPA, the CCPA regulates other personal information that we collect and process in connection with the business. Effective January 1, 2023, an amendment to CCPA imposed additional obligations on companies covered by the legislation, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. The amended CCPA also created a new state agency that is vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA.
In 2025, the CCPA regulations were amended. Effective January 1, 2026, the amended regulations introduce new requirements for periodic risk assessments and mandatory cybersecurity audits for large organizations. In addition, they impose strict obligations on businesses that use automated decision-making technology (ADMT), including for AI-based profiling.
In addition to California, several other states have passed comprehensive privacy laws similar to the CCPA. Certain of these laws are in force and others will enter in effect in the coming years. Like the CCPA, these laws create obligations related to the processing of personal information, as well as special obligations for the processing of “sensitive” data. Some of the provisions of these laws may apply to our business activities. There are also states that are strongly considering comprehensive privacy laws and it is anticipated that other states will be considering these laws in the future. Further, Congress has also been debating passing a federal privacy law. In addition, other states have proposed and/or passed legislation that regulates the privacy and/or security of certain specific types of information. For example, a small number of states have passed laws that regulate biometric data specifically and Washington has passed a law that governs health data, with “health data” defined broadly. These various privacy and security laws may impact our business activities, including our identification of research subjects, relationships with business partners and ultimately the marketing and distribution of our products.

The existence of comprehensive privacy laws in different U.S. states would make our compliance obligations more complex and costly and may increase the likelihood that we may be subject to enforcement actions, civil litigation or otherwise incur liability for noncompliance.
Our broker-dealer and investment adviser is subject to SEC Regulation S-P, which requires that these businesses maintain policies and procedures addressing the protection of customer information and records. This includes protecting against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of customer records and information and against unauthorized access to or use of customer records or information. Regulation S-P also requires these businesses to provide initial and annual privacy notices to customers describing information sharing policies and informing customers of their rights.
On October 22, 2024, the CFPB finalized a new regulation, implementing personal financial data rights established by the Dodd-Frank Act. The rule will require us to make consumers’ data available upon request to consumers and authorized third parties in a secure, reliable manner. It also requires us to implement privacy protections if we seek consumer financial data from another financial institution, as an authorized third party of a consumer. The CFPB is expected to release a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the first quarter of 2026. The rule’s original compliance deadlines are currently stayed as part of ongoing litigation, and are not being enforced while CFPB reconsiders the rule.
We seek to protect our intellectual property by relying on a combination of federal, state and common law in the United States, the laws of foreign countries, as applicable, including Switzerland, as well as on contractual measures. We use a variety of measures, such as trademarks, trade secrets and patents, to protect our intellectual property. We also place appropriate restrictions on our proprietary information to control access and prevent unauthorized disclosures, a key part of our broader risk management strategy.
We have registered several trademarks, including but not limited to: (i) related to our name, “SoFi”, (ii) SoFi’s logo, (iii) our company motto “Get Your Money Right”, and (iv) certain SoFi products, such as “SoFi Money” and “SoFi Invest”. We believe our name, logo, motto and products are important brand identifiers for our members and enterprise partners. In addition, our Technology Platform has been granted several patents.

Our Culture and Human Capital Resources Building a durable culture is and will continue to be a key determinant in our ability to help our members get their money right and ultimately to achieve our mission. Creating great culture is a journey, not a destination. We challenge our employees to integrate each distinct SoFi value enumerated below into their work.

These core values are at the center of how we serve our members, build our company, and work together, as they form the foundation of the SoFi Way—our shared commitment to acting as founders, problem solvers, and partners. At SoFi, we believe our long-term growth and success depend on our ability to attract, develop and retain a high-performing workforce. We believe supporting, developing and inspiring our employees will ultimately unlock the potential of the organization, drive excellence across the business and solidify SoFi as a top career destination where people love to work. We are committed to equal employment opportunity and to making employment decisions based on job-related criteria.
Employees
As of December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 6,100 employees, of which approximately 82% were located in the United States and 18% were located internationally. None of our U.S. based employees are currently represented by a labor union or have terms of employment that are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we have not historically experienced any work stoppages.
Attracting and Retaining Employees
The goal of SoFi recruitment efforts is to attract and hire talented individuals in all roles and at all career levels. We strive to provide both external candidates and internal employees who are seeking a different role with challenging and stimulating career opportunities. These opportunities range from internship programs for students to entry-level, management and executive careers. Attracting talent from all backgrounds and perspectives is important to us, and aligns with one of our core values. We believe in fostering a strong sense of inclusion and belonging for all employees with a lens on representation. Our culture unlocks collaboration, accelerates creativity, and ultimately enables us to accomplish our mission of helping millions of people achieve financial independence.
Learning and Employee Development
We believe strongly in investing in our employees throughout the employee life cycle. Great care is taken to onboard new hires and set them up for success, both in terms of a broad understanding of SoFi’s mission, values, strategic points of

differentiation and products, as well as role-specific learning. To this end, throughout the year we offer ongoing learnings including regular company-level “All Hands” meetings and periodic programming on a diverse range of business topics. To enable continuous learning, we have deployed an enterprise learning management system, which includes access to LinkedIn Learning for continuous professional development.
We also offer ongoing learning opportunities for people managers to ensure they are well-equipped to support and develop their teams. This includes periodic training on our core processes such as performance management, compensation planning and internal mobility, and “always on” content deployed through Manager Central, a centralized hub of resources for people managers.
We use employee feedback to inform the ongoing development of our employee programs directly. In addition to administering a semi-annual survey to gather input from our global workforce, we also conducted specific surveys to gather direct employee feedback on specific topics.
Compensation and Employee Benefits
Our compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and motivate talented, profoundly qualified and committed individuals who believe in our mission, while rewarding employees for long-term value creation. We have a pay-for-performance culture in which employee compensation is aligned to Company performance, as well as individual contributions and impact. Our long-term incentive program aligns employee compensation to the long-term interests of our shareholders, while encouraging them to think and act like owners. As we continue to evolve our programs and practices, we strive for a fair, competitive, transparent, equitable, and well governed approach in recognizing and rewarding our employees. We also have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) pursuant to which employees have the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount.
Additionally, our employees’ and their families health and wellness are integral to SoFi’s success. We have a comprehensive benefits program to support the physical, mental and financial well-being of our employees. For our U.S. based workforce we have one core medical plan in which SoFi pays approximately 95% of the monthly premium and additional medical plans with subsidized premiums. In addition to core medical, we offer fertility and parental benefits to help employees who are looking to grow their family, including a reimbursement solution for eligible family building expenses, a paid parental leave benefit, as well as a partially subsidized back-up family care benefit. To support the mental health of our employees, we offer a benefit that allows them to meet with coaches and clinical care providers at no cost. Our tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment programs in the U.S. provide financial support to our employees, allowing them to advance their education and pay off existing student loan debt. Beginning in 2026, we also began offering matching contributions for eligible participants of our Section 401(k) retirement savings plan.
Our benefits packages also include, among other things, basic life insurance and supplemental life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance, and competitive paid time off. Additionally, our program SoFi Gives is a benefit that provides eligible employees with paid time off to engage in volunteer opportunities within their communities.
Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance Sustainable business practices are embedded into our day-to-day operations, as we continue to make critical investments in our team and infrastructure to be further able to scale and support new avenues of growth. We believe this not only aligns with our top company priority of making our culture better every second of every day, but also improves our profitability and supports long-term value creation for our shareholders.
In 2025, we published our third comprehensive ESG report which shares how our company priorities, core values, mission and commitments to the communities we serve shape how we do business, support our employees, and create a meaningful and lasting impact for our members and customers. This report covers a broad set of ESG-related efforts which have been key to informing our approach, including our people programs, product development processes, community investments and social impact, environmental footprint, corporate governance strategies, risk management operations, public policy initiatives and more. In addition, we have an ESG Committee comprised of key management stakeholders who are tasked with tracking our progress within our ESG initiatives using real world, data-based metrics, as well as devising and executing strategies to create an even greater impact.

Business, Financial and Operational Risks We operate in rapidly evolving industries and have limited experience in parts of our Financial Services and Technology Platform segments, which may make it difficult for us to successfully identify and address the risks and uncertainties we face.
We operate in rapidly evolving industries which may make it difficult to successfully identify risks to our business and evaluate our future prospects. In addition, in recent years, we have rapidly expanded our operations to include or grow, among other things, deposit accounts, credit cards, investment services, technology solutions, home loan originations, small business financing solutions, loan platform business solutions, alternative investments, digital asset and blockchain innovations, and international operations, and we have limited experience in these areas. In the first quarter of 2022, we acquired a bank charter and face risks as a result of our lack of experience operating a bank and as a bank holding company. We also acquired Technisys in the first quarter of 2022, which furthered our international expansion into Latin America and introduced new risks due to our limited history of operations in certain Latin American countries. In 2023, we acquired Wyndham, a fintech mortgage lender, which expanded our home loan business. In 2024, we adopted our Technology Platform’s Cyberbank Core in connection with the launch of a commercial payment services sponsor bank program. In 2025, SoFi Bank launched SoFi Crypto in the U.S., and SoFi Securities (Hong Kong) Limited launched crypto trading in Hong Kong, giving members the ability to buy, sell and hold digital assets, and we launched self-serve global remittance services in over thirty countries, allowing SoFi members to seamlessly and securely transfer money internationally. In addition, in 2025, SoFi Bank launched SoFi Smart Card, a charge card secured by the member’s SoFi Money checking and savings Account, to SoFi Plus members.
In addition to the events above, we face numerous challenges to our success, including our ability to:
•increase or maintain the number, volume and types of, and add new features to, the loans we extend to our members as the market for loans evolves and as we face new and increasing competitive threats;
•successfully integrate our past and future acquisitions;
•increase the number of members utilizing our non-lending products, including our direct deposit feature, and maintain and build on the loyalty of existing members by increasing their use of new or additional products;
•continue to increase our fee-based revenue within our Loan Platform Business, including fees earned for originating loans on behalf of third-party partners and fees earned for referring loans to be originated by third party partners;
•successfully maintain and enhance our diversified funding strategy, including through deposits, securitization financing from consolidated and nonconsolidated VIEs, whole loan sales, and debt warehouse facilities;

•further establish, diversify and refine our checking and savings, credit card, investment and brokerage offerings to meet evolving consumer needs and preferences, such as the introduction of products based on digital asset and blockchain innovations and the SoFi Smart Card;
•offer an attractive annual percentage yield on our deposits compared to our competitors and manage deposit costs;
•diversify our revenue streams across our products and services;
•favorably compete as a service provider with other companies and banks, including traditional and alternative technology-enabled lenders, financial service providers, broker-dealers, social media and other commerce platforms and applications that offer peer-to-peer, in-app and social commerce payment capabilities, and technology platform;
•continue to realize the benefits of operating a bank;
•introduce new products or other offerings, as well as new or improved technologies, to meet the needs of our existing and prospective members and clients or to keep pace with competitive lending, checking and savings, credit card, investment, technology, including digital asset, blockchain and AI innovations, and other developments;
•successfully navigate the evolving regulatory environment for digital assets and blockchain technology;
•maintain or increase the effectiveness of our direct marketing and other sales and marketing efforts, and maintain our brand;
•successfully design, develop, integrate, operate and maintain technology systems at scale and with a high degree of reliability that support our member growth and product adoption;
•successfully navigate economic conditions and fluctuations in the credit markets, including fluctuating inflation and interest rates, and economic uncertainty;
•continue to add new clients and new products to existing clients in our technology platform as a service business;

•successfully navigate the evolving regulatory environment for a technology platform as a service provider;
•establish fraud prevention strategies that proactively identify threat vectors and mitigate losses;
•defend our platform from information security vulnerabilities, cyberattacks or malicious attacks;
•effectively manage the growth of our business;
•effectively manage our expenses;
•obtain debt or equity capital on attractive terms or at all;
•successfully continue to expand internationally;
•adequately respond to macroeconomic and other exogenous challenges, including fluctuating interest rates, market volatility, particularly in the financial services industry, changes in consumer confidence, consumer discretionary spending and loan delinquency rates, pandemics or other health-related crises, the confrontation in Venezuela, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and significant changes related to governmental policy, rules and regulations or executive actions;
•maintain successful relationships with our governmental regulatory agencies and law enforcement authorities, as well as self-regulatory agencies; and
•anticipate and react to changes in an evolving regulatory and political environment.
We may not be able to successfully address the risks and uncertainties we face, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.
We have a history of losses and may experience net losses in the future and there is no assurance that our revenue and business model will be successful.
We have a history of net losses prior to the fourth quarter of 2023. We may incur net losses in the future, and any such losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. We will need to continue to generate and sustain significant revenues

for our business generally and achieve greater scale and generate increasing operating cash flows from our Financial Services and Technology Platform segments, in particular, in future periods, as well as successfully navigate the macroeconomic environment, in order to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We intend to continue to invest in new products and businesses, which has in the past and may in the future cause us to fund and operate aspects of our business at a loss. We also intend to continue to invest in sales and marketing, technology, and additional products and services in order to enhance our brand, our brand recognition and our value proposition to our members, prospective members and clients in our technology platform business, and these continued investments and costs could create further challenges to maintaining or increasing profitability. Our general and administrative expenses have in the past and may in the future increase to meet the increased compliance and other requirements associated with operating as a public company and a bank holding company, operating a bank, and evolving regulatory requirements and policy changes. See “Regulatory, Tax and Other Legal Risks—As a bank holding company, we are subject to extensive supervision and regulation, and changes in laws and regulations applicable to bank holding companies could limit or restrict our activities and could have a material adverse effect on our operations”.
We are continuously refining our revenue and business model, which is premised on creating a virtuous cycle for our members to engage with more products across our platform, a strategy we refer to as the Financial Services Productivity Loop, and, with respect to our Technology Platform segment, adoption by clients of additional platform as a service offerings. There is no assurance that our revenue and business model, or any changes to our revenue and business model to better position us with respect to our competitors, will be successful. Our efforts to continue to grow our business may be more costly than we expect, and we may not be able to maintain or increase our revenue sufficiently to offset our higher operating expenses. We may incur future losses and we may be unable to maintain profitability, for a number of reasons, including the risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, differences between our assumptions and estimates and results, the effects of macroeconomic conditions and other unknown events.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent years, including through the addition of new products and lines of business and entry into new geographies, which may place significant demands on our operational, risk management, sales and marketing, technology, compliance, and finance and accounting resources.
Our rapid growth in certain areas of our business in recent years, primarily within our Financial Services and Technology Platform segments, as well as operating a bank and as a bank holding company, has placed significant demands on our operational, risk management, sales and marketing, technology, compliance, and finance and accounting infrastructure, and has resulted in increased expenses, a trend that we expect to continue as our business grows. In addition, we are required to continuously develop and adapt our systems and infrastructure in response to the increasing sophistication of the consumer financial services market, changing technologies, an evolving fraud, privacy and information security landscape, and regulatory developments, both domestically and internationally, relating to our existing and projected business activities. Our future growth will depend on, among other things, our ability to maintain an operating platform and management system able to address such growth, our ability to grow and optimize deposit balances, and our ongoing ability to demonstrate to our regulators that our risk management and compliance practices are growing and evolving in a commensurate fashion, all of which has required, and we expect will continue to require, us to incur significant additional expenses, expand our workforce and commit additional time from senior management and operational resources. We may not be able to manage supporting and expanding our operations effectively, and any failure to do so would adversely affect our ability to increase the scale of our business, generate projected revenue and control expenses.
Our results of operations and future prospects depend on our ability to retain existing members and attract new members. We face intense and increasing competition and, if we do not compete effectively, our competitive positioning and our operating results will be harmed.
We operate in a rapidly changing and highly competitive industry, and our results of operations and future prospects depend on, among others:
•the continued growth and engagement of our member base;
•our ability to further monetize our member base, including through the use of additional products by our existing members;
•our ability to acquire members at a lower cost; and
•our ability to increase the overall value to us of each of our members while they remain on our platform (which we refer to as a member’s lifetime value).
We expect our competition to continue to increase, as there are no substantial barriers to entry to certain of the markets we serve. Certain of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, particularly with respect to our financial services products, including digital asset and blockchain offerings, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing

and other resources, and a larger customer base than we do. This allows them to potentially offer more competitive pricing or other terms or features, a broader range of financial products, or a more specialized set of specific products or services, as well as respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in member preferences. In addition to established enterprises, we may also face competition from early-stage companies, or companies in industries not typically associated with financial services, such as social media and other commerce platforms, attempting to capitalize on the same, or similar, opportunities as we are. Our existing or future competitors may develop products or services that are similar to our products and services or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products and services. This could attract current or potential members away from our services and reduce our market share in the future. Additionally, when new competitors seek to enter our markets, or when existing market participants seek to increase their market share, these competitors sometimes undercut, or otherwise exert pressure on, the pricing terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share and/or our ability to capitalize on market opportunities.
We currently compete at multiple levels with a variety of competitors, including:
•other personal loan, student loan refinancing, in-school student loan and home loan lenders, including other banks and other financial institutions, as well as credit card issuers, that can offer more competitive interest rates or terms;
•banks and other financial institutions, with respect to our checking and savings accounts;
•rewards credit cards provided by other financial institutions, with respect to our SoFi Credit Card;
•other brokerage firms, including online or mobile platforms, and other companies for our SoFi Invest accounts;
•other mortgage lenders, including fintech-focused lenders, and other companies for our home loans;
•social media and other commerce platforms and applications that offer peer-to-peer, in-app and social commerce payment capabilities;
•other digital asset and global remittance service providers for our SoFi Crypto and self-serve global remittance products;
•other technology platforms with respect to the enterprise services we provide, such as technology products and solutions via Galileo and Technisys;
•other content providers for subscribers to our financial services content, including content from alternative providers available to our subscribers through our Lantern service, which is a financial services aggregator providing marketplace lending products, and various enterprise partnerships; and
•other financial services firms offering employers a comprehensive platform for employees to build financial well-being through student loan and 529 educational plan contributions, educational tools, and financial resources, all of which we provide through SoFi At Work.
We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including, among others, the following:
•the size, diversity and lifetime value of our member base and technology platform clients;
•our ability to introduce successful new products and services, as well as new or improved technologies, or to iterate and innovate on existing products or services to satisfy evolving member and technology platform client preferences or to keep pace with market trends;
•our ability to diversify our revenue streams across our products and services, and cost effectively acquire new members and technology platform clients;
•the timing and market acceptance of our products and services, including developments and enhancements to those products and services, offered by us and our competitors;
•member and technology platform client service and support efforts;
•selling, marketing and promotional efforts;
•our ability to continue to expand the Loan Platform Business with existing and new loan origination partners;
•our ability to continue to increase our fee-based revenue and diversify our revenue base;
•our ability to compete on price, particularly with respect to SoFi Invest and the Technology Platform where demand for our products and services may be affected if we are unable to compete with other brokerages or technology-as-a-service providers on price;
•our ability to offer competitive interest rates on deposit accounts;

•our ability to successfully scale our products and services and execute on our Financial Services Productivity Loop strategy and our other business plans, including successfully integrating our acquisitions and diversifying our technology platform clients into new industry verticals and new geographies;
•general market conditions and their impact on our liquidity and ability to access funding;
•the impact of macroeconomic conditions, including changes in interest rates, stock market volatility, changes in consumer confidence, consumer discretionary spending, and any changes in loan default rates, and related developments on the lending and financial services markets we serve; and
•our brand strength relative to our competitors.
Our current and future business prospects demand that we act to meet these competitive challenges but, in doing so, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected if we, for example, increase marketing or other expenditures or make new expenditures in other areas. Competitive pressures could also result in us reducing the annual percentage rate on the loans we originate, increasing the annual percentage rate we pay on the checking and savings product, charging fees for services we currently provide for free, such as SoFi Plus, incurring higher member or technology platform client acquisition costs, or make it more difficult for us to grow our loan originations in both number of loans and volume by principal balance for new as well as existing members or expand the adoption of additional products by our current, or acquire new, technology platform clients. All of the foregoing factors and events could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.
Market volatility and adverse changes in financial market conditions may increase our market risk.
Our liquidity, competitive position, business, results of operations and financial condition are affected by market risks such as changes in interest rates, fluctuations in equity, commodity and futures prices, the implied volatility of interest rates and credit spreads and other economic and business factors. These market risks may adversely affect, among other things, the value of our securities, the cost of debt capital and our access to credit markets, customer allocation of capital among investment alternatives, and our competitiveness with respect to deposit pricing, and may negatively impact customer confidence in the safety and soundness of banks. In times of market stress or other unforeseen circumstances, previously uncorrelated indicators may become correlated, which may limit the effectiveness of our strategies to manage these risks.
Our future growth depends significantly on our branding and marketing efforts, and if our marketing efforts are not successful or we receive negative publicity, our business and results of operations will be harmed.
We have invested significantly in our brand and believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand identity is critical to our success. Our ability to attract members depends in large part on the success of these marketing efforts and the success of the marketing channels we use to promote our products. Our marketing channels include, but are not limited to, earned media through press, social media and search engine optimization, as well as paid advertising, such as online affiliations, search engine marketing, digital marketing, social media marketing, influencer marketing, offline partnerships, out-of-home, direct mail, lifecycle marketing and television and radio advertising. Our ability to compete for, attract and maintain members, lending counterparties, Loan Platform Business counterparties, marketing partners and other partners relies to a large extent on their trust in our business, our reputation and the value of our brand. While our goal remains to increase the strength, recognition and trust in our brand by increasing our member base and expanding our products and services, if any of our current marketing channels becomes less effective, if regulatory requirements, including the CFPB and FDIC’s advertising rules, restrict or diminish our ability to use these channels, if we are unable to continue to use any of these channels, if we receive negative publicity or fail to maintain our brand, if the cost of using these channels significantly increases or if we are not successful in generating new channels, we may not be able to attract new members or increase the activity of our existing members on our platform in a cost-effective manner. For example, in February 2024, the CFPB released a Consumer Financial Protection Circular, warning digital comparison-shopping tool operators and lead generators that marketing practices that take unreasonable advantage of a consumer’s reasonable reliance on the operator or lead generator to act in the consumer’s interests may violate the CFPA prohibition on abusive acts or practices. Such unreasonable advantage can include distorting the shopping experience for a consumer financial product or service by giving preferential treatment to an operator or lead generator’s own or other products or services through steering or enhanced product placement, for financial or other benefits. If we are unable to recover our marketing costs through increases in the size, value or the overall number of loans we originate, or member selection and utilization of other SoFi products such as SoFi Money, SoFi Invest, SoFi Credit Card and SoFi Crypto, it

could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects. In addition, negative publicity can adversely affect our reputation and damage our brand, and may arise from many sources, including actual or alleged misconduct, errors or improper business practices by employees, employee claims of discrimination or harassment, product failures, existing or future litigation or regulatory actions, inadequate protection of consumer information by us or our third-party service providers, data breaches, matters related to or affecting our financial reporting or compliance with SEC and Nasdaq listing requirements and media coverage, whether accurate or not. Negative publicity or allegations could reduce demand for our products, result in a decrease in the price of our stock, undermine the loyalty of our members and the confidence of our lending counterparties and technology platform clients, impact our partnerships, reduce our ability to recruit and retain employees or lead to greater regulatory scrutiny, all of which could lead to the attrition of our members, lending counterparties, Loan Platform Business counterparties and/or technology platform clients and harm our results of operations. In addition, we and our officers, directors and/or employees have been, and may in the future be, named or otherwise involved in litigation or claims, including employment-related claims such as workplace discrimination or harassment, which could result in negative publicity and/or adversely impact our business, even if we are ultimately successful in defending against or litigating such claims.
Reputational harm, including as a result of our actual or alleged conduct or public opinion of the financial services industry generally, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Reputation risk, or the risk to our business, earnings and capital from negative public opinion, is inherent in our business and continues to increase substantially because of our size and profile in the financial services industry. Moreover, negative public opinion has in the past and could in the future result from actions by the financial services industry generally, including due to the failure of one or more additional banks, or by certain members or individuals in the industry and can adversely affect our reputation with no actual or alleged actions on our part. For example, public opinion of the financial services industry was negatively impacted following the 2023 closures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank and generally resulted in decreases in the stock prices of financial services companies.
Negative public opinion could result from our actual or alleged conduct in any number of activities, including sales and marketing practices; consumer lending practices; loan origination or servicing activities; mortgage foreclosure actions; management of client accounts or investments; lending, investing or other business relationships; identification and management of potential conflicts of interest from transactions; obligations and interests with and among our members or customers; environmental, social and governance practices; litigation or regulatory actions taken by us or to which we are a party; regulatory compliance; risk management; incentive compensation practices; and disclosure, sharing or inadequate protection or improper use of member or customer information, and from actions taken by government regulators and community or other organizations in response to that conduct. Although we have policies and procedures in place intended to detect and prevent conduct by us, our employees and third-party service providers that could potentially harm members or customers or our reputation, there is no assurance that such policies and procedures will be fully effective in preventing such conduct.
Furthermore, our actual or perceived failure to address or prevent any such conduct or otherwise to effectively manage our business or operations could result in significant reputational harm. For example, our marketing strategy includes an emphasis on social media. Social media provides a powerful medium for consumers, employees and others to communicate their approval of or displeasure with a business. This aspect of social media is especially challenging because it allows any individual to reach a broad audience with an ability to respond or react, in near real time, with comments that are often not filtered or checked for accuracy. We monitor social media metrics for their impact on our business but if we are unable to quickly and effectively respond, any negative publicity could “go viral”, causing nearly immediate and potentially significant harm to our brand and reputation, and our business, whether or not factually accurate, including a significant withdrawal of deposits from SoFi Bank within a short period of time.
Our reputation and/or business could be negatively impacted by ESG matters and/or our reporting of such matters.
We communicate certain ESG-related initiatives regarding our employees, climate-related commitments, governance-related metrics, including for executive compensation, and other matters in our ESG Report, on our website, in our filings with the SEC, and elsewhere. These initiatives and commitments could be difficult to achieve and costly to implement. We could fail to achieve, or be perceived to fail to achieve, our ESG-related initiatives or commitments. In addition, we could be criticized for the timing, scope or nature of these initiatives or commitments, or for any revisions to them. To the extent that our required and voluntary disclosures about ESG matters change, we could be criticized for the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of such disclosures. Our actual or perceived failure with respect to our ESG-related initiatives or commitments could negatively impact our reputation, result in ESG-focused investors not purchasing and holding our stock, or otherwise materially harm our business.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
We also face risk from evolving standards, regulations and disclosure requirements related to ESG, which we may fail to satisfactorily meet. For example, a number of state legislators and regulators have adopted or are currently considering proposing or adopting other rules, regulations, directives, initiatives and laws requiring ESG-related disclosures or conduct, including California laws S.B. 253, S.B. 261 and A.B. 1305. The adoption of these and similar laws could require us to, among other things, expend material capital resources in connection with compliance efforts. Furthermore, there continues to be a lack of consistent proposed climate change and ESG-related legislation and guidance, which creates regulatory and economic uncertainty. Such matters can affect the willingness or ability of investors to make an investment in our Company, as well as our ability to meet regulatory requirements. Any failure, or perceived failure, to meet evolving regulations and industry standards could have an adverse effect on us.
In addition, in recent years “anti-ESG” sentiment has gained momentum across the U.S., with several states and Congress having proposed or enacted “anti-ESG” policies, legislation, or initiatives or issued related legal opinions, and President Trump having issued an executive order discouraging diversity equity and inclusion (“DEI”) initiatives in the private sector. Such anti-ESG and anti-DEI-related policies, legislation, initiatives, litigation, legal opinions, and scrutiny could result in volatility of our stock price and the Company facing additional compliance obligations, becoming the subject of investigations and enforcement actions, or sustaining reputational harm.
We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.
We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including changes in the fair values of our instruments (including, but not limited to, our loans), the level of our expenses, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets, general economic conditions, significant changes in default rates on loans, including credit card receivables, the rate and credit market environment and our ability to raise our coupon rates along with interest rates that are higher than those in the recent past, legal or regulatory developments, changing demographics, and legislative, regulatory or policy changes. In light of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.
We sell our loans to a concentrated number of whole loan purchasers and the loss of one or more significant purchasers could have a negative impact on our operating results.
Although we continue to hold loans on-balance sheet for longer periods, when we sell our personal loans, student loans and home loans, we sell to a concentrated number of whole loan purchasers. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of a business is concentrated with a limited number of parties. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our loans by these or other purchasers. In addition, purchases of our loans by these purchasers have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate based on a number of factors, certain of which may be outside of our control, including economic conditions, the availability of alternative investments, changes in the terms of the loans, loans offered by competitors, prevailing interest rates and a change in business plan, liquidity or strategy by the purchaser. If any of these purchasers significantly reduces the dollar amount of the loans it purchases from us, we may be unable to sell those loans to another purchaser on favorable terms or at all, which may require us to reduce originations or hold additional loans on our balance sheet and may reduce our flexibility in making financing decisions. In addition, the loss of one or more significant purchasers of our loans could increase the volatility of the mark-to-market methodology we use to determine the fair value of the loans we hold on balance sheet. This may have a material adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations, capital requirements, liquidity and cash flows.
We originate personal loans under the Loan Platform Business for a concentrated number of counterparties, and the loss of one or more significant Loan Platform Business counterparties could have a negative impact on our operating results.
We originate personal loans under the Loan Platform Business for a concentrated number of counterparties. Although Loan Platform Business counterparties agree to purchase on a largely committed basis, there are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of a business is concentrated with a limited number of parties. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our personal loans by these or other Loan Platform Business counterparties. In addition, purchases of our personal loans by these Loan Platform Business counterparties have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate based on a number of factors, certain of which may be outside of our control, including economic conditions, the availability of alternative investments, changes in the terms of the personal loans, personal loans offered by competitors, prevailing interest rates and a change in business plan, liquidity or strategy by the counterparty. If any of these counterparties significantly reduces the dollar amount of the Loan Platform Business loans it orders from us, we may be unable to find another counterparty for the Loan Platform Business on favorable terms or at all, which may require us to reduce originations under the Loan Platform Business or hold additional loans on balance sheet and may reduce our flexibility in making financing decisions. This may have a material adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations, capital requirements, liquidity and cash flows.

Galileo and Technisys depend on a small number of clients, the loss or disruptions in operations of any of which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses and financial results, and negatively impact our financial results and results of operations.
Galileo and Technisys revenue from clients is highly concentrated and a significant Galileo client recently moved to a competitor. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of net revenue is concentrated with a limited number of clients, including fluctuations in revenue, the loss of any one or more of those clients as a result of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving the client, the loss of additional clients to a competitor, harm to that client’s reputation or financial prospects or other reasons, including adverse general economic conditions affecting Galileo and Technisys clients many of which are fintechs and other financial services firms. Any further reduction in the amount of revenue that we derive from these clients, without an offsetting increase in new sales to other clients, has had and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results in the future. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of our clients could also have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our future operating results. In addition, disruptions in the operations of certain of Galileo’s key clients have had an adverse impact on Galileo, and any future disruptions in the operations of any key Galileo or Technisys clients could be material and have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
We rely on third parties to perform certain key functions, and their failure to perform those functions could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on certain third-party computer systems or third-party service providers, including cloud technology providers such as AWS, internet service providers, payment services providers, including for our self-serve global remittance product, market and third-party data providers, regulatory and compliance services providers, clearing systems, market makers and other liquidity providers, exchange systems, banking technology systems, co-location facilities, communications facilities and other facilities to run our platform, facilitate trades by our members and support or carry out certain functions. For example, to provide our checking and savings account, cash management account, credit cards and other products and services, we rely on third parties that we do not control, such as payment card networks, our acquiring and issuing processors, payment card issuers, various financial institution partners, systems like the ACH, and other partners. We rely on these third parties for a variety of services, including the transmission of transaction data, processing of chargebacks and refunds, settlement of funds, and the provision of information and other elements of our services. In addition, external content providers provide us with financial information, market news, charts, option and stock quotes, digital assets quotes, research reports and other fundamental data that we provide to our members. Any interruption in these third-party services, or deterioration in the quality of their service or performance, could be disruptive to our business. Furthermore, third parties may rely on AI or machine learning for the services they provide us and, given that the regulatory framework relating to the use of AI and machine learning services in the provision of financial services is still developing, the third parties’ use of such technologies may impact their ability to carry out certain functions or impact the quality of their service or performance.
Our third-party service providers are susceptible to, and have experienced, operational, technological and security vulnerabilities, including security incidents and breaches and outages, which may impact our business, and our ability to monitor our third-party service providers’ data security is limited. In addition, these third-party service providers may rely on subcontractors to provide services to us that face similar risks.
Failures or security incidents or breaches by or of our third-party service providers or their subcontractors that result in an interruption in service, unauthorized access, misuse, loss or destruction of data or other similar occurrences could interrupt our business, have in the past and could in the future cause us to incur losses, result in decreased member or client satisfaction and increase member or client attrition, subject us to member or client complaints, significant fines, litigation, disputes, claims, regulatory investigations or other inquiries and harm our reputation. Through contractual provisions and third-party risk management processes, we take steps to require that our providers, and their subcontractors, protect our data and information, including personal data. However, due to the size and complexity of our technology platform and services, the amount of data that we store and the number of members, technology platform clients, employees and third-party service providers with access to personal data, we, our third-party service providers and their subcontractors are potentially vulnerable to a variety of intentional and inadvertent cybersecurity breaches and other security-related incidents and threats, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, any contractual protections we may have from our third-party service providers may not be sufficient to adequately protect us against such consequences, and we may be unable to enforce any such contractual protections. For example, certain of our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our privacy and data security obligations.
In addition, there is no assurance that our third-party service providers or their subcontractors will be able to continue to provide these services to meet our current needs in an efficient, cost-effective manner or that they will be able to adequately
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
expand their services to meet our needs in the future. Certain of our vendor agreements are terminable on short or no notice, and if current vendors were to stop providing services to us on acceptable terms, we may be unable to procure alternatives from other vendors in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at all. An interruption in or the cessation of service by our third-party service providers or their subcontractors, coupled with our possible inability to make alternative arrangements in a smooth, cost-effective and timely manner, could have adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Certain aspects of the services we provide also rely and depend upon the ability of third parties with whom we do not contract directly to perform specified tasks or execute certain functions. For example, our customers access trading venues like securities exchanges through third parties like clearing brokers. If a trading venue experiences a system error and/or a failure of controls, subsequent trades may be impacted, such as trading executed at anomalous pricing. Similarly, if a trading venue experiences an outage, our customer’s ability to place trades or our ability to effect transactions in securities on behalf of customers via our broker-dealer may be impacted. As a result of these impacts, we might experience customer complaints, loss of revenue or other financial loss, or we may have to respond to regulatory inquiries related to such outages.
If a service provider or their subcontractor fails to either provide the services required or expected or meet applicable contractual or regulatory requirements such as service levels or compliance with applicable laws, the failure could negatively impact our business. Such a failure could also adversely affect the perception of the reliability of our networks and services and the quality of our brand, which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Further, we may, from time to time, decide to modify or terminate relationships with third-party service providers and to perform certain functions and/or services internally. For example, we historically used a third party bank to issue the SoFi Money debit cards and sponsor access to debit networks for payment transactions, funding transactions and associated settlement of funds, and sponsor and support ACH, check and wire transactions along with associated funds settlement. However, after gaining direct access to debit networks, we directly perform certain services previously sponsored by the third party bank. Although we have performed these services satisfactorily to date, there is no guarantee we will be able to continue to do so. Additionally, the migration of any such functions and/or services may introduce additional risks and could cause disruption to our business.
Our oversight of third-party service providers is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by our prudential and other regulators, and if our oversight is found to be lacking, it may adversely affect our business.
Because we are a bank holding company subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve, and because SoFi Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the OCC and the FDIC, and SoFi Bank and its affiliates are subject to regulations issued by the CFPB, our and SoFi Bank’s oversight of third-party service providers is subject to regulatory oversight. In 2024, the Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC increased their focus on regulating banks’ relationships and oversight over third-party service providers. For example, these agencies published interagency guidance and a joint statement on banks’ vendor management practices and arrangements with third parties to deliver bank products and services in May 2024 and July 2024, respectively, and these and other regulatory authorities continued to scrutinize and take enforcement actions against banks and their business partners for insufficient third-party management programs in 2024.
In addition, because Galileo provides technology services to SoFi Bank, we are subject to additional regulatory scrutiny under Regulation W which requires, among other things, that arrangements between a bank and its affiliates are on market terms. If a regulatory authority found our or SoFi Bank’s service provider oversight to be deficient or otherwise lacking, the regulatory authority could require that we or SoFi Bank implement corrective action, including limiting or terminating certain relationships with service providers, which could be costly and disruptive to our business and have an adverse effect on our regulatory affairs, reputation and results of operations.
A cyberattack or other security incident could result in significant costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face risks related to cyberattacks and other security incidents, including unauthorized access to or disruption of our information systems and those of our third-party service providers and social engineering schemes that target our employees to gain access to our systems. A successful cyberattack, data breach, or other security incident could result in significant costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. These costs include expenses for incident response, forensic investigations, system and member remediation, data recovery, and business interruption, as well as legal, regulatory, and contractual costs, including costs associated with required notifications, regulatory investigations, fines or penalties, litigation, settlements, and judgments. In addition, a cybersecurity incident could result in increased cybersecurity and insurance costs, including higher premiums or reduced availability of coverage. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, we may face damages resulting from a cybersecurity incident in excess of our insurance policy limits.
Beyond these direct costs, a cybersecurity incident could cause reputational harm, loss of member, prospective member, technology platform client, employee or other third-party partner confidence, reduced demand for our products or services, and diversion of management and employee resources. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See “Information Technology and Data Risks—Cyberattacks and other security incidents and compromises could have an adverse effect on our business and systems, harm our brand and our reputation and expose us to liability. Efforts to prevent and respond to these attacks and incidents are costly” for additional information on the risks of cyberattacks and other security incidents to our business.
The conditional conversion feature of our convertible notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition.
Holders of our convertible notes issued in October 2021 and due in 2026 and our convertible notes issued in March 2024 and due in 2029 (collectively, the “notes”) may be entitled to convert the notes during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their notes, we may settle converted principal through the payment of cash and/or shares of common stock, which could adversely affect our financial results and liquidity and could result in a decline in our stock price.
The Capped Call Transactions may affect the value of the notes and our common stock.
In connection with the issuance of the notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilutive effect on our common stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the Capped Call Transactions, the Capped Call Counterparties or their respective affiliates entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock and/or purchased shares of our common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes.
In addition, the Capped Call Counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and from time to time prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so following any conversion of the notes, any repurchase of the notes by us on any fundamental change repurchase date, any redemption date or any other date on which the notes are retired by us, in each case if we exercise the relevant election to terminate the corresponding portion of the Capped Call Transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock or the notes. The potential effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the market price of our common stock or the notes will depend, in part, on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the Capped Call Transactions, and the Capped Call Transactions may not operate as planned.
The Capped Call Counterparties are financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and we will be subject to the risk that any or all of them might default under the Capped Call Transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the Capped Call Counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. Global economic conditions have, from time to time, resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If a Capped Call Counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under our transactions with that Capped Call Counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors, but, generally, an increase in our exposure will be correlated with increases in the market price or the volatility of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by a Capped Call Counterparty, we may suffer more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of any Capped Call Counterparty.
In addition, the Capped Call Transactions are complex, and they may not operate as planned. For example, the terms of the Capped Call Transactions may be subject to adjustment, modification or, in certain cases, renegotiation if certain corporate or other transactions occur. Accordingly, these transactions may not operate as we intend if we are required to adjust their terms as a result of transactions in the future or upon unanticipated developments that may adversely affect the functioning of the Capped Call Transactions.

Market and Interest Rate Risks Our business and results of operations have in the past and may in the future be adversely affected by the financial markets, fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policies, and economic conditions generally.
Our business and results of operations are directly affected by elements beyond our control, including general economic, political, social and health conditions in the U.S. and in countries abroad. These elements can arise suddenly and the full impact can remain unknown or result in adverse effects, including, but not limited to, extreme volatility in credit, equity and foreign currency markets, changes to buying patterns of our members and prospective members or reductions in the credit quality of our members, and changes to the financial condition of our technology platform clients and prospective clients.
In particular, markets in the U.S. or abroad have been and may in the future be affected by the level and volatility of interest rates, availability and market conditions of financing, recessionary pressures, inflation and hyperinflation, supply chain disruptions, changes in consumer spending, employment levels, labor shortages, changes to fiscal policy, including expansion of U.S. federal deficit spending and resultant debt issuance, federal government shutdowns, developments related to the U.S. federal debt ceiling, changes in legislation, regulations or policy, energy prices, home prices, commercial property values, bankruptcies, a default by a significant market participant or class of counterparties, market volatility, liquidity of the global financial markets, the growth of global trade and commerce, exchange rates, trade policies, the availability and cost of capital and credit, disruption of communication, transportation or energy infrastructure and investor sentiment and confidence. Additionally, global markets have been and may in the future be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflict (e.g., the confrontation in Venezuela, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing war in Ukraine), terrorism or other geopolitical events which may affect our results of operations. For example, although we do not have operations in the locations impacted by these conflicts, the ongoing conflict in these locations has led and could in the future lead to macroeconomic effects, including volatility in commodity prices and the supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, as well as an increase in cyberattacks and espionage. Also, any sudden or prolonged market downturn in the U.S. or abroad, as a result of the above factors or otherwise, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, including capital and liquidity levels. We are not able to predict with any certainty the ultimate impact that any of these events, as well as any other future events, may have on our business.
Significant downturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions have in the past and may in the future also decrease the demand for our products and services and could in the future result in our members reducing their engagement with our platform. In addition, such significant downturns may cause default rates on our loans to increase and cause funding and liquidity concerns for our current and prospective technology platform clients reducing their adoption and use of our platform as a service products and services. Conversely, significant upturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be less proactive in seeking ways to improve the returns on their trading or investment decisions and, thus, decrease the demand for our products and services. Any of these changes could cause our future performance to be uncertain or unpredictable, and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a prolonged weakness in the U.S. equity markets or a general extended economic downturn could cause our members or technology platform clients to incur losses, which in turn could cause our brand and reputation to suffer. If our reputation is harmed, the willingness of our existing members or technology platform clients and potential new members or clients to do business with us could be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is sensitive to interest rates and interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including global, domestic and local economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve increased interest rates throughout 2022 and 2023 before lowering interest rates in 2024 and 2025, and we are unable to predict whether interest rates will increase or decrease in the future. Further changes to prevailing interest rates could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investments and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but such changes have in the past and could in the future also affect (i) our ability to originate loans at competitive rates; (ii) our ability to pay a competitive variable annual percentage yield for deposits; (iii) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities; (iv) the average duration of our loan portfolios and other interest-earning assets; (v) the mix of lending products we originate which is influenced by demand for refinancing products; and (vi) the competition faced by our SoFi Money deposit product from other investment products which may become more attractive as interest rates rise. See “Changing expectations for inflation and fluctuations in interest rates could decrease demand for our lending products and negatively affect loan performance, as well as increase certain operating costs, such as employee compensation” for additional information on the risks of interest rate fluctuations to our business.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Interest rate changes and other actions, including balance sheet management, lending facilities, and various quantitative measures and similar actions taken by the Federal Reserve or other central banks, are beyond our control and difficult to predict. These actions affect interest rates and the value of financial instruments, increase the likelihood of a more volatile market, influence the strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar and the resulting direction of change in gross domestic product, and affect other assets and liabilities and can impact our members and technology platform clients. Any economic downturn, especially in the regions in which we operate, may adversely affect our asset quality, deposit levels, loan demand and results of operations.
Changes or uncertainty with respect to existing laws, regulations and policies, including changes in guidance and interpretation by regulatory authorities, and evolving priorities, including those related to financial regulation, taxation, international trade, fiscal policy, cybersecurity and privacy, digital assets, climate change (including any required reduction of greenhouse gas emissions) and healthcare, may adversely impact U.S. or global economic activity and our members, our technology platform clients, our counterparties and our earnings and operations. For example, changes, or proposed changes, to certain U.S. trade and international investment policies, particularly with important trading partners (including China and the European Union (the “EU”)) have in recent years negatively impacted financial markets. Actions taken by other countries, particularly China, to restrict the activities of businesses, could also negatively affect financial markets. An escalation of tensions, such as a trade war between certain countries or a further escalation in conflict in the Middle East or Eastern Europe or new conflict in Latin America, could lead to further measures that adversely affect financial markets, disrupt world trade and commerce and lead to trade retaliation, including through the use of duties and tariffs, foreign exchange measures or the large-scale sale of U.S. Treasury Bonds.
Any of these developments could adversely affect our business, our members, our technology platform clients, our other counterparties, the value of our loan portfolios, our level of charge-offs and provision for credit losses, our capital levels, our liquidity and our results of operations.
We have the option of pursuing a gain-on-sale origination model and, consequently, our business is affected by the cost and availability of funding in the capital markets.
In addition to the issuance of equity, historically we have funded our operations and capital expenditures through sales of our loans, secured and unsecured borrowing facilities and securitizations. We have the option of pursuing a gain-on-sale origination model and, consequently, our earnings and financial condition are largely dependent on the price we can obtain for our products in the capital markets, which has been and may be negatively impacted by interest rates that are higher than those in the recent past combined with longer periods during which we have held, and may continue to hold, loans on-balance sheet. These capital markets risks may be partially mitigated by the availability of bank deposits and other corporate cash (if any) to temporarily hold the loans on our balance sheet, and by utilizing our Loan Platform Business to originate and sell loans, in certain instances on a fixed fee basis. However, bank deposits and corporate cash have not historically been our primary source of funding and can be impacted by a number of factors, and our Loan Platform Business is new and does not have a significant performance history. Our ability to obtain financing in the capital markets depends, among other things, on our development efforts, business plans, operating performance, lending activities, public perceptions of the financial services industry, and condition of, and our access to, the capital markets at the time we seek financing. The capital markets have from time-to-time experienced periods of significant volatility, including, most recently, volatility driven by benchmark interest rate movements, uncertainty in the financial services sector, the confrontation in Venezuela, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing war in Ukraine, among other things. This volatility can dramatically and adversely affect financing costs when compared to historical norms or make funding unavailable. Additional factors that could make financing more expensive or unavailable to us include, but are not limited to, financial losses, events that have an adverse impact on our reputation, lawsuits challenging our business practices, adverse regulatory changes, changes in the activities of our business partners, loan performance, events that have an adverse impact on the financial services industry generally, counterparty availability, negative credit rating actions with respect to our rated securities, corporate and regulatory actions, interest rate changes, general economic conditions, including changing expectations for inflation, and the legal, regulatory and tax environments governing funding transactions, including existing or future securitization transactions. If financing is difficult, expensive or unavailable, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Changing expectations for inflation and fluctuations in interest rates could decrease demand for our lending products and negatively affect loan performance, as well as increase certain operating costs, such as employee compensation.
The U.S. economy has remained strong despite facing certain headwinds, including, but not limited to, changing U.S. consumer spending patterns, fluctuating inflation and interest rates, reduced consumer discretionary spending, and weakening wage growth, but there is no guarantee that future changes will not have an impact. For example, the Federal Reserve increased
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
interest rates throughout 2022 and 2023 before lowering interest rates in 2024 and 2025. We are unable to predict whether interest rates will increase or decrease in the future. Continued elevated interest rates may decrease borrower demand for certain of our lending products, even as inflation places pressure on consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits as consumers evaluate their prospects for future income growth and employment opportunities in the current economic environment, and as borrowers face uncertainty about the impact of elevated prices on their ability to repay a loan. A change in demand for our lending products and any steps we may take to mitigate such change could impact our credit quality and overall growth. For example, we have experienced lower demand for our home loans in an elevated interest rate environment, as our historical demand has primarily resulted from refinancing, which is less attractive in a higher interest rate environment. We have also focused on personal loan originations to offset the lower demand in other lending products. Personal loans are a higher risk product than home loans or student loans and we have continued to see an increase in the amount of personal loans that we originate which may increase the inherent risk in our overall portfolio. In addition, fluctuating interest rates may increase our cost of capital and ability to offer a competitive interest rate on our loans. Although we closely monitor these increased risks, there is no guarantee we will make the correct adjustments to our originations or make adjustments quickly enough. Furthermore, economic pressure resulting in the inability of a borrower to repay a loan could translate into increased loan defaults, foreclosures and charge-offs and negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.
Additionally, an inflationary environment has increased and may continue to increase the cost of labor, technology, professional services, marketing and other operating inputs, which could lead to higher wages and benefits, increased vendor and third-party service costs, and rising prices for goods and services necessary to support our operations. For example, an inflationary environment combined with a healthy labor market and decreases in the market value of our equity awards could make it more costly for us to attract or retain employees. In order to meet the compensation expectations of our prospective and current employees due to inflationary and other factors, we have in the past and may in the future be required to increase our operating costs or risk losing skilled workers to competitors. See “Personnel and Business Continuity Risks—The job market and the optimization of our workforce creates a challenge and potential risk as we strive to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce” for more information on the risks posed by a competitive labor market. While we may seek to mitigate these impacts through cost controls or efficiency initiatives, there can be no assurance that such measures will be successful or sufficient. If we are unable to offset higher operating expenses with corresponding revenue growth, our margins, profitability, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Fluctuations in interest rates could negatively affect the demand for our checking and savings product.
Falling, low or fluctuating interest rates, including declining interest rates in 2024 and 2025, could have had in the past, and may in the future have, a negative impact on the demand for our checking and savings product. Checking and savings provides members a digital banking experience that offers a variable annual percentage yield, which is at our discretion. If we are not able to offer competitive interest rates on deposit accounts, demand for our checking and savings product may decrease, which may impact our ability to access deposits as a more cost-effective source of funding for our loans. Although we have been in an elevated interest rate environment in recent years, interest rates declined in 2024 and 2025 and there is no guarantee that the interest rate we offer on our deposit accounts will remain competitive and in a falling or low interest rate environment, account holders and prospective account holders may be discouraged from using these products, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.
Higher than expected payment speeds of loans could negatively impact the fair market value of the lending portfolio and our returns as the holder of the residual interests in securitization trusts holding personal and student loans. These factors could materially alter our net revenue or the value of our residual interest holdings.
The rate at which borrowers prepay their loans can have a material impact on our net revenue, the value of our lending portfolio and the value of our residual interests in securitization trusts. Prepayment rates are subject to a variety of economic, social, competitive and other factors, including fluctuations in interest rates, availability of alternative financings, legislative, regulatory or policy changes affecting the student loan market, the home loan market, consumer lending generally and the general economy, including changing expectations for inflation. For example, interest rates continued to decline in 2025, and a lower interest rate environment may lead to higher prepayment rates on loans.
While we anticipate some variability in prepayment rates, extraordinary or extended increases or decreases in prepayment rates could materially affect our liquidity and net revenue. For example, when, as a result of unanticipated prepayment levels, loans within a securitization trust amortize faster than originally contracted due to prepayments, the trust’s pool balance may decline at a rate faster than the prepayment rate assumed when the trust’s bonds were originally issued. If the trust’s pool balance declines faster than originally anticipated, in most of our securitization structures, the bonds issued by that
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
trust will also be repaid faster than originally anticipated. In such cases, our net revenue may decrease, inclusive of our servicing revenue and the diminished value of any retained residual interest by us in the trust.
Finally, in instances of significant slowdowns in payment rates, rating agencies may place bonds on watch or change their ratings on (or their ratings methodology for) the bonds issued by a securitization trust, possibly raising or lowering their ratings, based upon these prepayment rates and their perception of the risk posed by those rates to the timing of the trust cash flows. Placing bonds on watch, changing ratings negatively, proposing or making changes to ratings methodology could: (i) affect our liquidity, (ii) impede our access to the securitization markets, (iii) require changes to our securitization structures, and (iv) raise or lower the value of the residual interests of our future securitization transactions.
We are exposed to financial risks that may be partially mitigated but cannot be eliminated by our hedging activities, which carry their own risks.
We continue to use, and may in the future use, financial instruments for hedging and risk management purposes in order to protect against possible fluctuations in interest rates, or for other reasons that we deem appropriate. In particular, we expect our interest rate risk to increase with our home loans business which continues to grow. However, any current and future hedges we enter into will not completely eliminate the risk associated with fluctuating interest rates and our hedging activities may prove to be ineffective.
The success of our hedging strategy will be subject to our ability to correctly assess counterparty risk and the degree of correlation between the performance of the instruments used in the hedging strategy and any changes in interest rates, along with our ability to continuously recalculate, readjust and execute hedges in an efficient and timely manner. Therefore, though we may enter into transactions to seek to reduce risks, unanticipated changes may create a more negative consequence than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the instruments being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the effect of the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss. Any failure to manage our hedging positions properly or inability to enter into hedging instruments under acceptable terms, or any other unintended or unanticipated economic consequences of our hedging activities, could affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our financial condition and results of operations have been and may in the future be adversely impacted by an epidemic or pandemic.
Occurrences of epidemics or pandemics, depending on their scale, may cause different degrees of disruption to the regional, state and local economies in which we offer our products and services. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in consumer and student behavior, as well as economic disruptions. Any future pandemic or public health crisis may result in, among other impacts, worker shortages, supply chain issues, inflationary pressures, and the reinstatement and subsequent lifting of restrictions and health and safety related measures. Any future epidemics or pandemics or other public health crises could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition, as well as the business, operations and financial conditions of our members, other customers and partners.
See “Our business and results of operations have in the past and may in the future be adversely affected by the financial markets, fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policies, and economic conditions generally” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Business Metrics” and “—Consolidated Results of Operations” for further discussion of the impact of macroeconomic conditions in recent periods on our business and operating results.
Strategic and New Product Risks We have in the past consummated, and from time to time we may evaluate and potentially consummate, acquisitions, which could require significant management attention, disrupt our business and adversely affect our financial results.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our business. In certain circumstances, we may determine to do so through the acquisition of complementary assets, businesses and technologies rather than through internal development. For example: (i) in April 2020, we acquired 8 Limited, an investment business in Hong Kong, (ii) in May 2020, we acquired Galileo, a company that provides technology platform services to financial and non-financial institutions, (iii) in February 2022, we acquired Golden Pacific, a bank holding company, (iv) in March 2022, we acquired Technisys, a cloud-native digital multi-product core banking platform, and (v) in April 2023, we acquired Wyndham, a mortgage lender. The identification of suitable
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
acquisition candidates can be difficult, time-consuming and costly, and we may not be able to successfully complete identified acquisitions. The risks we face in connection with acquisitions include, among others:
•diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to evaluating acquisition targets and addressing acquisition integration challenges;
•coordination of technology, product development, risk management, compliance, sales and marketing and other general administration functions;
•retention of employees from the acquired company and retention of our employees due to cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into our organization;
•integration of the acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resources, third-party risk management and other administrative systems;
•the need to implement or improve controls, procedures and policies at a business that prior to the acquisition may have lacked effective controls, information security and cybersecurity safeguards, procedures and policies, including third-party risk management practices;
•write-offs or impairments of intangible assets, goodwill or other assets recognized in connection with the acquisition;
•liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including patent and trademark infringement claims, violations of laws, including employment laws, commercial disputes, tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities;
•litigation or other claims in connection with the acquired company, including claims from terminated or current employees, customers, former stockholders or other third parties; and
•known and unknown regulatory compliance risks resulting from geographic expansion, including elevated risk factors for tax compliance, money laundering and sanctions controls, and supervisory controls oversight.
Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with our acquisitions and investments could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or investments, cause us to incur unanticipated liabilities and harm our business generally. Future acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, regulatory obligations to further capitalize our business, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, and increased regulatory scrutiny, any of which could harm our financial condition and negatively impact our stockholders. To the extent we pay the consideration for any future acquisitions or investments in cash, it would reduce the amount of cash available to us for other purposes.
Demand for our products may decline if we do not continue to innovate or respond to evolving technological or other changes.
We operate in a dynamic industry characterized by rapidly evolving technology, frequent product introductions, and competition based on product availability, pricing and other differentiators. We continue to explore new product offerings and may rely on our proprietary technology to make our platform available to members, to service member accounts, to provide our technology platform as a service to clients and to introduce new products, which both fosters innovation and introduces new potential liabilities and risks. In addition, we may increasingly rely on technological innovation as we introduce new types of products, expand our current products into new markets, and continue to streamline our platform. For example, we have begun, and expect to continue, to integrate AI into our technology to improve the experience of our members. In 2025, we launched and integrated an AI–driven feature that analyzes users’ SoFi and external accounts to identify suboptimal cash utilization and provides personalized, data-driven recommendations, including recommendations to reallocate funds, reduce balances, and improve overall financial health. In addition, with the introduction of digital asset trading in the U.S. and Hong Kong, and self-serve global remittance, we are utilizing digital assets and blockchain innovations to provide our members with new products and services. However, even if we enhance our current products or release new products that incorporate AI and blockchain innovations, there can be no assurance that our products will be successful or that we will innovate effectively to keep pace with the rapid evolution of AI and blockchain technology. Our ability to integrate AI, blockchain technology or other new technologies may also be limited by new laws or regulatory guidance. See “The launch of digital asset trading in the U.S. and Hong Kong and use of blockchain technology in our product offerings, subjects us to laws and regulations relating to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in various jurisdictions where we conduct our business, and to other risks. Such laws and regulations can be complex, are subject to change, and complying with them across various jurisdictions imposes operational, time, and cost constraints on our business. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations or to address other risks related to these technologies could harm our business and/or result in reputational harm, loss of customers, material financial penalties and legal liabilities” for additional information on the legal and regulatory environment surrounding digital assets. The process of developing new technologies and products is complex, and if we are unable to
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
successfully innovate and continue to deliver a superior member and technology platform client experience, members’ and clients’ demand for our products may decrease and our growth and operations may be harmed.
An increase in fraudulent activity could lead to reputational damage to our brand and material legal, regulatory and financial exposure (including fines and other penalties), and could reduce the use and acceptance of SoFi Money, SoFi Credit Card and SoFi Crypto.
Financial institutions like us, as well as our members, technology platform clients, colleagues, regulators, vendors and other third parties, have experienced a significant increase in fraudulent activity in recent years and will likely continue to be the target of increasingly sophisticated fraudsters and fraud rings in the future. This is particularly true for our newer products where we have limited experience evaluating customer behavior and performing tailored risk assessments, such as checking and savings, credit card and digital assets.
We develop and maintain systems and processes aimed at detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, which require significant investment, maintenance and ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies and regulatory requirements change and as efforts to overcome security and anti-fraud measures become more sophisticated. Despite our efforts, we have in the past and may in the future be subject to fraudulent activity, which may affect our results of operations. For example, our general and administrative expenses in the past have included charges related to fraud events. The possibility of fraudulent or other malicious activities and human error or malfeasance cannot be eliminated entirely and will evolve as new and emerging technology is deployed, including the increasing use of personal mobile and computing devices that are outside of our network and control environments, particularly as a large part of our workforce works remotely. Risks associated with each of these include theft of funds and other monetary loss, the effects of which could be compounded if not detected quickly. Fraudulent activity may not be detected until well after it occurs and the severity and potential impact may not be fully known for a substantial period of time after it has been discovered.
Fraudulent activity and other actual or perceived failures to maintain a product’s integrity and/or security has led to increased regulatory scrutiny and may lead to regulatory investigations and intervention (such as mandatory card reissuance), increased litigation (including class action litigation), remediation, fines and response costs, negative assessments of us and our subsidiaries by regulators and rating agencies, reputational and financial damage to our brand, and reduced usage of our products and services, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, we offer certain fraud and compliance and risk management services to technology platform clients as part of our platform as a service offerings and regulatory scrutiny of these types of services has increased recently. Any failure in these services provided to technology platform clients could result in regulatory actions or fines, and potential loss of client accounts.
Our SoFi Crypto offering exposes us to additional fraud risk. Cryptocurrency transactions and related activities are subject to elevated fraud risks due to factors such as pseudonymity, rapid transaction settlement, limited ability to reverse transactions, evolving fraud techniques, and the use of decentralized or third-party platforms that may be outside our control. Fraudulent activities may include account takeovers, social engineering schemes, scams, theft of private keys, malware attacks, and misuse of our platforms to facilitate illicit activity.
While we employ fraud detection, monitoring, and compliance controls designed to mitigate these risks, such controls may be less effective in identifying or preventing cryptocurrency-related fraud compared to traditional financial products, particularly as fraudsters continue to adapt their methods. If fraud occurs, we may incur financial losses, increased operational and compliance costs, customer remediation expenses, regulatory scrutiny, reputational harm, and potential legal liability. Any failure to effectively prevent, detect, or respond to cryptocurrency-related fraud could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Successful fraudulent activity and other incidents related to the actual or perceived failures to maintain the integrity of our processes and controls could negatively affect us, including harming the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures or harming the reputation of the financial system in general, which could result in reduced use of our products and services. Such events could also result in legislation and additional regulatory requirements. Although we maintain insurance, including specifically with respect to our digital asset products, there can be no assurance that liabilities or losses we may incur will be covered under such policies or that the amount of insurance will be adequate.
We may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of acquiring Technisys.
We closed the Technisys acquisition in March 2022 and its operations have been largely integrated into our business. The success of the Technisys acquisition, including anticipated benefits and cost savings and potential additional revenue opportunities, will depend, in part, on our ability to realize various benefits, including, among other things, the development of an end-to-end vertically integrated banking technology stack to support multiple products and enable the combined company to
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
meet the expanding needs of existing customers and serve additional established banks, fintechs and non-financial brands looking to enter financial services. The inability to realize our expected cost savings in connection with the Technisys’ acquisition could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues, lost cost savings and incremental revenue opportunities and diversion of management’s time and energy and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.
We may continue to expand operations abroad where we have limited operating experience and may be subject to increased business, economic and regulatory risks that could adversely impact our financial results.
In April 2020, we undertook our first international expansion by acquiring 8 Limited, an investment business in Hong Kong. Additionally, with the acquisition of Galileo in May 2020, we gained clients in Canada, Mexico and Colombia and, with the acquisition of Technisys in March 2022, we further expanded our operations into Latin America. In 2025, we expanded our consumer banking product with the introduction of self-serve global remittance services in over thirty countries. We may, in the future, continue to pursue further international expansion of our business operations, either organically or through acquisitions, in new international markets where we have limited or no experience in marketing, selling and deploying our products and services. If we fail to deploy or manage our operations in these countries successfully, our business and operations may suffer. In addition, we are subject to a variety of risks inherent in doing business internationally, including:
•political, social and/or economic instability or military conflict;
•risks related to governmental regulations in foreign jurisdictions, including regulations relating to privacy, and unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and enforcement;
•fluctuations in currency exchange rates and global market volatility;
•higher levels of credit risk and fraud;
•enhanced difficulties of integrating foreign acquisitions;
•burdens of enforcing and complying with a variety of foreign laws;
•reduced protection for intellectual property rights in certain countries;
•difficulties in staffing and managing global operations and the increased travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with multiple international locations and subsidiaries;
•different regulations and practices with respect to employee/employer relationships, existence of workers’ councils and labor unions, and other challenges caused by distance, language, and cultural differences, making it harder to do business in certain international jurisdictions;
•compliance with statutory equity requirements; and
•management of tax consequences.
If we are unable to manage the complexity of global operations successfully, our financial performance and operating results could suffer.
The launch of digital asset trading in the U.S. and Hong Kong and use of blockchain technology in our product offerings, subjects us to laws and regulations relating to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in various jurisdictions where we conduct our business, and to other risks. Such laws and regulations can be complex, are subject to change, and complying with them across various jurisdictions imposes operational, time, and cost constraints on our business. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations or to address other risks related to these technologies could harm our business and/or result in reputational harm, loss of customers, material financial penalties and legal liabilities.
In 2025, we launched SoFi Crypto in the U.S. and digital asset trading in Hong Kong, allowing our members to buy, sell and hold digital assets, which, along with any additional cryptocurrency products and other products that utilize blockchain technology that we may offer in the future, subjects us to additional regulations, licensing requirements, and other obligations. Compliance with any such regulations, requirements, or obligations may be complex and costly. Cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender, are not backed by most governments, and have experienced technological flaws and various law enforcement and regulatory interventions. In addition, in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions, certain cryptocurrencies may be deemed to be securities and subject to the securities laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Furthermore, our crypto offering in Hong Kong is subject to evolving regulatory requirements under Hong Kong’s licensing and virtual asset regime. Although Hong Kong has established a licensing framework for virtual asset trading platforms and related services, these rules are complex, subject to change, and may impose additional compliance obligations on firms engaging in crypto activities. The rapidly evolving regulatory landscape with respect to cryptocurrencies may subject us to registrations, inquiries, or
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
investigations from regulators and governmental authorities; require us to make product changes; restrict or discontinue product offerings; and implement additional and potentially costly controls. If we fail to comply with regulations, requirements, prohibitions or other obligations applicable to us, we could face regulatory or other enforcement actions and potential fines or reputational harm, be forced to cease offering cryptocurrency products, and other consequences, including significant financial losses.
Cryptocurrencies have in the past and may in the future experience periods of extreme price volatility. These uncertainties, as well as future accounting and tax developments, or other requirements relating to cryptocurrencies could expose us to litigation, regulatory action and possible liability, and have an adverse effect on our business.
As we enter into and expand our cryptocurrency product and service offerings, the risks associated with failing to safeguard and manage cryptocurrencies held by us or our custodians, or that our service providers transfer on behalf of our customers, may increase. In addition, a number of errors could occur in the process of depositing or withdrawing cryptocurrencies such as typos, mistakes or failure to include information required by the blockchain network, or any other internal failures or deficiencies in our own systems or those of any custodian or other third party provider we may use, could, in each case, materially and adversely affect our members and our operations. In addition, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have been, and might in the future be, subject to security breaches, hacking or other malicious activities. Failures in internal controls or key management practices, whether by us or a service provider, could lead to irreversible asset loss or unauthorized transfers. Defaults by counterparties or systemic stress in crypto-asset markets may also pose significant liquidity, settlement, or valuation risks. Any such failure or event could result in reputational harm, significant financial losses, lead customers to discontinue or reduce their use of our services, and result in significant penalties and fines and additional restrictions.
In addition, we may rely on third parties for certain aspects of cryptocurrency offerings and reliance on third parties involves risks. For example, inappropriate access to, theft, destruction or other loss of cryptocurrency assets held by any counterparty we may use, insufficient insurance coverage by us or any such counterparty to reimburse us for all such losses, such counterparty’s failure to maintain effective controls over the custody, asset and settlement services provided to us, such counterparty’s inability to purchase or liquidate cryptocurrency holdings, and defaults on financial or performance obligations by counterparty financial institutions, could materially and adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our business.
In addition, we plan to integrate blockchain technology from a third party provider into certain of our products. Any number of technical changes, software upgrades, cybersecurity incidents or other changes to the underlying blockchain networks might occur from time to time, causing incompatibility, technical issues, disruptions or security weaknesses to our products. If we or our third party provider are unable to identify, troubleshoot and resolve any such issues successfully, we might no longer be able to support such products, our customers’ assets might be frozen or lost, the security of our products might be compromised and our platforms and technical infrastructure might be affected, all of which could cause revenue to decline and expose us to potential liability for customer losses.
We are new to global remittance services and engaging in such services exposes us to numerous risks, including compliance with complex laws and regulations across jurisdictions, and operational risks, each of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We recently launched global remittance services between the United States and thirty countries, including Mexico, India, Brazil and the European Union, and we expect to expand these and similar services to and between other international locations. The success of this product depends in part on our ability to provide global remittance services compliantly, efficiently and securely. Global remittance services involve complex regulatory, legal, and compliance requirements, including licensing, anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, economic sanctions, data privacy and cybersecurity, customer disclosure, foreign exchange control laws, and monitoring, examination, and oversight by regulatory agencies across multiple jurisdictions. These frameworks differ significantly between countries and are subject to change, interpretation, and enforcement by various authorities. Failure to maintain compliance, or even the perception of noncompliance, may result in investigations, penalties, restrictions on our operations, or the loss of licenses and banking relationships necessary to provide global remittance services.
Our compliance and regulatory risk related to global remittance services is expected to increase as we expand our operations into additional jurisdictions because the provision of global remittance services is highly regulated, and the requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We are currently working with third-party partners who are licensed to provide global remittance services in the jurisdictions in which we operate and plan to operate. We may, as our global remittance services expand, obtain licenses directly in various jurisdictions. If we become licensed to provide these services by various governmental authorities, we would become subject to extensive financial, operational, and other regulatory
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
requirements to maintain our licenses and conduct business. If our licenses are not renewed or we are denied licenses in additional jurisdictions where we choose to apply for a license, we could be forced to change our business practices or to comply with the requirements of the additional jurisdictions, each of which could require us to bear substantial cost. Further, if we were found by these governmental authorities to be in violation of any applicable laws or regulations required to provide global remittance services, we could be subject to fines, penalties, lawsuits, and enforcement actions; additional compliance requirements; increased regulatory scrutiny of our business; restriction or suspension of our operations; or damage to our reputation or brand. Regulatory requirements are constantly evolving, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to meet changes to existing regulations or the introduction of new regulations without harming our business, financial condition, operating results, and future prospects.
Additionally, global remittance services are subject to higher operational risks, including delays, transaction errors, and fraudulent activities, particularly in regions with less developed financial infrastructure, including settlement timing differences, and exposure to local liquidity constraints which may impact the predictability and profitability of our global remittance services. Political instability, trade restrictions, current or new tax laws, or economic sanctions imposed on certain countries may further restrict our ability to provide global remittance services in specific markets.
Furthermore, we currently rely on third-party partners to facilitate global remittance services and may rely on additional third-parties in the future. In addition, our third-party partners may rely on local partners for delivery of their services. Any disruption, error, or compliance failure by these partners could lead to financial loss, reputational damage, and customer dissatisfaction, including related to the experience of our members’ recipients. If the experience delivered to a recipient is deemed unsatisfactory for any reason, including if a third-party partner’s processes take longer than expected, members may choose to not use our services in the future and our business could be harmed. Additionally, third-party partners charge fees, which may increase from time to time, and which could increase our costs. Banks currently determine the fees charged for bank-originated transactions and may increase the fees with little prior notice. U.S. federal, state, local or foreign governments could also mandate a tax on global remittance services, or require additional taxes or fees to be imposed upon our customers, or otherwise impact the manner in which we provide global remittance services. If fees increase, it may require us to change our product options, or take other measures that would impact our costs and profitability or cause us to lose members or otherwise limit our operations.
If we are unable to effectively manage these risks or adapt our operations to evolving international regulatory environments, our ability to further expand our global remittance services and similar services, and maintain compliance could be impaired, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Credit Market Related Risks We operate in a cyclical industry. In an economic downturn, member default rates may increase, there may be decreased demand for our products, and there may be adverse impacts to our business.
Recent macroeconomic factors, such as fluctuating interest rates, inflation, global events and market volatility and general uncertainty, may cause the economy to enter into a period of slower economic growth or a recession, the length and severity of which cannot be predicted. Such uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions can have a significant negative impact on our ability to generate adequate revenue and to absorb expected and unexpected losses. Many factors, including factors that are beyond our control, may result in higher default rates by our members and non-payment by our technology platform clients, a decline in the demand for our products, including a reduction in deposits, and potentially impact our ability to make accurate credit assessments, lending decisions or technology platform client selections. Any of these factors could have a detrimental impact on our financial performance and liquidity.
Our Lending and Financial Services segments may be particularly negatively impacted by worsening economic conditions that place financial stress on our members resulting in loan defaults or charge-offs. If a loan charges off while we are still the owner, the loan either enters a collections process or is sold to a third-party collection agency and, in either case, we will receive less than the full outstanding interest on, and principal balance of, the loan. Declining economic conditions may also lead to either decreased demand for our loans or demand for a higher yield on our loans, and consequently lower prices or a lower advance rate, from institutional whole loan purchasers, securitization investors and warehouse lenders on whom we rely for liquidity. Declining economic conditions and any resulting increase in charge-offs may also reduce demand for our personal loans by Loan Platform Business counterparties.
The longevity and severity of a downturn or recession would also place pressure on lenders under our debt warehouses, whole loan purchasers, Loan Platform Business counterparties and investors in our securitizations, each of whom may have less available liquidity to invest in our loans, and long-term market disruptions could negatively impact the

securitization market as a whole. Although certain of our debt warehouses contain committed terms, there can be no assurance that our financing arrangements or Loan Platform Business loan origination and sale arrangements will remain available to us through any particular business cycle or be renewed on the same terms. The timing and extent of a downturn may also require us to change, postpone or cancel our strategic initiatives or growth plans to pursue shorter-term sustainability. The longer and more severe an economic downturn, the greater the potential adverse impact on us.
An economic downturn or recession could also adversely affect our Financial Services products, including our deposit base and funding profile and assets held through SoFi Invest or SoFi Crypto. During periods of economic stress, members may experience job losses, reduced income, or increased uncertainty, which could lead them to draw down savings to meet living expenses or shift funds toward perceived safer or more liquid alternatives. These behaviors may result in deposit outflows, lower average balances in checking and savings accounts or lower average investments made through SoFi Invest or SoFi Crypto investments. In addition, heightened market volatility or concerns about the financial sector could increase member sensitivity to interest rates, safety perceptions, and liquidity needs, intensifying competition for deposits and increasing our funding costs. A sustained decline in deposits or an unfavorable shift in deposit composition could reduce our access to low-cost, stable funding and increase our reliance on alternative or wholesale funding sources, which may be more expensive or less available during a recession. Such conditions could adversely affect our net interest margin, liquidity position, and ability to grow or maintain our balance sheet. If these pressures are prolonged or severe, they could also constrain our ability to support member demand, comply with regulatory liquidity requirements, or pursue strategic initiatives, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our Technology Platform segment is also susceptible to worsening economic conditions that place financial stress on our current clients using our platform as a service products and services and potential new clients interested in such services. These clients and potential clients may experience liquidity and other financial issues or strategically slowdown growth, any of which could lead them to decrease or terminate their use of our technology platform services or delay or reject implementation of new or expanded products and services. Any such actions with respect to our technology platform products and services could have an adverse impact on our business.
There can be no assurance that economic conditions will be favorable for our business, that interest in purchasing our loans by financial institutions, the ability of members to invest in our products or investment by clients in our platform as a service products and services will remain at current levels, or that default rates by our members or instances of non-payment by our technology platform clients will not increase or that demand for our products will not decrease. Reduced demand, lower prices or a lower advance rate for our loan products from institutional whole loan purchasers, Loan Platform Business counterparties, securitization investors and warehouse lenders, increased default rates by our members, and reduced demand, lower prices and increased non-payment by our technology platform clients, may limit our access to capital, including debt warehouse facilities, Loan Platform Business loan origination and sale arrangements, securitizations and secured and unsecured borrowing facilities, and negatively impact our profitability. These impacts, in addition to limiting our access to capital and negatively impacting our profitability, could also in turn increase the volatility of the mark-to-market methodology and indicators of credit risk that we use to determine the fair value of certain loans and expected credit losses on credit card receivables that we hold on balance sheet, and consequently have a material adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations, capital requirements, liquidity and cash flows.
If we do not make accurate credit and pricing decisions or effectively forecast our loss rates, our business and financial results will be harmed, and the harm could be material.
In deciding whether to extend credit to prospective or existing members, we rely upon data to assess our ability to extend credit within our risk appetite, our debt servicing capacity, and overall risk level to determine lending exposure and loan pricing. If the decision components, rapidly deteriorating macroeconomic conditions or analytics are either unstable, biased, or missing key pieces of information, the wrong decisions will be made, which will negatively affect our financial results. If our credit decisioning strategy fails to adequately predict the creditworthiness of our members, including a failure to predict a member’s true credit risk profile and ability to repay their loan or credit card balance, higher than expected loss rates will impact the fair value of certain loans and expected credit losses on credit card receivables. Additionally, if any portion of the information pertaining to the prospective member is false, inaccurate or incomplete, and our systems did not detect such falsities, inaccuracies or incompleteness, or any or all of the other components of our credit decision process fails, we may experience higher than forecasted losses, including losses attributed to fraud. Furthermore, we rely on credit reporting agencies to obtain credit reports and other information we rely upon in making underwriting and pricing decisions. If one of these third parties experiences an outage, if we are unable to access the third-party data used in our decision strategy, if such data contains inaccuracies or our access to such data is limited, our ability to accurately evaluate potential members will be compromised, and we may be unable to effectively predict credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio, which would negatively impact our results of operations, which could be material.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Additionally, if we make errors in the development, validation, or implementation of any of the underwriting models or tools that we use for the loans securing our debt warehouses or included in securitization transactions or whole loan sales, or originated and sold to Loan Platform Business counterparties, such loans may experience higher delinquencies and losses, which would negatively impact our debt warehouse financing terms and future securitization, whole loan sale transactions and Loan Platform Business loan origination and sale arrangements.
If the information provided to us by applicants is incorrect or fraudulent, we may misjudge an applicant’s qualification to receive a loan or use one of our products, and our results of operations may be harmed.
Our lending and platform access decisions are based partly on information provided to us by applicants. To the extent that an applicant provides information to us in a manner that we are unable to verify, or the information provided by an applicant consists of data obtained under false pretenses by third parties, is a manufactured/synthetic identity, or is a stolen identity, our credit decisioning process may not accurately reflect the associated risk. In addition, data provided by third-party sources, including credit reporting agencies, is a significant component of our credit decisions and this data may contain inaccuracies. Inaccurate analysis of credit data that could result from false loan application information could harm our reputation, business and results of operations. Additionally, we rely on the accuracy of applicant information in approving applicants for our non-lending products, such as SoFi Money, SoFi Credit Card, SoFi Invest or SoFi Crypto accounts. If the information provided to us by these applicants is incorrect or fraudulent and we are unable to detect the inaccuracies, it increases our regulatory and fraud risk and the risk of identity theft to our members, and could harm our reputation, business and results of operations.
We use identity and fraud prevention tools to analyze data provided by external databases or automated physical identity document proofing technologies to authenticate each applicant’s identity. These fraud prevention tools, scores, and data aggregators are reliant on sustained access to reliable data sources to facilitate robust verification which have reduced effectiveness with diminished data access. From time to time in the past, however, these checks have failed and there is a risk that these checks could fail in the future and fraud, which may be significant, may occur and go undetected. For example, in the past we have identified certain fraudulent activity related to our personal loan products. While the fraudulent activity was detected and the losses were recognized in our results of operations, there can be no assurance there will not be future instances of fraud, that we will be able to detect such fraudulent activity in a timely manner, or that such future fraudulent activity will not be material. We may not be able to recoup funds underlying loans made in connection with inaccurate statements, omissions of fact or fraud, in which case our revenue, results of operations and profitability will be harmed. Fraudulent activity or significant increases in fraudulent activity could also lead to regulatory intervention, which could negatively impact our results of operations, brand and reputation, and require us to take steps to reduce fraud risk, which could increase our costs.
Internet-based loan origination processes may give rise to greater risks than paper-based processes.
We use internet-based loan processes to obtain application information and distribute certain legally required notices to applicants for, and borrowers of, loans and to obtain electronically signed loan documents in lieu of paper documents with ink signatures obtained in person. These processes may entail greater risks than paper-based loan origination processes, including regarding the sufficiency of notice for compliance with consumer protection laws, risks that borrowers may challenge the authenticity of loan documents, or the validity of the borrower’s electronic signature on loan documents, and risks that unauthorized changes are made to the electronic loan documents. If any of those factors were to cause our loans, or any of the terms of our loans, to be unenforceable against the relevant borrowers, or impair our ability to service our loans (as master servicer or servicer), the value of our loan assets would decrease significantly to us and to our whole loan purchasers, Loan Platform Business counterparties, securitization investors and warehouse lenders. In addition to increased default rates and losses on our loans, this could lead to the loss of whole loan purchasers, Loan Platform Business counterparties, and securitization investors and trigger terminations and amortizations under our debt warehouse facilities, each of which would materially adversely impact our business.
Student loans are subject to discharge in certain circumstances.
SoFi private education loans may be discharged in bankruptcy in certain situations, such as if a bankruptcy court determines that the loan is either not a qualified education loan (as defined in 225(d)(4)) of the Internal Revenue Code) or determines that not discharging the debt would impose an undue hardship on the debtor and the debtor’s dependents. Changes in law, how courts apply the law, regulations or governmental policies could increase the number of student loans subject to discharge in certain circumstances which could adversely affect our business. A private education loan may also be generally dischargeable as a result of the death or disability of the borrower.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
If a higher percentage of borrowers obtain relief under bankruptcy or other debtor relief laws in the future than is reflected in our historical experience, we could experience increased loan discharges, reduced recoveries, higher charge-offs, and increased litigation and compliance costs. In addition, adverse judicial developments could result in class action litigation, injunctions, or regulatory scrutiny relating to our servicing or collection practices with respect to such loans. Any such developments could negatively impact the value of our student loan portfolio, the performance of related securitizations, and our financial condition and results of operations. See “Regulatory, Tax and Other Legal Risks—Legislative and regulatory policies and related actions have had and could in the future have a material adverse effect on borrower behavior, our student loan portfolios and our student loan origination volume”.
Home equity loans expose us to heightened credit, property value and interest rate risk.
Home equity loans are subject to subordinate liens on the related property. Subordinate lien loans are structurally riskier than first lien loans because, in the event of borrower default or foreclosure, holders of first lien mortgages are entitled to repayment before subordinate lien holders. As a result, recoveries on subordinate lien loans are more sensitive to declines in residential property values and may be limited or eliminated if property values decrease or if combined loan-to-value ratios increase, In addition, changes in interest rates may adversely affect the performance and value of these loans. Rising interest rates may increase borrower payment obligations for variable-rate loans and could contribute to higher delinquency or default rates. Conversely, declining interest rates may increase prepayment activity, which could reduce expected yields. Interest rate fluctuations may also negatively impact the fair value of home equity loans held on our balance sheet. If residential property values decline, interest rates increase, or broader economic conditions weaken, we may experience higher credit losses, increased delinquencies, reduced recoveries, and impairment charges on our home equity loan portfolio, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our ability to sell home equity loans may be limited because these loans are not categorized as conventional for GSE purchasers.
We offer personal loans, which have a limited performance history, and therefore we have only limited prepayment, loss and delinquency data with respect to such loans on which to base projections.
The performance of the personal loans we offer is significantly dependent on the ability of the credit decisioning, income validation, and scoring models we use to originate such loans, which include a variety of factors, to effectively evaluate an applicant’s credit profile and likelihood of default. Despite recession-readiness planning and stress forecasting, there is no assurance that our credit criteria can accurately predict loan performance under economic conditions such as a prolonged down-cycle or recessionary economic environment or the governmental response to periods of disruption, which may drive unexpected outcomes. If our criteria do not accurately reflect credit risk on the personal loans, greater than expected losses may result on these loans and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, personal loans are dischargeable in a bankruptcy proceeding involving a borrower without the need for the borrower to file an adversary proceeding. The discharge of a significant amount of our personal loans could adversely affect our financial condition. Furthermore, other characteristics of personal loans may increase the risk of default or fraud and there are few restrictions on the uses that may be made of personal loans by borrowers, which may result in increased levels of credit consumption. We also originate a material portion of our personal loans through ACH deposits directly to the borrowers, which may result in a higher risk of fraud. The effect of these factors may be to reduce the amounts collected on our personal loans and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
We service all of the personal loans we originate and credit cards we issue, as well as other loans, and have limited servicing experience, and we rely on third-party service providers to service the student loans and home loans we originate, and to perform various other functions in connection with the origination and servicing of certain loans. If we or a third-party service provider fails to properly perform these functions, our business and our ability to service our loans may be adversely affected.
We service all of the personal loans we originate as well as certain loans originated by third parties and, in all material respects, all of the credit cards we issue, and we have limited experience with such servicing. We may begin servicing the student loans that we originate in the future. We rely on sub-servicers to service all of our student loans, our home loans that we deliver to GSEs and do not sell servicing-released and certain home equity loans, and to perform certain back-up servicing functions with respect to our personal loans. In addition, we rely on third-party service providers to perform various functions relating to our loan origination and servicing business, including fraud detection, marketing, operational functions, cloud infrastructure services, information technology, telecommunications and processing remotely created checks. While we oversee these service providers to ensure they service our loans in accordance with our agreements and regulatory requirements, we do not have control over the operations of any of the third-party service providers that we utilize. In the event that a third-party service provider for any reason fails to perform such functions, including through negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, our
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
ability to process payments and perform other operational functions for which we currently rely on such third-party service providers will suffer and our business, cash flows and future prospects may be negatively impacted. Such third-party service provider failures could also result in, among other things, increased regulatory scrutiny of our third-party service provider oversight, costly investigations, required corrective action and remediation, regulatory enforcement actions, class action lawsuits, and harm to our reputation.
Any failure on our part or on the part of third parties on whom we rely to perform functions related to our servicing activities to properly service our loans or the loans originated by third parties could result in us being removed as the servicer on the loans, including loans financed by our warehouse facilities or sold into our whole loan sales channel and securitization transactions or to Loan Platform Business counterparties. If we fail to monitor our student loan sub-servicer and ensure that such sub-servicer complies with its obligations under state laws that require student loan servicers to be licensed, we may face civil claims for damages under such state laws. Because we receive revenue from such servicing activities, any such removal as the servicer or master servicer, could adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition or prospects, as would the cost of onboarding a new servicer. Furthermore, we have agreed in our servicing agreements to service loans in accordance with the standards set forth therein and may be obligated to repurchase loans or indemnify the buyer of any such loans if we fail to meet those standards.
Additionally, if one or more key third-party service providers were to cease to exist, to become a debtor in a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding or to seek relief under any debtor relief laws or to terminate its relationship with us, there could be delays in our ability to process payments and perform other operational functions for which we are currently relying on such third-party service provider, and we may not be able to promptly replace such third-party service provider with a different third-party service provider that has the ability to promptly provide the same services in the same manner and on the same economic terms. As a result of any such delay or inability to replace such key third-party service provider, our ability to process payments and perform other business functions could suffer and our business, cash flows and future prospects may be negatively impacted.
We perform and manage the loan origination process for all of the home loans that we originate. If we fail to properly perform these functions, our home loans business may be adversely affected.
In April 2023, we acquired Wyndham, a mortgage lender, expanding our home loans business. In connection with the acquisition of Wyndham, we adopted loan origination technology which facilitates performing many functions in connection with the origination of home loans, including processing, underwriting, pricing, vendor management, closing, and additional functions for loan origination that we previously outsourced to third-party providers, and we now directly manage loan underwriters and loan processors which are services previously managed by third-party providers. In the event that we fail for any reason to perform or manage such functions in accordance with all applicable requirements, including through human errors, technology errors, negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, our ability to originate home loans will suffer and our business, cash flows and future prospects may be negatively impacted, and we could incur penalties or liabilities including obligations to repurchase loans from investors to whom we sold the loans. Additionally, if we fail to perform such functions or properly manage our new resources, we may be unable to complete, or be delayed in the completion of, the origination of home loans in our pipeline and to originate new home loans, and we may not be able to onboard a replacement service provider that has the ability to promptly provide the same services in the same manner and on the same economic terms.
Potential geographic concentration of our members may increase the risk of loss on the loans that we originate and negatively impact our business.
Any concentration of our members in specific geographic areas may increase the risk of loss on our loans. Certain regions of the U.S. from time to time will experience weaker economic conditions and higher unemployment and, consequently, will experience higher rates of delinquency and loss than on similar loans in other regions of the country. Moreover, a further deterioration in economic conditions or a recession, outbreaks of disease, the continued increase in extreme weather conditions and other natural events (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, drought, wildfires, mudslides, earthquakes and other extreme conditions) and other factors could adversely affect the ability and willingness of borrowers in affected regions to meet their payment obligations under their loans and may consequently affect the delinquency and loss experience of such loans. In addition, we, as master servicer for all student loans and home loans and as servicer of our personal loans, have offered in the past, and may in the future offer, hardship forbearance or other relief programs in certain circumstances to affected borrowers.
Conversely, an improvement in economic conditions in one or more of the geographic areas in which we have members could result in higher prepayments of their payment obligations under their loans in such states. As a result, we and the whole loan purchasers and Loan Platform Business counterparties who hold our loans or securitization investors or warehouse lenders who hold securities backed by our loans may receive principal payments earlier than anticipated, and fewer
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
interest payments than anticipated, and face certain reinvestment risks, such as the inability to acquire loans on equally attractive terms as the prepaid loans. In addition, higher prepayments than anticipated may have a negative impact on our servicing revenue which could cause our operating results and financial condition to be materially and adversely affected.
Further, the concentration of our loans in one or more geographic locations may have a disproportionate effect on us or investors in our loans or securities backed by our loans if governmental authorities in any of those areas take action against us as originator, master servicer or servicer of those loans or take action affecting our ability as master servicer or servicer to service those loans.
Funding and Liquidity Risks If we are unable to successfully manage our assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and our funding costs, including with respect to deposit-based funding, our ability to finance additional loans and introduce new products may be negatively impacted.
We fund our operations and capital expenditures primarily through SoFi Bank deposits, warehouse funding, common equity capital, convertible debt, a corporate revolving credit facility, securitizations, and other financings, including Loan Platform Business transactions. Through SoFi Bank, we utilize deposits which generally has a lower borrowing cost of funds than warehouse financing, and we have the ability to access other funding sources, such as the FHLB and certain brokered deposit channels established by SoFi Bank. Because we rely on each of these outlets for liquidity, if we are unable to successfully manage our assets and liabilities and funding costs as described above, or if we experience a loss or reduction of these liquidity outlets, our business could be materially adversely impacted. For example, certain banks have faced operational difficulties in accessing the Federal Reserve discount window and there is no guarantee that we will not face the same or similar issues. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully access the securitization markets at any given time, and in the event of a sudden or unexpected shortage of funds in the banking and financial system, we cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain necessary levels of funding without incurring high funding costs, a reduction in the term of funding instruments, an increase in the amount of equity we are required to hold or the liquidation of certain assets. Furthermore, there is a risk that there will be no market at all for our loans either from whole loan buyers, the Loan Platform Business or through investments in securities backed by our loans.
We may require capital in excess of amounts we currently anticipate, and depending on market conditions and other factors, we may not be able to maintain our capital or obtain additional capital for our current operations or anticipated future growth on reasonable terms or at all. As the volume of loans that we originate, and the increased suite of products that we make available to members, increases, we may be required to expand the size of our debt warehousing facilities or seek additional sources of capital. The availability of these financing sources depends on many factors, certain of which are outside of our control. We may also experience the occurrence of events of default or breaches of financial performance or other covenants under our whole loan sale, Loan Platform Business or debt agreements, which could reduce or terminate our access to those buyers and to institutional funding.
As we think about managing our assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and our funding costs, our deposit growth may slow. If we are unable to satisfactorily manage our current sources of funding, including deposits, or, if needed, secure new or alternative methods of financing, our ability to finance additional loans and to develop and offer new products may be negatively impacted. If deposit growth slows, we may need to turn to higher cost of funds. The interest rates, advance rates and other costs of new, renewed or amended facilities may also be higher than those currently in effect. If we are unable to renew or otherwise replace these facilities or generally arrange new or alternative methods of financing on favorable terms, we may be forced to curtail our origination of loans or reduce lending or other operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
If one or more of our warehouse facilities, on which we are highly dependent, is terminated or otherwise becomes unavailable, we may be unable to find replacement financing on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
We require a significant amount of short-term funding capacity for loans we originate. Consistent with industry practice, our existing warehouse facilities generally require periodic renewal. If any of our committed warehouse facilities are terminated or are not renewed or our uncommitted facilities are not honored, we may be unable to find replacement financing on favorable terms, or at all, and we might not be able to originate an acceptable or sustainable volume of loans, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Additionally, as our business continues to expand, including our home loan business, we may need additional warehouse funding capacity for the loans we originate. There can be no assurance that, in the future, we will be able to obtain additional warehouse funding capacity on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
If we fail to meet or satisfy any of the financial or other covenants included in our warehouse facilities, we would be in default under one or more of these facilities and our lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the facilities to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests against loans pledged under such facilities and restrict our ability to make additional borrowings. Certain of these facilities also contain cross-default provisions. These restrictions may interfere with our ability to obtain financing or to engage in other business activities, which could materially and adversely affect us. There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with all financial and other covenants included in our warehouse facilities in the future.
In addition, our agreements with our warehouse lenders contain various concentration limits and triggers, including related to excess spread. High interest rates have in the past and may in the future place pressure on our net cost of funds for loans held at SoFi Lending Corp., which do not benefit from deposit funding through SoFi Bank, and increase the likelihood of reaching an excess spread limit. A breach of such limits or other similar terms of such agreements could result in an inability to place loans in the relevant warehouse facilities and require us to pursue other forms of financing. If we are unable to find replacement financing on favorable terms, or at all, our operations could be impacted materially.
Increases in member default rates on loans could make us and our loans less attractive to whole loan buyers, Loan Platform Business counterparties, lenders under debt warehouse facilities and investors in securitizations, which may adversely affect our access to financing and our business.
Increases in member default rates, due to deteriorating economic conditions or other factors, could make us and our loans less attractive to our existing or prospective funding sources, including whole loan buyers, Loan Platform Business counterparties, securitization investors and lenders under debt warehousing facilities. If our existing funding sources do not achieve their desired financial returns or if they suffer losses, they or prospective funding sources may increase the cost of providing future financing or refuse to provide future financing or purchase loans on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Our securitizations are nonrecourse to the Company and are collateralized by the pool of our loans pledged to the relevant securitization issuer. If the loans securing our securitizations fail to perform as expected, rating agencies have in the past and may in the future place our bonds on watch or change their ratings on (or their ratings methodology for) the bonds issued by our securitization trusts. Our loans performance and any actions taken by the rating agencies could result in the lenders under our warehouse facilities, the whole loan purchasers who purchase our loans, the investors in our securitizations who purchase securities backed by our loans, or future lenders, whole loan purchasers, Loan Platform Business counterparties or securitization investors in similar arrangements, increasing the cost of providing future financing or refusing to provide future financing or purchase loans on terms acceptable to us or at all.
While this risk may be partially mitigated by our ability to hold loans on our balance sheet and to quickly modify the origination volume under the Loan Platform Business, in sufficient volume, high member default rates would negatively impact our financial condition. Consequently, if we were to be unable to arrange new or alternative methods of financing on favorable terms, we may have to curtail or cease our origination of loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We make representations and warranties in connection with the transfer of loans to whole loan purchasers, Loan Platform Business counterparties, government-sponsored enterprises, and our debt warehouse lenders and securitization trusts. If such representations and warranties are not correct, we could be required to repurchase loans or indemnify the purchaser, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to operate and fund our business.
We sell and finance the loans we originate to and with third parties, including, with respect to home loans, counterparties like GSEs, and we make certain representations and warranties to those third parties in connection with the transfer of loans described below. In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to liability under these representations and warranties made to purchasers of loans. Such representations and warranties typically include, among other things, that the loans were originated and serviced in compliance with the law and with our credit risk origination policy and servicing guidelines, and, in connection with transfers to GSEs, that the loans were originated in compliance with the guidelines of the relevant GSE, and that, to the best of our knowledge, each loan was originated by us without any fraud or misrepresentation on our part or on the part of the borrower or any other person. In addition, purchasers require loans to meet strict underwriting and loan term criteria in order to be eligible for purchase. If those representations and warranties are breached as to a given loan, or if a certain loan we sell does not meet the relevant eligibility criteria, we will be obligated to repurchase the loan, typically at a purchase price equal to the then-outstanding principal balance of such loan, plus accrued interest and any premium. We may also be required to indemnify the purchaser for losses resulting from the breach of representations and warranties. With regard to home loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the VA, and to the extent that any of our home loans do not comply with Federal Housing Administration or VA guidelines, we could also face claims under the False Claims Act. In connection with our whole loan sales and certain Loan Platform Business sales, we also typically covenant to repurchase any
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
loan that enters delinquent status within the first thirty to sixty days following origination of the loan. Any significant increase in our obligation to repurchase loans or indemnify purchasers of loans could have a significant adverse impact on our cash flows, even if they are reimbursable, and could also have a detrimental effect on our business and financial condition. If any such repurchase event occurs on a large scale, we may not have sufficient funds to meet our repurchase obligations, which would result in a default under the underlying agreements. Moreover, we may not be able to resell or refinance loans repurchased due to a breach of a representation or warranty or we may be forced to sell such loans below par. Any such event could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. In addition, in the acquisition of Wyndham, we also acquired Wyndham's liability to its loan investors and loan insurers for mortgage loans originated by Wyndham, including repurchase obligations that might not be contingent upon the investor proving an error by Wyndham.
In addition to loan level representations and warranties, our agreements with the lenders and investors on our securitizations, debt warehouse facilities and corporate revolving debt contain a number of corporate financial covenants and early payment triggers and performance covenants. These facilities, together with deposits, are the primary funding sources available to support the maintenance and growth of our business and our liquidity would be materially adversely affected by our inability to comply with the various covenants and other specified requirements set forth in our agreements with our lenders and investors, which could result in the early amortization, default and/or acceleration of our existing facilities. Such covenants and requirements include financial covenants, portfolio performance covenants and other events. For a description of these covenants, requirements and events, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources”.
During an early amortization period or occurrence of a termination event or an event of default, principal collections from the loans in our warehouse facilities would be applied to repay principal under such facilities rather than being available to fund newly originated loans. During the occurrence of a termination event or an event of default under any of our facilities, the applicable lenders could accelerate the related debt and such lenders’ commitments to extend further credit under the related facility, if any, would terminate. If we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under such facilities and securitizations, the applicable lenders and noteholders could seek remedies, including against the collateral pledged under such facilities and by the securitization trust. An acceleration of the debt under certain facilities could also lead to a default under other facilities and, in certain instances, our hedging arrangements, due to cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions.
An early amortization event or event of default would negatively impact our liquidity, including our ability to originate new loans, and require us to rely on alternative funding sources, which might increase our funding costs or which might not be available when needed. If we were unable to arrange new or alternative methods of financing on favorable terms, we might have to hold loans on balance sheet in an amount that may negatively impact our financial condition, or curtail or cease the origination of loans, which could impair our growth, and, in each case, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations under our facilities.
We require substantial capital and, in the future, may require additional capital, to pursue our business objectives and achieve recurring profitability. If adequate capital is not available to us or is unavailable on favorable terms, including due to the cost and availability of funding in the capital markets, our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.
Since our founding and as recently as 2025, we have raised substantial equity and debt financing to support the growth of our business. We may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and growth strategy and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, including supporting our lending operations, increasing our marketing expenditures to attract new members and technology platform clients and improve our brand awareness, developing our products, introducing new services, further expanding internationally in existing or new countries or further improving existing offerings and services, enhancing our operating infrastructure and potentially acquiring complementary businesses and technologies, and complying with the increased regulatory requirements for bank holding companies and banks. Accordingly, on a regular basis we need, or we may need, to engage in additional debt or equity financings to secure additional funds. However, additional funds may not be available when we need them, in amounts we need, or permitted to be applied to specific use cases, on terms that are acceptable to us or at all. Volatility in the credit markets in general or in the market for personal, student and home loans and credit cards in particular may also have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain debt financing. Although our borrowing costs have trended lower following the acquisition of a national bank charter, the cost of our borrowing could increase due to market volatility, interest rates that, while decreasing, remain higher than those in the recent past, changes in the risk premiums required by lenders or the unavailability of traditional sources of debt capital. Volatility or depressed valuations or trading prices in the equity markets may similarly adversely affect our ability to obtain equity financing. Furthermore, if we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing

stockholders could suffer significant dilution and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock.
We are required to serve as a source of financial strength for SoFi Bank, which is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by federal regulators, which means that we may be required to provide capital or liquidity support to SoFi Bank, even at times when we may not have the resources to provide such support. In addition, maintaining adequate liquidity is crucial to our securities brokerage, including key functions such as transaction settlement, custody requirements and margin lending. Our broker-dealer subsidiary, SoFi Securities, is subject to Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act, which specifies minimum capital requirements intended to ensure the general financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers, and SoFi Securities is subject to Rule 15c3-3 under the Exchange Act, which requires broker-dealers to maintain certain liquidity reserves. We meet our liquidity needs primarily from working capital, deposits and cash generated by member activity, as well as from external debt and equity financing. Increases in the number of members, fluctuations in member cash or deposit balances, as well as market conditions or changes in regulatory treatment of member deposits, may affect our ability to meet our liquidity needs.
A reduction in our liquidity position could reduce our members’ confidence in us, which could result in the withdrawal of member assets, including deposits held at SoFi Bank, and loss of members, or could cause us to fail to satisfy minimum capital requirements for SoFi Bank, or broker-dealer or other regulatory capital guidelines, which may result in immediate suspension of banking and other securities activities, regulatory prohibitions against certain business practices, increased regulatory inquiries and reporting requirements, increased costs, fines, penalties or other sanctions, by the Federal Reserve, the OCC, the SEC, FINRA or other SROs or state regulators, and could ultimately lead to the liquidation of SoFi Bank or our broker-dealer or other regulated entities. Factors which may adversely affect our liquidity position include temporary liquidity demands due to timing differences between brokerage transaction settlements and the availability of segregated cash balances, fluctuations in cash held in member accounts, a significant increase in our margin lending activities, increased regulatory capital requirements, changes in regulatory guidance or interpretations, or Federal Housing Administration or VA guidelines, other regulatory changes or a loss of market or member confidence resulting in unanticipated withdrawals of member assets. We expect that we will continue to use our available cash to fund our lending activities and help scale our Financial Services segment. To supplement our cash resources, we may seek to enter into additional securitizations and whole loan sale agreements and Loan Platform Business origination and sale agreements or increase the size of existing debt warehousing facilities, increase the size of, or replace, our revolving credit facility, continue to grow deposits and pursue other potential options. In addition, a reduction in our liquidity position could impair our technology platform clients’ confidence in us and our platform as a service products and services, many of which require capital investments and ongoing platform maintenance by us, which could result in decisions by our technology platform clients to terminate or not renew their existing contracts or to not add new products to their account.
If we are unable to adequately maintain our cash resources, we may delay non-essential capital expenditures, implement cost cutting procedures, delay or reduce future hiring, discontinue the pursuit of our strategic objectives and growth strategies or reduce our rate of future originations compared to the current level. There can be no assurance that we can obtain sufficient sources of external capital to support the growth of our business. Delays in doing so or failure to do so may require us to reduce loan originations or reduce our operations, which would harm our ability to pursue our business objectives as well as harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
We are unable to finance all of the receivables that we originate or other assets that we hold, and that illiquidity could result in a negative impact on our financial condition.
We have the option of pursuing a gain-on-sale origination model, the success of which is tied to our ability to finance the assets that we originate. Certain of our assets, however, are ineligible for sale to a whole loan buyer, Loan Platform Business counterparty or securitization trust, or are ineligible for, or are subject to a lower advance rate under, warehouse funding, each of which has specific eligibility criteria for receivables it purchases or holds as collateral. Ineligible receivables include, among others, those in default or that are delinquent, receivables with defects in their origination or servicing, including fraud, or receivables generated under origination guidelines and credit policies that are no longer in effect. In addition, many of our warehouse funding sources and certain of our Loan Platform Business arrangements contain excess concentration limits for loans in forbearance or with specific loan level characteristics such as time-to-maturity or loan type. Once these limits have been exceeded, the advance rate applied to those receivables becomes less advantageous to us or, under such Loan Platform Business arrangements, we are prohibited from selling such loans to the relevant counterparty. If we are unable to sell or reasonably fund these receivables, we are required to hold them on our consolidated balance sheet which, in sufficient volume, negatively impacts our financial condition.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
In addition to the receivables described above, we also hold on our consolidated balance sheet certain risk retention assets with respect to which we have a reduced ability to receive financing. These risk retention assets include residuals from our securitization trusts that are either ineligible for transfer or are subject to EU regulations. The illiquidity of these positions may negatively impact our financial condition.
Our checking and savings product is expected to continue to provide us with an important source of cost-efficient funding and any failure to scale the product due to our limited experience or a competitive marketplace could have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We expect that checking and savings, a deposit account product, will continue to provide us with an important source of deposits to use for cost-effective funding of loan originations and other activities. However, revenue growth for checking and savings is dependent on increasing the volume of members who open an account and on growing balances in those accounts. Although our checking and savings account product has grown since its introduction in the first quarter of 2022, there is no guarantee that account openings and the amount on deposit in those accounts will continue to grow. In addition, although we have invested in a number of initiatives to attract new checking and savings account holders and capture a greater share of our members’ savings, including offering a competitive annual percentage yield on deposits and offering SoFi Plus membership benefits to certain deposit holders, there can be no assurance that these investments to acquire and retain members, provide differentiated features and services and spur usage of our deposit account product will be effective or cost effective. There are also no assurances that we will be able to maintain a competitive annual percentage yield on deposits, and members can easily transfer checking and savings account balances to our competitors. Further, developing our service offerings and marketing the checking and savings product in additional customer acquisition channels could have higher costs than anticipated or be less effective than anticipated, and could adversely impact our results or dilute our brand. Finally, our checking and savings product faces competition from similar products offered by our competitors which may offer more attractive features, including a higher interest rate on deposits, which may impact the success of the product. In the event we are unable to sufficiently grow the checking and savings product, we may be required to find alternative, higher-cost funding for our lending and other activities, or we might not be able to originate an acceptable or sustainable volume of loans, either of which could have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. See “Market and Interest Rate Risks — Fluctuations in interest rates could negatively affect the demand for our checking and savings product”.
Any failure to accurately capture credit risk or to execute our funding strategy for SoFi Credit Card could have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
In October 2024, we expanded our credit card program by launching two new credit cards: SoFi Everyday Cash Rewards and SoFi Essential, and in December 2025, we launched the SoFi Smart Card, a charge card secured by the member’s SoFi Checking and Savings Account. The performance of these new credit cards and the existing SoFi Unlimited 2% Credit Card product is significantly dependent on the ability of the credit and fraud decisioning and scoring models we use to originate the product, which includes a variety of factors, to effectively prevent fraud, evaluate an applicant’s credit profile and likelihood of default. Despite establishing a defined risk appetite and leveraging third-party stress testing of product loss forecasts, there is no assurance that our credit criteria can accurately predict repayment and loss profiles. If our criteria do not accurately prevent fraud or reflect credit risk on the SoFi Credit Card products, greater than expected losses may result and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
The success of the SoFi Credit Card program is also dependent on our ability to grow revenue which is, in turn, dependent on increasing the volume of members who open an account and on growing loan balances on those accounts. Over time we will continue to invest in a number of new product initiatives to attract new SoFi Credit Card members and capture a greater share of our members’ total spending and borrowings, including through rewards programs. However, the operation of our rewards program for certain of the SoFi Credit Card products could have a negative impact on the revenue for our Credit Card program. In addition, revenue growth for SoFi Credit Card may also be adversely affected by proposed restrictions on credit card interest. On January 9, 2026, President Trump announced his intent to fulfill a campaign promise to cap credit card interest at 10.00% for one year, to be effective on January 20, 2026, though no formal executive order or proposed rule was issued at that time. Although the proposed cap on credit card interest may provide opportunities in other segments of our business, if enforced, it would likely adversely impact the SoFi Credit Card program. The proposal currently faces an unclear enforcement path and significant industry opposition, with many questioning whether it would actually reduce credit availability for consumers.
While we have generally seen increases in revenue from SoFi Credit Card, there can be no assurance that our investments in SoFi Credit Card to acquire members, provide differentiated features and services and spur usage of our cards will continue to be effective, and developing our service offerings and forming new partnerships could have higher costs than anticipated, and could adversely impact our results or dilute our brand.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Furthermore, the success of the SoFi Credit Card products depends on our ability to execute on our funding strategy for the resulting credit card receivables. We may establish a credit card receivable securitization program in the future. There is no guarantee, however, that we will be successful in establishing a securitization program for these assets. In the event we are unable to finance our credit card receivables, we may be required to hold those assets on our consolidated balance sheet or sell them for a loss, either of which could have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Regulatory, Tax and Other Legal Risks As a bank holding company, we are subject to extensive supervision and regulation, and changes in laws and regulations applicable to bank holding companies could limit or restrict our activities and could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve, and SoFi Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the OCC and the FDIC, as well as regulations issued by the CFPB. Federal laws and regulations govern numerous matters affecting us, including changes in the ownership or control of banks and bank holding companies, maintenance of adequate capital and the financial condition of a financial institution, permissible types, amounts and terms of extensions of credit and investments, permissible nonbanking activities, the level of reserves against deposits and restrictions on dividend payments. The OCC possesses the power to issue cease and desist orders to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law by banks subject to their regulation, and the Federal Reserve possesses similar powers with respect to bank holding companies. In general, the bank supervisory framework is intended to protect insured depositors and the safety, soundness and stability of the U.S. financial system and not shareholders in depository institutions or their holding companies.
In connection with applying for approval to become a bank holding company, we developed a financial and bank capitalization plan and enhanced our governance, compliance, controls and management infrastructure and capabilities in order to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations, which required, and will continue to require, substantial time, monetary and human resource commitments. If any new regulations or interpretations of existing regulations to which we are subject impose requirements on us that are impractical or that we cannot satisfy, our financial performance, and our stock price, may be adversely affected.
Federal regulations establish minimum capital requirements for insured depository institutions, including minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios, and define “capital” for calculating these ratios. The minimum capital requirements are: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 6%; (iii) a total capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The regulations also establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital. An institution will be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the capital conservation buffer amount. The federal banking regulators could also require the Company and/or SoFi Bank, as applicable, to hold capital that exceeds minimum capital requirements for insured depository institutions. The application of these capital requirements could, among other things, require us to maintain higher capital resulting in lower returns on equity, and we may be required to obtain additional capital, or face regulatory actions if we are unable, to comply with such requirements.
We are also subject to the requirements in Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve’s implementing Regulation W, which regulate loans, extensions of credit, purchases of assets, and certain other transactions between an insured depository institution (such as SoFi Bank) and its affiliates. The statute and regulation require us to impose certain quantitative limits, collateral requirements and other restrictions on “covered transactions” between SoFi Bank and its affiliates and require all transactions be on “market terms” and conditions consistent with safe and sound banking practices. For example, Galileo’s provision of technology services to SoFi Bank is subject to Regulation W, including the requirement that the arrangement is on market terms. If we fail to comply with the requirements of Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W for any reason, we may be subject to significant penalties, including substantial civil fines, mandatory consent orders, restrictions on SoFi Bank’s activities and, potentially, be required to divest subsidiaries.
The laws, rules, regulations, and supervisory guidance and policies applicable to us are subject to regular modification and change, including increased regulation as a result of the turmoil in the banking industry. These changes could adversely and materially impact us. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act and other federal banking laws subject companies with $10 billion or more of consolidated assets to additional regulatory requirements. Section 1075 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which is commonly known as the “Durbin Amendment”, amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to restrict the amount of interchange fees that may be charged and prohibit network exclusivity for debit card transactions. SoFi Bank is required to comply with the restrictions on interchange fees that went into effect on July 1, 2023, which may negatively impact future interchange fees we
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
collect. In addition, in November 2023, the Federal Reserve proposed changes to the regulations implementing the Electronic Fund Transfer Act that would further restrict the amount of interchange fees that may be charged and require biennial reviews of those fees.
Furthermore, guidance from regulators of the Company and SoFi Bank can subject its non-bank affiliates to increased governance. For example, the OCC’s guidance on retail non-deposit investment products, or RNDIPs, applies to referral arrangements that SoFi Bank may have with an affiliate, including SoFi Securities. This guidance, which was further updated in June 2024 to align with the SEC’s Regulation BI, requires that banks implement and maintain effective oversight and monitoring of relevant RNDIP arrangements to ensure that, among other things, sales transactions and recommendations to retail investors comply with SEC regulations. In addition, our platform as a service activities engaged in through our Technology Platform, are subject to increased regulatory governance by the Federal Reserve, including related to anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance obligations, because Galileo and Technisys are non-bank subsidiaries of a bank holding company. Changes in laws, rules, regulations and supervisory guidance and policies could, among other things, subject us to additional costs, including costs of compliance; limit the types of financial services and products we may offer; and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products. Failure to comply with laws, regulations, policies, or supervisory guidance could result in enforcement and other legal actions by federal and state authorities, including criminal and civil penalties, the loss of FDIC insurance, revocation of a banking charter or registration as a broker-dealer and investment adviser, other sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties, and/or reputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Finally, we have recently introduced and intend to continue to explore other products for SoFi Bank over time, including digital assets and blockchain products, and expect to expand SoFi Bank’s product offering internationally. Certain of those products and international activities may require, or be deemed to require, additional data, procedures, partnerships, regulatory approvals, or capabilities that we have not yet obtained or developed. Should we fail to expand and evolve SoFi Bank products and activities in a successful manner, or should these new products, or new regulations or interpretations of existing regulations, impose requirements on us that are cumbersome or that we cannot satisfy, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
The U.S. Congress, the U.S. Presidential administration, or any new administration may make substantial changes to fiscal, tax, and other federal policies that may adversely affect our business.
The current U.S. Presidential administration has made and continues to call for significant changes to U.S. trade, healthcare, immigration and government regulatory policy and has implemented policy changes at a rapid pace. Changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the current U.S. Presidential administration or any new administration have impacted among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation, defense and other areas. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business. Until we know what policy changes are made, whether those policy changes are challenged and subsequently upheld by the court system and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors over the long term, we will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or commitments, or to satisfy our regulators’ supervisory expectations, could subject us to, among other things, supervisory or enforcement action, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we do not comply with applicable laws, regulations or commitments, if we are deemed to have engaged in unsafe or unsound conduct, or if we do not satisfy our regulators’ supervisory expectations, then we may be subject to increased scrutiny, supervisory criticism, governmental or private litigation and/or a wide range of potential monetary penalties or consequences, enforcement actions, criminal liability and/or reputational harm. Such actions could be public or of a confidential nature, and arise even if we are acting in good faith or operating under a reasonable interpretation of the law and could include, for example, monetary penalties, payment of damages or other monetary relief, restitution or disgorgement of profits, directives to take remedial action or to cease or modify practices, restrictions on growth or expansionary proposals, denial or refusal to accept applications, removal of officers or directors, prohibition on dividends or capital distributions, increases in capital or liquidity requirements and/or termination of SoFi Bank’s deposit insurance. Additionally, compliance with applicable laws, regulations and commitments requires significant investment of management attention and resources. Any failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or commitments could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

An inability to accept or maintain deposits due to regulatory constraints could materially adversely affect our liquidity position and our ability to fund our business.
SoFi Bank accepts deposits and uses the proceeds as a source of funding, with our direct retail deposits becoming a larger proportion of our funding over time. Our deposit product has several features designed to attract consumers, including competitive interest rates, the availability of the SoFi Insured Deposit Program, whereby funds (up to $3 million) are deposited into deposit accounts at banks which are insured by the FDIC up to the applicable limits, and SoFi Plus rewards opportunities. Despite these features, we continue to face strong competition with regard to deposits, and our ability to accept and maintain deposit funding and offer competitive interest rates on deposits is dependent on, among other things, SoFi Bank’s capital levels. The FDIA’s brokered deposit provisions and related FDIC rules in certain circumstances prohibit banks from accepting or renewing brokered deposits and apply other restrictions, such as a cap on interest rates that can be paid. For example, while SoFi Bank met the definition of “well-capitalized” as of December 31, 2025 and currently has no restrictions regarding acceptance of brokered deposits or setting of interest rates, there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet this definition. Additionally, our regulators can adjust applicable capital requirements at any time and have authority to place limitations on our deposit business. An inability to attract or maintain deposits in the future due to regulatory constraints could materially adversely affect our ability to fund our business.
Legislative and regulatory policies and related actions have had and could in the future have a material adverse effect on borrower behavior, our student loan portfolios and our student loan origination volume.
Recent and evolving changes to federal student loan laws, regulations, and Department of Education policies—including material changes adopted in 2025 and scheduled to take effect in 2026—could adversely affect our student loan-related businesses (including origination, refinancing, servicing, collections, and ancillary products) by changing borrower repayment behavior, demand for refinanced student loan and other student loan credit products, and broader economic trends, and could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations. In particular, recent developments include (i) significant legislative changes enacted in 2025 that are expected to restructure aspects of federal borrowing and repayment beginning July 1, 2026, including the introduction of a new income-driven repayment option (commonly described as a “Repayment Assistance Plan”), changes to borrowing limits and program design, and the elimination of the GRAD Plus program, (ii) continued policy and litigation-driven disruption associated with the Biden administration SAVE repayment plan, including Department of Education actions tied to court injunctions and subsequent program transitions, and (iii) changes to federal default and involuntary collection practices, including a recently announced pause on wage garnishment and tax refund offsets for certain borrowers in default while the Department of Education implements repayment system changes. The Department of Education has also finalized additional program regulations with effective dates in 2026 (including regulations affecting Public Service Loan Forgiveness).
These developments—and any further changes adopted by Congress, the Department of Education, the CFPB, or the courts—may increase uncertainty and volatility in borrower behavior and the economics of both federal and private student loan products. For example, modifications to repayment options, forgiveness eligibility, and default collection policies may change borrowers’ incentives to refinance federal loans into private loans; reduce demand for our products; increase prepayment or extension risk; and shift delinquency, default, and cure patterns in ways that are difficult to predict. Similarly, although it may appear that the elimination of the GRAD Plus federal loan program will increase demand for our private student loan product, there is no guarantee that this will occur. In addition, program changes may increase operational complexity (including system updates, borrower communications, and training), elevate complaint volume and regulatory scrutiny, and heighten litigation and enforcement risk—particularly if borrowers experience payment shocks, confusion regarding plan transitions, or disputes over eligibility and servicing practices. Because the scope, implementation timing, and interpretation of these changes remain uncertain—and could be further modified through additional rulemaking, sub-regulatory guidance, appropriations actions, or court decisions—we may be required to make rapid changes to products, underwriting, servicing, loss mitigation, and compliance processes, and we may incur increased costs to do so. Any failure to timely and effectively adapt, or any adverse effect on borrower performance, demand, or competitive dynamics, could materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.
Furthermore, these policy shifts may influence the overall financial well-being and creditworthiness of individuals carrying student debt. For example, the replacement of multiple income-driven repayment options with narrower alternatives, changes to forgiveness eligibility, and increased default collection activity could raise monthly payment burdens or accelerate delinquency for certain borrowers, potentially reducing consumer spending, increasing financial stress, or altering borrowing patterns. In addition, uncertainty around future student loan policy—such as ongoing litigation, shifting program eligibility criteria, or potential future reforms—may affect borrower confidence and decision-making. These conditions could lead to
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
variations in demand for consumer financial products, increased credit risk, or changes in macroeconomic consumption patterns that negatively impact our business operations, loan portfolios, liquidity, or financial results.
Finally, although repayment requirements for federal student loans have resumed since October 2023, following multiple extensions of the CARES Act’s pause on student loan repayments, which began in March 2020, and despite current uncertainty as to the future of the Department of Education itself and to prior policy proposals related to student debt relief and federal student loan programs, policymakers continue to face political pressure to reduce or cancel student loans or accrued interest at a significant scale. If this political pressure results in the revival of any student debt relief policy proposals, it could reduce demand for our student loan refinancing product and have a negative impact on our loan origination volume and revenue. If in the future, student loans were forgiven or canceled in any meaningful scale, or if federal loan borrowers were permitted to refinance at lower interest rates, our student loan refinancing business within our Lending segment would be materially and adversely affected and our profitability, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or future business prospects could be materially and adversely affected as a result. In addition, proposals to make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy or similar proposals could make whole loan purchasers less likely to purchase our student loans, securitization investors less likely to purchase securities backed by our student loans or warehouse lenders less likely to lend against our student loans at attractive advance rates. As a result of any material adverse effect to our Lending segment, our overall profitability, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or future business prospects may be adversely affected.
Although we continue to evaluate the ultimate impact of local, state and federal legislation, regulation and politics, guidance and actions, future legislative, regulatory and executive actions, and the ongoing impact of our own forbearance measures on our financial results, business operations and strategies, there is no guarantee that our estimates will be accurate or that any actions we take based on such estimates will be successful. Furthermore, we believe that the cost of responding to, and complying with, evolving laws and regulations, as well as any guidance from enforcement actions, will continue to increase, as will the risk of penalties and fines from any enforcement actions that may be imposed on our businesses. Our profitability, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or future business prospects could be materially and adversely affected as a result.
If we fail to comply with federal and state consumer protection laws, rules, regulations and guidance, our business could be adversely affected.
We must comply with federal, state and local consumer protection laws including, among others, the federal and state UDAAP laws, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the CRA, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the ECOA, the FHA, the HMDA, the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act, FCRA, state law versions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Military Lending Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the GLBA, the CARES Act and the Dodd-Frank Act. We must also comply with laws on advertising, as well as privacy laws, including the TCPA, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the CAN-SPAM Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, applicable laws and regulations of Hong Kong including the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and the Personal Data (Privacy) (Amendment) Ordinance 2012 and the CCPA and other state privacy laws. Privacy and data security concerns, data collection and transfer restrictions, contractual obligations and U.S. laws and regulations related to data privacy, security and protection could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Compliance with applicable laws is costly, and our failure to comply with applicable federal, state and local laws could lead to:
•loss of our licenses and approvals to engage in our lending and servicing businesses;
•damage to our reputation in the industry;
•governmental investigations and enforcement actions;
•administrative fines and penalties and litigation;
•civil and criminal liability, including class action lawsuits;
•inability to enforce loan agreements;
•diminished ability to sell loans that we originate or purchase, requirements to sell such loans at a discount compared to other loans or repurchase or address indemnification claims from purchasers of such loans;
•loss or restriction of warehouse facilities to fund loans;
•loss of Loan Platform Business counterparties and whole loan purchasers to purchase loans;
•inability to raise capital; and
•inability to execute on our business strategy, including our growth plans.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
For example, we rely on a variety of direct marketing techniques, including email and telephone marketing. These activities are regulated by legislation such as the CAN-SPAM Act and TCPA. Any failure by us to comply fully with the CAN-SPAM Act and/or TCPA may leave us subject to substantial fines and penalties. In addition, any future restrictions in laws such as the CAN-SPAM Act and TCPA, and various United States state laws, or new federal laws regarding marketing and solicitation or international data protection laws that govern these activities could adversely affect the continuing effectiveness of our marketing efforts and could force changes in our marketing strategies. If this occurs, we may not be able to develop adequate alternative marketing strategies, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
The CRA, to which SoFi Bank is subject, presents another useful example of how a failure to comply with applicable laws could hamper our growth. On January 1, 2023, SoFi Bank began operating under a five-year CRA strategic plan which includes measurable goals relating to: (i) CD Lending and CD Investments, (ii) CD Contributions, (iii) CD Services, (iv) Small Business Lending, and (v) Retail Services and Products. The OCC’s assessment of our compliance with the CRA is taken into account when evaluating any application we submit for, among other things, a merger or the acquisition of another financial institution. Our failure to satisfy our CRA obligations could, at a minimum, result in the denial of such applications and limit our growth.
In addition, SoFi Bank and its affiliates are subject to supervision and regulation by the CFPB, an agency which oversees compliance with and enforces federal consumer financial protection laws, with respect to federal consumer protection laws, including laws relating to fair lending and the prohibition of UDAAP in connection with the offer, sale or provision of consumer financial products and services. As part of its regulatory oversight, the CFPB may seek a range of remedies, including rescission of contracts, refund of money, return of real property, restitution, disgorgement of profits or other compensation for unjust enrichment, damages, public notification of the violation and “conduct” restrictions (i.e., future limits on the target’s activities or functions). Under the Biden administration, the CFPB pursued an aggressive enforcement policy with respect to a range of regulatory compliance matters. For example, on January 6, 2022, the CFPB announced an initiative to scrutinize so-called consumer “junk fees.” Since then, the CFPB has issued guidance to banks on how to avoid charging unlawful overdraft and depositor fees, confirmed their policy against “pay to pay” fees or charging any fees not expressly authorized and properly disclosed in a consumer agreement, issued a final rule limiting credit card penalty fees, which was stayed pending ongoing litigation, and launched an inquiry into junk fees in mortgage closing costs. The CFPB has also identified additional unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts or practices that could violate the CFPA, including certain billing and collection practices after bankruptcy discharges of certain student loan debt, taking unreasonable advantage of a consumer’s reasonable reliance on an operator or lead generator to act in the consumer’s interests, and including unclear or unenforceable terms and conditions in consumer contracts or fine print. Notably, the CFPB rescinded guidance on substantially all of these topics in May 2025. However, the positions taken in the now-rescinded guidance still represent potentially valid interpretations of existing law, which may be enforced or pursued by the CFPB or other federal or state regulators, or private plaintiffs, now or in the future. The CFPB previously focused on student borrower harms from servicing failures, program disruptions, college banking and credit card agreements, and a variety of illegal practices and has been active in litigation against student loan servicers and others, including Climb Credit and its largest shareholder 1/0, Ejudicate, Navient, Prehired, the National Collegiate Student Loan Trusts and Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, Western Benefits Group, Student Loan Pro and its owner, Judith Noh, and Performant Recovery, Inc. for CFPA and other violations. Increased enforcement or rules from the CFPB could increase our legal and financial compliance costs, require us to evaluate or amend certain activities or products in light of evolving compliance standards, make certain activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and increase demand on our systems and resources.
Furthermore, we hold lending licenses or similar authorizations in multiple states, each of which has the authority to supervise and examine our activities. As a licensed consumer lender, mortgage lender, loan broker, collection agency, and loan servicer in certain states, we are subject to examinations by state agencies in those states. Similarly, we are subject to licensure requirements and regulations as an education loan servicer in multiple states. An administrative proceeding, litigation, investigation or regulatory proceeding relating to allegations or findings of the violation of such laws by us, any sub-servicer we engage, or our collection agents, could impair our ability to service and collect on our loans or could result in requirements that we pay damages, fines or penalties and/or cancel the balance or other amounts owing under one or more of our loans. There is no assurance that allegations of violations of the provisions of applicable federal or state consumer protection laws will not be asserted against us, any sub-servicers or collection agents we engage or other prior owners of our loans in the future. To the extent it is determined that any of our loans were not originated in accordance with all applicable laws, we may be obligated to repurchase such loan from a whole loan buyer, Loan Platform Business counterparty, securitization trust or warehouse facility.
While we have developed and monitor policies and procedures designed to assist in compliance with laws and regulations, no assurance can be given that our compliance policies and procedures will be effective and that we will not be subject to fines and penalties. For example, in 2019, we were subject to a consent order from the FTC (the “FTC Consent Order”), which resolved allegations that we misrepresented how much money student loan borrowers have saved or would save
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
from financing their loans with us, in violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act. Under the FTC Consent Order, we are prohibited from misrepresenting to consumers how much money they would save by using our products, unless the claims are backed up by reliable evidence. Ambiguities in applicable statutes and regulations may leave uncertainty with respect to permitted or restricted conduct and may make compliance with laws, and risk assessment decisions with respect to compliance with laws, difficult and uncertain. In addition, ambiguities make it difficult, in certain circumstances, to determine if, and how compliance violations may be cured. We have in the past and may in the future fail to comply with applicable statutes and regulations even if acting in good faith, or because governmental bodies or courts interpret existing laws or regulations in a more restrictive manner, which have in the past and may in the future lead to regulatory investigations, governmental enforcement actions or private causes of action with respect to our compliance. To resolve issues raised in examinations or other governmental actions, we may be required to take various corrective actions, including changing certain business practices, making refunds or taking other actions that could be financially or competitively detrimental to us. In certain cases, regardless of fault, it may be less time-consuming or costly to settle these matters, which may require us to implement certain changes to our business practices, provide remediation to certain individuals or make a settlement payment to a given party or regulatory body. There is no assurance that any future settlements will not have a material adverse effect on our business.
We hold state licenses that result in substantial compliance costs, and our business would be adversely affected if our licenses are impaired as a result of noncompliance with those requirements.
We currently hold state licenses in connection with our lending activities, student loan servicing activities, and securities business. Although we have transitioned our lending products to SoFi Bank, for as long as SoFi Lending Corp. brokers, purchases or master services or services loans, we must comply with certain state licensing requirements and varying compliance requirements. Changes in licensing laws may result in increased disclosure requirements, increased fees, or may impose other conditions to licensing that we or our personnel are unable to meet. In most states in which we operate, a regulatory agency or agencies regulate and enforce laws relating to loan servicers, brokers, and originators, and collection agencies. We are subject to periodic examinations by state and other regulators in the jurisdictions in which we conduct business, which can result in increases in our administrative costs and refunds to borrowers of certain fees earned by us, and we may be required to pay substantial penalties imposed by those regulators due to compliance errors, or we may lose our license or our ability to do business in the jurisdiction otherwise may be impaired. Fines and penalties incurred in one jurisdiction may cause investigations or other actions by regulators in other jurisdictions.
We may not be able to obtain or maintain all currently required licenses and permits. If we change or expand our business activities, we may be required to obtain additional licenses before we can engage in those activities. If we apply for a new license, a regulator may determine that we were required to do so at an earlier point in time, and as a result, may impose penalties or refuse to issue the license, which could require us to modify or limit our activities in the relevant state. For example, we have been fined in the past by state regulators for engaging in financial services related activities prior to obtaining a license. Based on changes to our businesses, we may also forfeit certain of our licenses that are no longer required. Regulators may impose conditions, requirements or penalties in connection with the forfeiture of any of our licenses.
States may also expand or otherwise modify their current regulations and if such states so act, we may not be able to comply with such updated regulations or maintain all requisite licenses and permits in such states or our costs of compliance with and maintenance of such licenses or permits may materially increase. For example, California, Colorado and Maine have implemented additional regulations related to student loan servicers which impose additional registration, reporting and disclosure requirements and which, if applicable to us, may increase our costs of servicing loans in those states.
In addition, the states that currently do not provide extensive regulation of our business may later choose to do so, and if such states so act, we may not be able to obtain or maintain all requisite licenses and permits, which could require us to modify or limit our activities in the relevant state or states. The failure to satisfy those and other regulatory requirements could result in a default under our warehouse facilities, other financial arrangements and/or servicing agreements and thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our compliance and risk management policies and procedures as a bank, bank holding company and otherwise regulated financial services company may not be fully effective in identifying or mitigating compliance and risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk.
As a bank, a bank holding company and a financial services company operating in the banking and securities industry, among others, our business exposes us to a number of heightened risks. We have devoted significant resources to developing our compliance and risk management policies and procedures and will continue to do so, but there can be no assurance these are sufficient, especially as our business is rapidly growing and evolving. Nonetheless, our limited operating history in many of the products we offer, our evolving business and our rapid growth make it difficult to predict all of the risks and challenges we may encounter and may increase the risk that our policies and procedures that serve to identify, monitor and manage compliance
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

risks may not be fully effective in mitigating our exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk. Further, certain controls are manual and are subject to inherent limitations and errors in oversight. This could cause our compliance and other risk management strategies to be ineffective. Other compliance and risk management methods depend upon the evaluation of information regarding markets, customers, catastrophic occurrences or other matters that are publicly available or otherwise accessible to us, which may not always be accurate, complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated. Insurance and other traditional risk-shifting tools may be held by or available to us in order to manage certain exposures, but they are subject to terms such as deductibles, coinsurance, limits and policy exclusions, as well as risk of counterparty denial of coverage, default or insolvency. Any failure to maintain effective compliance and other risk management strategies could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are also exposed to heightened regulatory risk because our business is subject to extensive regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, and such regulations are subject to evolving interpretations and application and it can be difficult to predict how they may be applied to our business, particularly as we introduce new products and services and expand into new jurisdictions. For example, the regulatory landscape involving digital assets is constantly evolving and we recently relaunched our digital assets offering.
Also, due to market volatility, it is difficult to predict how much capital we will need in the future to meet net capital requirements. Any perceived or actual breach of laws and regulations could negatively impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. It is possible that these laws and regulations could be interpreted or applied in a manner that would prohibit, alter or impair our existing or planned products and services.
Regulatory scrutiny of banking as a service, or BaaS, solutions has increased and may require us to devote significant resources to enhancing our Technology Platform policies, procedures, operations, controls and products, and the failure to satisfy such increased scrutiny may cause regulators to take action against us or our BaaS partners, or result in a loss of one or more of our BaaS partners.
Our Technology Platform facilitates the provision of BaaS products and services to third parties through various card, deposit, payment, transfer, credit and lending solutions that allow financial technology companies or other third parties to, among other things, connect to sponsor banks’ systems directly via application programming interfaces and cloud infrastructure so they can build banking offerings on top of the sponsor banks’ regulated infrastructure. In addition, our Technology Platform offers an end-to-end core banking platform solution with integrated payment processing. Furthermore, in connection with our Technology Platform's BaaS solutions, we sometimes offer certain program management, data, analytics, compliance and risk management functions, including managing anti-money laundering and fraud risks. The third parties that use these BaaS solutions include a variety of financial entities, including banks, fintech companies and other financial intermediaries. SoFi Bank is one of the sponsor banks that utilizes our BaaS products and services and may continue to do so in the future.
Federal bank regulators have increasingly focused on the risks related to BaaS solutions, including risk management, oversight, internal controls, information security, change management and information technology operational resilience, as well as potential systemic risk posed by BaaS solutions to the larger banking industry. Recently, regulators have even brought enforcement actions against financial entities that have allegedly not adequately addressed these concerns while growing their BaaS offerings. Regulators have specifically required these financial entities to enhance oversight of third-party fintech partnerships, improve control frameworks related to anti-money laundering and BSA compliance, and adopt, implement and adhere to revised and expanded risk-based policies, procedures and processes. If we or any of the fintech clients or sponsor bank partners supported by our Technology Platform were to face regulatory actions that limit the growth of our or their fintech business, or if we were forced to stop growing our Technology Platform, or if any of our fintech clients or sponsor banks were to limit or cease their participation in BaaS solutions, this could have a negative impact on our revenue and results of operation for the Technology Platform segment.
Furthermore, regulatory scrutiny of BaaS solutions extends directly to middleware providers, such as our Technology Platform, which, in certain circumstances, bear accountability for their partners’ compliance and risk management, including with respect to penalties, fines, and other measures that bank regulatory agencies take in the event of non-compliant activity or risks that are not well controlled. This is particularly true when the BaaS solution includes program management, and compliance and risk management controls, including managing anti-money laundering and fraud risks. In addition, as our fintech and sponsor bank partners face increased regulatory scrutiny, their scrutiny of our services will likely increase and our inability to satisfactorily respond to partner demands could result in those partners moving to different solutions. Assessing and managing risk for our Technology Platform clients in the face of regulatory and client scrutiny has in the past and will continue to require us to devote significant resources to enhancing relevant policies, procedures, operations and products. Finally, as a subsidiary of a bank holding company, any failure of our Technology Platform's BaaS solutions to withstand regulatory scrutiny could reflect badly on our relationship with our regulators and on our overall reputation.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
While we believe we are a leader in managing, monitoring and overseeing BaaS relationships with third parties and corresponding technologies, if we are not successful in continuing to enhance our controls for assessing and managing the third-party, anti-money laundering, fraud and information technology risks stemming from certain of our fintech and sponsor bank partnerships, we could be subject to additional regulatory scrutiny with respect to that portion of our business which could subject us to regulatory fines or other penalties, or business or reputational harm, and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We may become subject to enforcement actions or litigation as a result of our failure to comply with laws and regulations, even though noncompliance was inadvertent or unintentional.
We maintain systems and procedures designed to ensure that we comply with applicable laws and regulations; however, certain legal/regulatory frameworks provide for the imposition of fines or penalties for noncompliance even though the noncompliance was inadvertent or unintentional and even though there were systems and procedures designed to ensure compliance in place at the time.
For example, we engage in outbound telephone and text communications with consumers, and accordingly must comply with a number of federal and state statutes and regulations that regulate certain such communications, including the TCPA and Telemarketing Sales Rules. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), and the FTC have responsibility for regulating various aspects of certain of these federal laws. Among other requirements, the TCPA requires us to obtain prior express written consent for certain telemarketing calls and to adhere to “do-not-call” registry requirements which, in part, mandate we maintain and regularly update lists of consumers who have chosen not to be called and restrict certain calls for marketing purposes to consumers whose numbers are properly registered on the national do-not-call list. Further, in late 2023 and early 2024, the FCC introduced various new TCPA requirements relating to, among other things, lead generation, prior express written consent to marketing calls made with certain telephony technology and processing opt-outs and do not call requests. These new requirements went into effect in January 2025. In addition to federal laws, many states also have mini-TCPA and other similar consumer protection laws regulating certain telemarketing calls directed to their residents. Collectively, these federal and state laws limit our ability to communicate with consumers through calls and text messages and reduce the effectiveness of our marketing programs. As construed by certain courts, the TCPA and certain state mini-TCPA laws do not distinguish between voice and data, and, as such, SMS/MMS messages are also “calls” for the purpose of these laws. Other state mini-TCPA laws expressly include SMS/MMS messages within their scope.
For violations of the TCPA, the law provides for a private right of action under which a plaintiff may recover monetary statutory damages of $500 for each call or text made in violation of the statute. A court may treble the $500 amount upon a finding of a willful or knowing violation. There is no statutory cap on maximum aggregate exposure for TCPA violations (although certain courts have applied in TCPA class actions constitutional limits on excessive penalties). Like the TCPA, several mini-TCPA and other similar state laws also provide for a private right of action under which a plaintiff may recover statutory damages of $500 or more for each violative call or text and enhanced statutory damages if the violation is knowing or willful. An action may be brought by the FCC, a state attorney general, an individual, or a class of individuals. Like other companies that rely on telephone and text communications, we may be subject to putative class action suits alleging violations of the TCPA, and state mini-TCPA and other similar state laws. If in the future we are found to have violated any federal or state law regulating telemarketing, the amount of damages and potential liability could be extensive and adversely impact our business.
In addition, we use credit reports in our credit decisioning processes and, accordingly, must comply with FCRA which requires a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer credit report and requires persons that furnish loan payment information to credit bureaus to report such information accurately. We are also required to perform a reasonable investigation in the event we receive indirect disputes from the credit bureaus about the accuracy of our credit reporting for a particular consumer and to update any inaccurate information we discover. Although we have policies and procedures in place to comply with FCRA, we are subject to lawsuits alleging that we failed under FCRA to adequately investigate indirect disputes over credit reporting which we receive from one or more credit bureaus. We have experienced an increase in such FCRA claims since our business has grown and even if we are ultimately successful in defending against such suits, they could involve substantial time and expense to analyze and respond to, could divert management’s attention and other resources from running our business, and could lead to settlements, judgments, fines, penalties or injunctive relief. We are also subject to contractual requirements governing our use of credit reports established by the credit bureaus from whom we receive the reports. If credit reporting data is accessed, used, disclosed, or retained in a manner that is inconsistent with those contractual requirements — whether due to employee misconduct, system error, third-party service provider failure, cyberattack, or otherwise — we could be subject to contractual claims, indemnification obligations, and remediation costs. In addition, we could be required to suspend or limit access to certain data sources, which could adversely affect our underwriting, fraud prevention, marketing, or servicing

operations. Any such event could also result in reputational damage, loss of consumer trust, adverse media coverage, increased compliance costs, and harm to our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Changes in applicable laws and regulations, as well as changes in government enforcement policies and priorities, may negatively impact the management of our business, results of operations, ability to offer certain products or the terms and conditions upon which they are offered, and ability to compete.
Financial services regulation is constantly changing, and new laws or regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, could have a materially adverse impact on our ability to operate as currently intended, and cause us to incur significant expense in order to ensure compliance. Federal and state financial services regulators are also enforcing existing laws, regulations, and rules aggressively and enhancing their supervisory expectations regarding the management of legal and regulatory compliance risks. These regulatory changes and uncertainties make our business planning more difficult and could result in changes to our business model and potentially adversely impact our results of operations. Furthermore, to the extent applicable, these laws can impose specific statutory liabilities upon creditors who fail to comply with their provisions and may affect the enforceability of a loan.
Proposals to change the statutes affecting financial services companies are frequently introduced in Congress and state legislatures that, if enacted, may affect their operating environment in substantial and unpredictable ways. In addition, numerous federal and state regulators and SROs have the authority to promulgate or change regulations that could have a similar effect on our operating environment. We cannot determine with any degree of certainty whether any such legislative or regulatory proposals will be enacted and, if enacted, the ultimate impact that any such potential legislation or implementing regulations, or any such potential regulatory actions by federal or state regulators, would have upon our business.
New laws, regulations, policy or changes in enforcement of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business, or reexamination of current practices, could adversely impact our profitability, limit our ability to continue existing or pursue new business activities, require us to change certain of our business practices, affect retention of key personnel, or expose us to additional costs (including increased compliance costs and/or customer remediation). These changes have in the past and may in the future require us to invest significant resources, and devote significant management attention, to make any necessary changes and could adversely affect our business. For example, on October 13, 2023, the SEC adopted rules relating to providing additional disclosures in the securities lending market. These rules require any covered person that loans a reportable security on behalf of itself or another person to report certain material terms of those loans and related information to FINRA by the end of the day on which the loan is effected. FINRA in turn will make certain information it receives publicly available by the next business day. These regulations could make securities lending more costly, leading to less overall lending activity and a decrease in revenue. On February 22, 2024, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 605 under the Exchange Act that requires disclosures for order executions in national market system (“NMS”) stocks. The amendments modify the type of information required to be disclosed under Rule 605 and expand the scope of reporting entities subject to Rule 605 to include broker-dealers who introduce or carry 100,000 or more customer accounts. Modifications to Rule 605 include new definitions, new and modified categories of order types, and new statistical measures of execution quality and other metrics. New execution quality reporting requires granular, public monthly reports, including fractional shares and stop orders. Errors or unfavorable public metrics could harm our reputation and result in enforcement risk. In May 2024, the SEC adopted amendments to Regulation S-P (“Reg S-P”) which went into effect for large covered institutions (including SEC-registered investment advisers with $1.5 billion in assets under management, investment companies with $1 billion in net assets and all broker-dealers that are not small institutions under the Exchange Act) in December 2025, and will go into effect for all other covered institutions in June 2026. The finalized amendments to Reg S-P are designed to address the expanded use of technology and corresponding risks that have emerged since Reg S-P's original adoption and modernize and improve the protection of consumer financial information by certain financial institutions, also known as "covered institutions" (including broker-dealers and investment advisers). As adopted, amended Reg S-P (i) requires covered institutions to develop, implement, and maintain written policies and procedures for an incident response program that is reasonably designed to detect, respond to, and recover from unauthorized access to or use of customer information; (ii) requires that the response program include procedures for covered institutions to provide timely notification to affected individuals whose sensitive customer information was, or is reasonably likely to have been, accessed or used without authorization; and (iii) broadens the scope of information covered by Regulation S-P's requirements. Failure to meet these obligations, or the failures of vendors on whom we rely, could lead to enforcement actions, litigation and significant costs. On September 18, 2024, the SEC adopted rules that would (i) amend Rule 612 of Regulation NMS to establish a new minimum pricing increment, also known as a tick size, of $0.005 for the quoting of certain NMS stocks; (ii) reduce the access fee caps applicable to stock exchanges under Rule 610 of Regulation NMS (from $0.003 per share (i.e., 30 mils) to $0.001 per share (i.e., 10 mils) and require national securities exchanges to make the amounts of all fees and rebates determinable at the time of execution; and (iii) accelerate the implementation of the round lot and odd-lot information definitions adopted in 2020 under the Market Data Infrastructure Rules (“MDI Rules”) and add information about the best odd-lot order to the definition of odd-lot information. On December 20, 2024, the SEC adopted changes to SEC Rule

15c3-3 and 15c3-1 that modify how broker-dealers protect customer assets and calculate their minimum required “net capital.” These changes, particularly the amendments to Rule 612 and 610 of Regulation NMS, will likely affect the economics for orders executed on national stock exchanges and as a result may impact order routing and order execution decisions by market participants, including third parties on which we rely, like clearing brokers. See “Business, Financial and Operational Risks — We rely on third parties to perform certain key functions, and their failure to perform those functions could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations”. Compliance with this rule may impose additional cost on our business. In addition, SoFi Securities’ ability to generate revenue may be impacted as a result of the changes in stock exchange fee caps and the resulting potential changes in order routing and execution decisions. The ultimate effect of these potential changes is uncertain and may impact how SoFi Securities manages and evaluates its compliance with other obligations, such as its obligation to achieve best execution for customer orders.
See also “Lawmakers, regulators and other public officials have signaled an increased focus on new or additional laws or regulations that could impact our broker-dealer business and require us to make significant changes to our business model and practices and could result in significant costs to our business or loss of current revenue streams”. Compliance with each of these rules, when applicable and if required, would impose additional costs on our business. To the extent such proposals affect the equity market structure more broadly, our ability to generate revenue may be impaired. There is also the risk that, despite our best efforts, the SEC or FINRA does not view our compliance measures as sufficient. This risk is substantially elevated where regulators adopt a substantial number of new rules in a short time frame. In addition, non-compliance with any adopted requirements would likely result in enforcement action by the SEC or FINRA.
Extensive regulation and supervision have a negative impact on our ability to compete in a cost-effective manner and may subject us to material compliance costs and penalties.
The Company, primarily through its subsidiary SoFi Bank and certain non-bank subsidiaries, is subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole. Many laws and regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. They encourage us to ensure a satisfactory level of lending in defined areas and establish and maintain comprehensive programs relating to anti-money laundering and customer identification. Congress, state legislatures, and federal and state regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products it may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to the risk that regulatory or enforcement agencies and/or consumer advocacy groups may assert that our business practices may violate certain rules, laws and regulations, including anti-discrimination statutes.
Anti-discrimination statutes, such as the FHA and the ECOA and state law equivalents, prohibit creditors from discriminating against loan applicants and borrowers based on certain characteristics, such as race, religion and national origin. Various federal regulatory and enforcement departments and agencies, including the Department of Justice and CFPB, take the position that these laws apply not only to intentional discrimination, but also to facially neutral practices that have a disparate impact on a group that shares a characteristic that a creditor may not consider in making credit decisions. State and federal regulators, as well as consumer advocacy groups and plaintiffs’ attorneys, are focusing greater attention on “disparate impact” claims. Similarly, these regulatory agencies and litigants could take the position that the geographical footprint within which we conduct lending activity or the manner in which we advertise loans, disproportionately excludes potential borrowers belonging to a protected class, and constitutes unlawful “redlining”. Although we utilize an automated underwriting process to originate loans, we frequently adjust pricing strategies which increases our risk of inadvertently violating the FHA and the ECOA. These regulatory agencies could also take the position that the underwriting or credit models or algorithms we use produce disparate outcomes or do not produce sufficient information about a credit decision to satisfy applicant notification requirements under ECOA. In addition to reputational harm, violations of the FHA and the ECOA can result in actual damages, punitive damages, injunctive or equitable relief, attorneys’ fees and civil money penalties.
Our investment adviser and broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the SEC and FINRA.
We offer investment management services through the Investment Adviser which offers investment management services in connection with our robo-advisory accounts. The Investment Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act, which does not imply any level of skill or training, and is subject to regulation by the SEC. SoFi Securities is

an affiliated SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. We offer cash management accounts, which are brokerage products, through SoFi Securities.
The Investment Adviser operates in a highly regulated environment and is subject to, among other things, the anti-fraud provisions of the Advisers Act and to fiduciary duties derived from these provisions that apply to its relationships with our members who are its advisory clients. These provisions and duties also impose certain restrictions and obligations on us with respect to our dealings with our members and our investments, including for example restrictions on transactions with our affiliates. Our Investment Adviser is also subject to other requirements under the Advisers Act and related regulations. These additional requirements relate to matters including, among others, maintaining an effective and comprehensive compliance programs and record-keeping and reporting and disclosure requirements. In recent years, the SEC proposed and, in certain cases, adopted amendments to the Advisers Act rules, which present a number of additional significant and burdensome compliance challenges for registered investment advisers. In addition, our Investment Adviser has been in the past, and will be in the future, subject to SEC examination. Moreover, the Advisers Act generally grants the SEC broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict an investment adviser from conducting advisory activities in the event it fails to comply with federal securities laws. The Investment Adviser is also subject to applicable state securities laws. Additional sanctions that may be imposed for failure to comply with applicable requirements include prohibitions of individuals from associating with an investment adviser, the revocation of registration and other censures and fines. Even if an investigation or proceeding did not result in a sanction or the sanction imposed against us or our personnel by a regulator was small in monetary amount, the adverse publicity relating to the investigation, proceeding or imposition of these sanctions could harm our reputation and cause us to lose existing members or fail to gain new members. See Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings”.
Our subsidiary, SoFi Securities, is an affiliated SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. The securities industry is highly regulated, including under federal, state and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, and we may be adversely affected by regulatory changes related to suitability of financial products, supervision, sales practices, advertising, application of fiduciary standards, best execution and market structure, any of which could limit our business and damage our reputation. FINRA has adopted extensive regulatory requirements relating to sales practices, advertising, registration of personnel, compliance and supervision, and compensation and disclosure, to which SoFi Securities and its personnel are subject. For example, FINRA’s 2026 Annual Regulatory Oversight Report included new topics, such as the third party risk landscape, extended hours trading, and registered index-linked annuities, and expanded guidance on AI, cybersecurity, AML/sanctions, and best execution/order routing disclosures, among others. FINRA is explicitly focused on vendor outages and cyber incidents, generative AI-enabled fraud, and controls over fractional shares and after hours trading. The SEC 2026 exam priorities also identify areas such as generative AI and Regulation Best Interest (“Reg BI”) as focus areas. Our use of any AI-enabled tools could draw scrutiny, or failures in any of these areas could result in examination findings, sanctions or customer harm. In addition, sales of complex products and account type recommendations face heightened enforcement under Reg BI. Both the SEC and FINRA remain focused on surveilling off-channel communications and associated recordkeeping violations. If associated persons use unapproved channels (e.g., personal messaging apps) and records are not preserved, we could face substantial penalties and remediation costs. FINRA and the SEC also have the authority to conduct examinations of SoFi Securities and may also conduct administrative proceedings. Additionally, material expansions of the business in which SoFi Securities engages are subject to approval by FINRA. This could delay, or even prevent, the firm’s ability to expand its securities and brokerage offerings in the future. Furthermore, SoFi Securities is subject to increased governance in its role as an affiliate of a national bank under guidance from the OCC regarding RNDIPs. OCC guidance, which was further updated in June 2024, requires that banks implement effective oversight and monitoring of relevant RNDIP arrangements to ensure that, among other things, sales transactions and recommendations to retail investors comply with SEC regulations. Such oversight and monitoring may increase costs for SoFi Securities and SoFi Bank and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and any failure by SoFi Bank to effectively oversee and monitor such arrangements could result in harm to members and financial and reputational harm to us.
From time to time, SoFi Securities and the Investment Adviser may be threatened with or named as a defendant in lawsuits, arbitrations and administrative claims. As previously noted, these entities are also subject to regulatory examinations and inspections by regulators (including the SEC and FINRA, as applicable). Compliance and trading problems or other deficiencies or weaknesses that are reported to regulators, such as the SEC and FINRA, by dissatisfied members or others, or that are identified by regulators themselves are investigated by such regulators, and may, if pursued, result in formal claims being filed against SoFi Securities and the Investment Adviser by members or disciplinary action being taken by regulators against us or our personnel. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or our own policies and procedures could result in fines, litigation, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions, which could have a material effect on our overall financial results. For example, in December 2023, FINRA found that SoFi Securities failed to establish, maintain, and enforce a supervisory system reasonably designed to supervise its fully paid securities lending offerings. Even if a sanction imposed against us or our personnel is small in monetary amount, the adverse publicity arising from the imposition of sanctions against us by regulators could harm our reputation and our brand and lead to material legal, regulatory and financial exposure

(including fines and other penalties), cause us to lose existing members or fail to gain new members. In addition, in the normal course of business, SoFi Securities and the Investment Adviser discuss matters raised by its regulators during regulatory examinations or otherwise upon their inquiry. These matters could also result in censures, fines, penalties or other sanctions.
In addition to the broker-dealer proposals described above under “Changes in applicable laws and regulations, as well as changes in government enforcement policies and priorities, may negatively impact the management of our business, results of operations, ability to offer certain products or the terms and conditions upon which they are offered, and ability to compete”, a substantial number of proposed rules for investment advisers were introduced in 2023 and 2024 and subsequently withdrawn in 2025. These withdrawn proposed rules covered material regulatory topics, including: (i) environmental, social, and governance issues for investment advisers and funds; (ii) outsourcing by investment advisers; and (iii) safeguarding and custody of client assets. A fourth proposed rule regarding expansion of the scope of activities and relationships that make a person an investment advice fiduciary under Section 3(21) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Retirement Security Rule”) was stayed by two Fifth Circuit federal district courts, and the Department of Labor (the “DOL”) decided not to appeal the decisions. The DOL’s regulatory agenda for Spring 2025, however, included a new “fiduciary rule” set to be issued by May 2026. If any of the foregoing rules is re-proposed and enacted, compliance would impose additional costs on our business. There is also the risk that, despite our best efforts, the SEC does not view our compliance measures as sufficient.
Failure to comply with anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions regulations, and similar laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
Various laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad, such as the BSA, the Dodd-Frank Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, and the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act, impose certain anti-money laundering requirements on companies that are financial institutions or that provide financial products and services. Under these laws and regulations, financial institutions are broadly defined to include banks and MSBs such as money transmitters. In 2013, FinCEN issued guidance regarding the applicability of the BSA to administrators and exchangers of convertible virtual currency, clarifying that they are MSBs, and more specifically, money transmitters. The BSA requires banks and MSBs to develop and implement risk-based anti-money laundering programs, report large cash transactions and suspicious activity, and maintain transaction records, among other requirements. In addition, our contracts with financial institution partners and other third parties may contractually require us to maintain an anti-money laundering program. SoFi Bank is subject to the regulatory and supervisory jurisdiction of the OCC with respect to the BSA and its implementing regulations applicable to banks, and the Company and its non-bank subsidiaries, including our technology platform, are subject to the regulatory and supervisory jurisdiction of the Federal Reserve with respect to anti-money laundering and sanctions regulations.
We are also subject to economic and trade sanctions programs administered by OFAC, which prohibit or restrict transactions to or from or dealings with specified countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, their nationals, and with individuals and entities that are specially-designated nationals of those countries, narcotics traffickers, terrorists or terrorist organizations, and other sanctioned persons and entities.
Our failure to comply with anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions regulations, and similar laws could subject us to substantial civil and criminal penalties, or result in the loss or restriction of our national bank charter or broker-dealer registrations and state licenses, or liability under our contracts with third parties, which may significantly affect our ability to conduct certain aspects of our business. Changes in this regulatory environment, including changing interpretations and the implementation of new or varying regulatory requirements by the government, may significantly affect or change the manner in which we currently conduct certain aspects of our business.
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery and similar laws, and noncompliance with such laws can subject us to significant adverse consequences, including criminal or civil liability, and harm our business.
We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.S. domestic bribery laws and other U.S. and foreign anti-corruption laws. Anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws have been enforced aggressively in recent years and are interpreted broadly to generally prohibit companies, their employees and their third-party intermediaries from authorizing, offering or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public sector. These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. Although our operations are currently concentrated in the U.S., as we increase our international cross-border business and expand operations abroad, we have engaged and may further engage with business partners and third-party intermediaries to market our services and to obtain necessary permits, licenses and other regulatory approvals. In addition, we or our third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, partners, and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities.

failure to comply with any such laws could subject us to criminal or civil liability, cause us significant reputational harm and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We conduct our business operations through subsidiaries and may in the future rely on dividends from our subsidiaries for a substantial amount of our cash flows.
We may in the future depend on dividends, distributions and other payments from our subsidiaries to fund payments on our obligations, including any debt obligations we may incur. Regulatory and other legal restrictions may limit our ability to transfer funds to or from certain subsidiaries, including SoFi Securities and SoFi Bank. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries are subject to laws and regulations that authorize regulatory bodies to block or reduce the flow of funds to us, or that prohibit such transfers altogether in certain circumstances. These laws and regulations may hinder our ability to access funds that we may need to make payments on our obligations, including any debt obligations we may incur and otherwise conduct our business by, among other things, reducing our liquidity in the form of corporate cash. In addition to negatively affecting our business, a significant decrease in our liquidity could also reduce investor confidence in us. Certain rules and regulations of the SEC and FINRA may limit the extent to which our broker-dealer subsidiaries may distribute capital to us. For example, under FINRA rules applicable to SoFi Securities, a dividend in excess of 10% of a member firm’s excess net capital may not be paid without FINRA’s prior written approval. In addition, the OCC has the authority to use its enforcement powers to prohibit a bank from paying dividends if, in its opinion, the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Federal law also prohibits the payment of dividends by a bank that will result in the bank failing to meet its applicable capital requirements on a pro forma basis. In addition, under the National Bank Act, SoFi Bank generally may, without prior approval of the OCC, declare a dividend but only so long as the total amount of all dividends (common and preferred), including the proposed dividend, in the current year do not exceed net income for the current year to date plus retained net income for the prior two years. Compliance with these rules may impede our ability to receive dividends, distributions and other payments from SoFi Securities and SoFi Bank.
We have in the past, continue to be, and may in the future be subject to inquiries, exams, pending investigations, or enforcement matters.
The financial services industry is subject to extensive regulation and oversight under federal, state, and applicable international laws. From time to time, in the normal course of business, we have received and may receive or be subject to inquiries or investigations by state and federal regulatory or enforcement agencies and bodies, such as the CFPB, SEC, the Federal Reserve, the OCC, the FDIC, the FHFA, the VA, the state attorneys general, state financial regulatory agencies, other state or federal agencies and SROs like FINRA. We also have in the past and may in the future receive inquiries from state regulatory agencies regarding requirements to obtain licenses from or register with those states, including in states where we have previously determined that we are not required to obtain such a license or be registered with the state. In addition, we have been threatened with or named as a defendant in lawsuits, arbitrations and administrative claims involving securities, consumer financial services and other matters. We are also subject to periodic regulatory examinations and inspections. Compliance and trading problems or other deficiencies or weaknesses that are reported to regulators, such as the OCC, SEC, FINRA, the CFPB or state regulators, by dissatisfied customers or others, or that are identified by regulators themselves, are investigated by such regulators, and may, if pursued, result in formal claims being filed against us by customers or disciplinary action being taken against us or our employees by regulators or enforcement agencies. In addition, we could be required to disclose such federal, state, or local government actions or court orders to others who have supervisory or enforcement authority over us, which could be time consuming and costly, increase demand on our systems and resources and adversely impact our reputation. To resolve issues raised in examinations or other governmental actions, we may be required to take various corrective actions, including changing certain business practices, making refunds or taking other actions that could be financially or competitively detrimental to us.
Any such inquiries, investigations, lawsuits, arbitrations, administrative claims or other inquiries have in the past and could in the future involve substantial time and expense to analyze and respond to, divert management’s attention and other resources from running our business, and lead to fines, penalties, injunctive relief, and the need to obtain additional licenses that we do not currently possess. Our involvement in any such matters, whether tangential or otherwise and even if the matters are ultimately determined in our favor, could also cause significant harm to our reputation, lead to additional investigations and enforcement actions from other agencies or litigants, and further divert management attention and resources from the operation of our business. As a result, the outcome of legal and regulatory actions arising out of any state or federal inquiries we receive could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Lawmakers, regulators and other public officials have signaled an increased focus on new or additional laws or regulations that could impact our broker-dealer business and require us to make significant changes to our business model and practices and could result in significant costs to our business or loss of current revenue streams.
Various lawmakers, regulators and other public officials have made statements about business practices in which we and other broker-dealers engage, including SoFi Securities, and signaled potential new or additional laws or regulations that, if acted upon, could impact our business. For example, a focus by regulators and lawmakers on PFOF, exchange rebates, and related conflicts of interest have resulted in new proposed rules. Additionally, the SEC has proposed new requirements regarding PFOF and a rule to prohibit volume-based transaction pricing in connection with the execution of agency-related orders in national market system stock. The SEC also issued an order in September 2023 directing the equity exchanges and FINRA to file a new national marketing system plan, on which the SEC is soliciting comments. This order and other proposals have the potential to substantially reshape U.S. equities markets in intended and unintended ways, and to substantially alter existing order routing, execution incentives and business practices.
To the extent that the SEC, FINRA or other regulatory authorities or legislative bodies adopt additional regulations or legislation in respect of any of these areas or relating to any other aspect of our business, we could face a heightened risk of potential regulatory violations and could be required to make significant changes to our business model and practices, which changes may not be successful. Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, any negative publicity surrounding PFOF practices generally, or our implementation of this practice, could harm our brand and reputation. For more information about the potential impact of legal and regulatory changes, see “We may become subject to enforcement actions or litigation as a result of our failure to comply with laws and regulations, even though noncompliance was inadvertent or unintentional”.
Regulations relating to privacy, information security and data protection could increase our costs, affect or limit how we collect and use personal information, and adversely affect our business opportunities.
We are subject to various privacy, information security and data protection laws, including requirements concerning security breach notification, and we could be negatively impacted by them. For example, we are subject to the GLBA and implementing regulations and guidance. Among other things, the GLBA (i) imposes certain limitations on the ability to share consumers’ nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties and (ii) requires certain disclosures to consumers about our practices for the collection, sharing and safeguarding of their information and their right to “opt out” of the institution’s disclosure of their personal financial information to nonaffiliated third parties (with certain exceptions). The GLBA and other state laws also require that we implement and maintain certain security measures, policies and procedures to protect personal information.
Furthermore, legislators and/or regulators are increasingly adopting new and/or amending existing privacy, information security and data protection laws that potentially could have a significant impact on our current and planned privacy, data protection and information security-related practices; our policies and practices related to the collection, use, sharing, retention and safeguarding of consumer and/or employee information; and certain of our current or planned business activities. New requirements, originating from new or amended laws, could also increase our costs of compliance and business operations and could reduce income from certain business initiatives. The CFPB, for example, finalized its Personal Financial Data Rights Rule, which could require us to build an application that allows our customers to obtain their personal financial information and for authorized third parties to obtain our customers’ information and to implement privacy protections if we seek consumer financial data from another financial institution, as an authorized third party of a consumer. Although the rule’s original compliance deadlines are currently stayed as part of ongoing litigation, and are not being enforced while the CFPB reconsiders the rule, if implemented this could increase our compliance costs, volatility in our customer base, and the risk of fraudulent access to consumers’ personal financial information.
Compliance with current or future privacy, information security and data protection laws (including those regarding security breach notification) affecting customer and/or employee data to which we are subject could result in higher compliance and technology costs and could restrict our ability to provide certain products and services (such as products or services that involve sharing information with third parties or storing sensitive credit card information), which could materially and adversely affect our profitability. A failure by us or a third-party contractor providing services to us to comply with applicable data privacy and security laws, regulations, self-regulatory requirements or industry guidelines, or our terms of use with our users, may result in sanctions, statutory or contractual damages or litigation (including class actions) and may subject us to reputational harm. Additionally, there is always a danger that regulators can attempt to assert authority over our business in the area of privacy, information security and data protection. Furthermore, if our vendors and/or service providers are or become subject to laws and regulations in the jurisdictions that have enacted more stringent and expansive legislation applicable to
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
privacy, information and/or data protection, the costs that these vendors and service providers must incur in becoming compliant may be passed along to us, resulting in increasing costs on our business.
Concerns in our ability, perceived or otherwise, to protect the privacy and security of personal information may affect our ability to retain and engage new and existing members, clients, investors, and employees, and thereby affect our financial condition. Furthermore, failure to comply or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, rules, and regulations may subject us to examinations, investigations, and general heightened scrutiny that may cause us to modify or cease certain operations or practices, significant liabilities or regulatory fines, penalties or other sanctions. Any of these could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Privacy requirements, including notice and opt-out requirements, under the GLBA and FCRA are enforced by the FTC, the OCC and by the CFPB through UDAAP and are a standard component of OCC and CFPB compliance and examinations. State entities also may initiate actions for alleged violations of privacy or security requirements under state law. Our failure to comply with privacy, information security and data protection laws could result in potentially significant regulatory investigations and government actions, litigation, fines or sanctions, consumer or merchant actions and damage to our reputation and brand, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we collect and process personal data relating to individuals in the EU or the United Kingdom (the “UK”) as a result of either offering goods or services into the EU or UK, or monitoring the behavior of EU and UK individuals, we will be required to comply with stringent privacy and data protection laws. Within the EU, legislators have adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (the “EU GDPR”), which became effective in May 2018. The EU GDPR will impose additional obligations and risks upon our business when we collect and process personal data about individuals from the EU and UK, which may increase substantially the penalties to which we could be subject in the event of any noncompliance. For example, the EU GDPR imposes a broad range of strict requirements on companies subject to the EU GDPR, including requirements relating to having legal bases and conditions for processing personal data and transferring such personal data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the UK, including to the U.S., providing details to those individuals regarding the processing of their personal data, keeping personal data secure, having data processing agreements with third parties who process personal data, responding to individuals’ requests to exercise their rights in respect of their personal data, where required reporting security breaches involving personal data to the competent national data protection authority and affected individuals, where required, appointing data protection officers, where required conducting data protection impact assessments for high risk processing, and record-keeping. We may incur substantial expense in complying with obligations imposed by the EU GDPR and we may be required to make significant changes in our business operations, all of which may adversely affect our revenues and our business overall.
In addition, further to the UK’s exit from the EU on January 31, 2020, the EU GDPR ceased to apply in the UK at the end of the transition period on December 31, 2020. However, as of January 1, 2021, the UK’s European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 incorporated the GDPR (as it existed on December 31, 2020 but subject to certain UK specific amendments) into UK law, referred to as the “UK GDPR”. The UK GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 set out the UK’s data protection regime, which is independent from but aligned to the EU’s data protection regime. Noncompliance with the UK GDPR may result in significant monetary penalties. Although the UK is regarded as a third country under the EU GDPR, the EC has issued a decision recognizing the UK as providing adequate protection under the EU GDPR and, therefore, transfers of personal data originating in the EU to the UK remain unrestricted. The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 has been enacted in the UK which has the effect of altering the similarities between the UK and EEA data protection regime. The EU has, however, extended the UK’s Adequacy Decision from the EC to December 27, 2031. This may lead to additional compliance costs and could increase our overall risk. Like the EU GDPR, the UK GDPR restricts personal data transfers outside the UK to countries not regarded by the UK as providing adequate protection. The UK government has confirmed that personal data transfers from the UK to the EEA remain free flowing.
In addition, around the world many jurisdictions outside of Europe are also considering and/or have enacted comprehensive data protection legislation. For example, we are subject to stringent privacy and data protection requirements in Hong Kong. Also, many jurisdictions where we may seek to expand our business in the future are also considering and/or have enacted comprehensive data protection legislation. Additional jurisdictions with stringent data protection laws include Brazil and China.
The regulatory framework governing the collection, processing, storage, use and sharing of certain information, particularly financial and other personal information, is rapidly evolving and is likely to continue to be subject to uncertainty and varying interpretations. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with laws in other jurisdictions or with our existing data management practices or the features of our services and platform capabilities. We therefore cannot yet fully determine the impact existing and/or future laws, rules, regulations and industry
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

standards may have on our business or operations. Any failure or perceived failure by us, or any third parties with which we do business, to comply with our posted privacy policies, changing consumer expectations, evolving laws, rules and regulations, industry standards, or contractual obligations to which we or such third parties are or may become subject, may result in actions or other claims against us by governmental entities or private actors, the expenditure of substantial costs, time and other resources or the imposition of significant fines, penalties or other liabilities. In addition, any such action, particularly to the extent we were found to be guilty of violations or otherwise liable for damages, would damage our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any such laws, rules, regulations and industry standards may be inconsistent among different jurisdictions, subject to differing interpretations or may conflict with our current or future practices. Additionally, our customers may be subject to differing privacy laws, rules and legislation, which may mean that they require us to be bound by varying contractual requirements applicable to certain other jurisdictions. Adherence to such contractual requirements may impact our collection, use, processing, storage, sharing and disclosure of various types of information including financial information and other personal information, and may mean we become bound by, or voluntarily comply with, self-regulatory or other industry standards relating to these matters that may further change as laws, rules and regulations evolve. Complying with these requirements and changing our policies and practices may be onerous and costly, and we may not be able to respond quickly or effectively to regulatory, legislative and other developments. These changes may in turn impair our ability to offer our existing or planned features, products and services and/or increase our cost of doing business. As we expand our customer base, these requirements may vary from customer to customer, further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business.
We publicly post documentation regarding our practices concerning the collection, processing, use and disclosure of data. Although we endeavor to comply with our published policies and documentation, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies or any applicable privacy, security or data protection, information security or consumer-protection related laws, regulations, orders or industry standards could expose us to costly litigation, significant awards, fines or judgments, civil and/or criminal penalties or negative publicity, and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The publication of our privacy policy and other documentation that provide promises and assurances about privacy and security can subject us to potential state and federal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair, or misrepresentative of our actual practices, which could, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
It may be difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.
Our ability to provide our products and services to our members and technology platform clients depends, in part, upon our proprietary technology. We may be unable to protect our proprietary technology effectively, which would allow competitors to duplicate our business processes and know-how, and adversely affect our ability to compete with them. A third party may attempt to reverse engineer or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary technology without our consent. The pursuit of a claim against a third party for infringement of our intellectual property could be costly, and there can be no guarantee that any such efforts would be successful.
In addition, our platform or those of third-party service providers that we utilize may infringe upon claims of third-party intellectual property, and we have and may continue to face intellectual property challenges from such other parties. We may not be successful in defending against any such challenges or in obtaining licenses to avoid or resolve any intellectual property disputes, or in receiving amounts due to us under indemnification obligations from third-party service providers. The costs of defending any such claims or litigation could be significant and, if we are unsuccessful, could result in a requirement that we pay significant damages or licensing fees, which would negatively impact our financial performance. If we cannot protect our proprietary technology from intellectual property challenges, our ability to maintain our platform could be adversely affected.
Certain aspects of our platform include open source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source licenses could negatively affect our business.
We incorporate open source software into our proprietary platform and into other processes supporting our business. Such open source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License or other open source licenses. The terms of various open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that limits our use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of our platform and negatively affects our business operations.
Certain open source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open source software we use. If portions of our proprietary platform are determined to
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
be subject to an open source license, or if the license terms for the open source software that we incorporate change, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code, re-engineer all or a portion of our platform or change our business activities. In addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of open source software can lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of the software. Many of the risks associated with the use of open source software cannot be eliminated and could adversely affect our business.
Litigation, regulatory actions and compliance issues could subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments, remediation costs, negative publicity, changes to our business model, and requirements resulting in increased expenses.
Our business is subject to increased risks of litigation and regulatory actions as a result of a number of factors and from various sources, including as a result of the highly regulated nature of the financial services industry and the focus of state and federal enforcement agencies on the financial services industry.
From time to time, we are also involved in, or the subject of, reviews, requests for information, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by state and federal governmental agencies and SROs, regarding our business activities and our qualifications to conduct our business in certain jurisdictions, which has in the past and could in the future subject us to significant fines, penalties, obligations to change our business practices and other requirements resulting in increased expenses and diminished earnings. Our involvement in any such matter also has in the past and could in the future cause significant harm to our reputation and divert management attention from the operation of our business, even if the matters are ultimately determined in our favor. Moreover, any settlement, or any consent order or adverse judgment in connection with any formal or informal proceeding or investigation by a government agency, may prompt litigation or additional investigations or proceedings as other litigants or other government agencies begin independent reviews of the same activities. See “If we fail to comply with federal and state consumer protection laws, rules, regulations and guidance, our business could be adversely affected” for a discussion of the FTC Consent Order.
In addition, a number of participants in the financial services industry have been the subject of: putative class action lawsuits; state attorney general actions and other state regulatory actions; federal regulatory enforcement actions, including actions relating to alleged unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices; violations of state licensing and lending laws, including state usury laws; actions alleging discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender or other prohibited bases; and allegations of noncompliance with various state and federal laws and regulations relating to originating and servicing consumer finance loans. For example, we entered into a settlement agreement on April 18, 2022 related to a putative class action in which it was alleged that we engaged in unlawful lending discrimination through policies and practices by making applicants who are conditional permanent residents or DACA holders ineligible for loans or eligible only with a co-signer who is U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. We made an aggregate payment to the class and the class counsel in an immaterial amount. In addition, as a financial services company, errors in performing settlement functions, including clerical, technological and other errors related to the handling of funds and securities could lead to censures, fines or other sanctions imposed by applicable regulatory authorities as well as losses and liabilities in related lawsuits and proceedings brought by transaction counterparties and others.
The environment of increased regulatory compliance efforts and enhanced regulatory enforcement in the past few years has resulted in significant operational and compliance costs and may prevent us from providing certain products and services. There is no assurance that these regulatory matters or other factors will not, in the future, affect how we conduct our business and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business. In particular, legal proceedings brought under state consumer protection statutes or under several of the various federal consumer financial services statutes may result in a separate fine for each violation of the statute, which, particularly in the case of class action lawsuits, could result in damages substantially in excess of the amounts we earned from the underlying activities.
In addition, from time to time, through our operational and compliance controls, we identify compliance and other issues that require us to make operational changes and, depending on the nature of the issue, result in financial remediation to impacted members. These self-identified issues and voluntary remediation payments could be significant, depending on the issue and the number of members impacted, and also could generate litigation or regulatory investigations that subject us to additional risk. See Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings”.
Changes in tax law and differences in interpretation of tax laws and regulations may adversely impact our financial statements.
We operate in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to tax laws and regulations of the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. governments. U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax laws and regulations are complex and subject to varying interpretations. U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax authorities may interpret tax laws and regulations differently than
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
we do and challenge tax positions that we have taken. This may result in differences in the treatment of revenues, deductions, credits and/or differences in the timing of these items. The differences in treatment may result in payment of additional taxes, interest or penalties that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Further, future changes to U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax laws and regulations could increase our tax obligations in jurisdictions where we do business or require us to change the manner in which we conduct certain aspects of our business. Proposals to reform U.S. and foreign tax laws could significantly impact how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings and could increase the U.S. corporate tax rate. Several of the proposals currently being considered, if enacted, could have an adverse impact on our future effective tax rate, income tax expense, and cash flows. Further, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) has issued guidelines that change long-standing tax principles and certain countries have adopted OECD guidelines. These guidelines create tax uncertainty as countries amend their tax laws to adopt certain parts of the guidelines.
We will be adversely affected if we, or any of our subsidiaries, are determined to have been subject to registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
We are currently not deemed to be an “investment company” subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). No opinion or no-action position has been requested of the SEC on our status as an Investment Company. There is no guarantee we will continue to be exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act and were we to be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, the increased reporting and operating requirements could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
In addition, if the SEC or a court of competent jurisdiction were to find that we are in violation of the Investment Company Act for having failed to register as an investment company thereunder, possible consequences include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the SEC could apply to a district court to enjoin the violation; (ii) we could be sued by investors in us and in our securities for damages caused by the violation; and (iii) any contract to which we are a party that is made in, or whose performance involves a, violation of the Investment Company Act would be unenforceable by any party to the contract unless a court were to find that under the circumstances enforcement would produce a more equitable result than nonenforcement and would not be inconsistent with the purposes of the Investment Company Act. Should we be subjected to any or all of the foregoing, our business would be materially and adversely affected.
Personnel and Business Continuity Risks We rely on our management team and will require additional key personnel to grow our business, and the loss of key management members or key employees, or an inability to hire key personnel, could harm our business.
We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our senior management, who have significant experience in the financial services and technology industries, are responsible for our core competencies and would be difficult to replace. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualified individuals are usually in high demand even in an uncertain economy, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. In addition, the loss of any of our senior management or key employees could materially adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and strategy, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all, and our other employees may be required to take on additional responsibilities. Furthermore, many candidates evaluate year over year stock growth trends for a sense of the potential long-term value of their proposed stock awards. The volatility of the market price of our common stock could harm our ability to attract and retain talent. Our executive officers and other employees are at-will employees, which means they may terminate their employment relationship with us at any time, and their knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees. If we do not succeed in attracting well-qualified employees or retaining and motivating existing employees, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
The job market and the optimization of our workforce creates a challenge and potential risk as we strive to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce.
Competition for certain of our employees, including highly skilled technology and product professionals responsible for the design, engineering and operation of systems, is competitive, which can present a risk as we compete for experienced candidates, especially if the competition is able to offer more attractive financial terms of employment. This risk extends to our current employee population. We also invest significant time and expense in engaging and developing our employees, which
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
also increases their value to other companies that may seek to recruit them. Turnover can result in significant replacement costs and lost productivity.
In addition, from time to time, we implement organizational changes to pursue greater efficiency and realign our business and strategic priorities. For example, in the past, we laid off a relatively small number of employees even though we intend to continue to hire in other areas. As our organization continues to evolve, and we are required to implement and optimize our business and organizational structures, we may find it difficult to maintain the benefits of our corporate culture, including our ability to quickly develop and launch new and innovative products. This could negatively affect our business performance. See also “We transitioned to a flexible-first workforce model, which could subject us to increased business continuity and cyber risks, as well as other operational challenges and risks that could significantly harm our business and operations” for more information on the impact of a flexible workforce model on corporate culture and employee retention.
In addition, U.S. immigration policy has made it more difficult for qualified foreign nationals to obtain or maintain work visas under the H-1B classification. These H-1B visa limitations make it more difficult and/or more expensive for us to hire the skilled professionals we need to execute our growth strategy, especially engineering, data analytics and risk management personnel, and may adversely impact our business.
We transitioned to a flexible-first workforce model, which could subject us to increased business continuity and cyber risks, as well as other operational challenges and risks that could significantly harm our business and operations.
We offer most of our employees the choice of working full time in the office, a hybrid approach, or full-time remote. In 2023 we announced an increase in in-office collaboration for non-remote employees who are returning to the office for a specified number of days per month, varying by business team. This return to the office for non-remote employees is limited, and we expect many employees to continue to work remotely for a number of days per week. As a result, we expect to continue to be subject to the challenges and risks of having a remote workforce, as well as new challenges and risks from operating with a hybrid workforce. For example, our employees are accessing our servers remotely through home or other networks to perform their job responsibilities. Such security systems may be less secure than those used in our offices, which have in the past and may continue to subject us to increased security risks, including cybersecurity-related events, and expose us to risks of data or financial loss and associated disruptions to our business operations. Additionally, employees who access company data and systems remotely may not have access to technology that is as robust as that in our offices, which could place additional pressure on our user infrastructure and third parties that are not easily mitigated. These risks include home internet availability affecting work continuity and efficiency, and additional dependencies on third-party communication tools, such as instant messaging and online meeting platforms. We may also be exposed to risks associated with the locations of remote employees, including compliance with local laws and regulations or exposure to compromised internet infrastructure. Allowing our employees to work remotely may create intellectual property risk if employees create intellectual property on our behalf while residing in a jurisdiction with unenforced or uncertain intellectual property laws. Further, if employees fail to inform us of changes in their work location, we may be exposed to additional risks without our knowledge. While most of our operations can be performed remotely and we believe have operated effectively, there is no guarantee that this will continue or that we will continue to be as effective while operating a flexible-first workforce model because our team is dispersed.
Additionally, operating our business with both remote and in-person workers, or workers who work in flexible locations and on flexible schedules, could have a negative impact on our corporate culture, decrease the ability of our workforce to collaborate and communicate effectively, decrease innovation and productivity, or negatively affect workforce morale. If we are unable to manage the cybersecurity and other risks of a flexible-first workforce model, and maintain our corporate culture and workforce morale, our business could be harmed or otherwise adversely impacted.
Our business is subject to the risks of natural disasters, power outages, telecommunications failures and similar events, including public health crises, and to interruptions by human-made problems such as terrorism, cyberattacks, and other actions, which may impact the demand for our products or our members’ ability to repay their loans.
Events beyond our control may damage our ability to maintain our platform and provide services to our members. Such events include, but are not limited to, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural disasters, public health crises, power or other outages, telecommunications failures and similar events. Despite any precautions we may take, system interruptions and delays could occur if there is a natural disaster, if a third-party provider closes a facility we use without adequate notice for financial or other reasons, or if there are other unanticipated problems at our leased facilities. Because we rely heavily on our servers, computer and communications systems and the Internet to conduct our business and provide high-quality service to our members, disruptions could harm our ability to effectively run our business. Moreover, our members and customers face similar risks, which could directly or indirectly impact our business. We currently use AWS and would be unable to switch instantly to another system in the event of failure to access AWS. This means that an outage of AWS could result in our system being unavailable for a significant period of time. Terrorism, cyberattacks and other criminal, tortious or
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

unintentional actions could also give rise to significant disruptions to our operations. In addition, the long-term effects of climate change on the global economy and our industry in particular are unclear, however we recognize that there are inherent climate-related risks wherever business is conducted. For example, our offices may be vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. We have large offices located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Jacksonville, Florida, regions that are prone to events such as seismic activity and severe weather, that have experienced and may continue to experience, climate-related events and at an increasing rate. Examples include drought and water scarcity, hurricanes, warmer temperatures, wildfires and air quality impacts and power shut-offs associated with wildfire prevention and hurricanes. The increasing intensity of drought throughout California and Utah and annual periods of wildfire danger, and the increasing intensity of hurricanes in Florida, increase the probability of planned power outages. Although we maintain a disaster response plan and insurance, such events could disrupt our business, the business of our partners or third-party suppliers, and may cause us to experience losses and additional costs to maintain and resume operations. Our business interruption insurance may not be sufficient to compensate us for losses that may result from interruptions in our service as a result of system failures or other disruptions. Comparable natural and other risks may reduce demand for our products or cause our members to suffer significant losses and/or incur significant disruption in their respective operations, which may affect their ability to satisfy their obligations towards us. All of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Employee misconduct, which can be difficult to detect and deter, could harm our reputation and subject us to significant legal liability.
We operate in an industry in which integrity and the confidence of our members is of critical importance. We are subject to, and have experienced, risks of errors and misconduct by our employees that could adversely affect our business, including:
•engaging in misrepresentation or fraudulent activities when marketing or performing online brokerage and other services to our members;
•improperly using or disclosing confidential information of our members, technology platform clients, or other parties;
•concealing unauthorized or unsuccessful activities; or
•otherwise not complying with applicable laws and regulations or our internal policies or procedures.
There have been numerous highly-publicized cases of fraud and other misconduct by financial services industry employees. The precautions that we take to detect and deter employee misconduct might not be effective. If any of our employees engage in illegal, improper, or suspicious activity or other misconduct, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation, financial condition, member relationships, and our ability to attract new members. We also could become subject to regulatory sanctions and significant legal liability, which could cause serious harm to our financial condition, reputation, member relationships and prospects of attracting additional members.
Risk Management and Financial Reporting Risks If we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the trading price of our common stock may decline.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a report by management on internal control over financial reporting and an attestation of our independent registered public accounting firm are required. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. We are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our annual reports on Form 10-K. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm must also attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our annual reports on Form 10-K. We are required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the applicable stock exchange or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
The annual internal control assessment required by Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley has diverted, and may in the future divert, internal resources and we have and may experience higher operating expenses, higher independent auditor and consulting fees in the future. To comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the requirements of being a reporting company under the
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Exchange Act and any new or revised accounting rules in the future, as necessary, we have, and may in the future further, work to upgrade the Company’s legacy information technology systems; implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures; and hire additional accounting and finance staff. If we are unable to hire the additional accounting and finance staff necessary to comply with these requirements, we may need to retain additional outside consultants. In addition, our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of poor design and changes in our business. For example, our continuing growth and expansion in globally dispersed markets, such as our acquisition of Technisys, has placed and may in the future place significant additional pressure on our system of internal control over financial reporting, as acquisition targets may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We do not conduct a formal evaluation of companies’ internal control over financial reporting prior to an acquisition. We may be required to hire additional staff and incur substantial costs to implement the necessary new internal controls at companies we acquire. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely affect the results of assessments by our independent registered public accounting firm and their attestation reports. If we or, if required, our independent registered public accounting firm, are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could negatively impact the price of our securities.
As a result of any material weakness, restatement, change in accounting, or other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we may face potential litigation or other disputes, which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. We can provide no assurance that litigation or disputes will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute related to our financial statements or internal controls, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We cannot assure you that there will not be additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting now or in the future. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could cause us to fail to timely detect errors and severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.
We adjust our total number of members in the event a member is removed in accordance with our terms of service, and our total member count in any one period may not yet reflect such adjustments.
We adjust our total number of members in the event a member is removed in accordance with our terms of service. This could occur for a variety of reasons—including fraud or pursuant to certain legal processes or if a member requests that we close their account in accordance with our terms of service—and, as our terms of service evolve together with our business practices, product offerings and applicable regulations, additional grounds for removing members from our total member count could occur. The determination that a member should be removed in accordance with our terms of service is subject to an evaluation process, following the completion, and based on the results, of which, relevant members and their associated products are removed from our total member count. However, depending on the length of the evaluation process, that removal may not take place in the same period in which the member was added to our member count or the same period in which the circumstances leading to their removal occurred. For this reason, our total member count in any one period may not yet reflect such adjustments. In any given period, we estimate that up to 10% of our members may be under evaluation for removal in accordance with our terms of service; however, we cannot assure you that this percentage in any period will not be more significant and have an adverse impact on our stock price or results of operations.
Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SEC and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results and could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of a change.

We incur significant costs and expend significant time and effort, as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.
We have incurred and will continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management intends to continue to devote substantial time to new risk management and compliance initiatives. As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these risk management and compliance initiatives. Furthermore, new rules and regulations or changes to existing rules and regulations in the future may increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make certain activities more time-consuming and costly. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, its board committees or as executive officers.
Dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies can be time consuming, which may result in our executive officers devoting less time to the management and growth of the business. We continue to evaluate whether we have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal control over financial reporting required of public companies. We have in the past and may in the future expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company, which has caused and may in the future cause our operating costs to increase. See “If we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the trading price of our common stock may decline”.
Our risk management processes and procedures may not be effective.
Our risk management system is defined in our Risk Governance Framework (“RGF”) and includes our risk culture philosophy and risk governance structure through which our Board and management align strategic planning, execution, performance measurement, and compensation decisions with our values, behaviors, and risk appetite. Our RGF creates a consistent approach to how we identify, measure, monitor, and control the types of risk to which we are subject to, including interest rate risk, credit risk, deposit risk, market risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, liquidity risk, strategic risk, operational risk and cybersecurity risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss that arises when a loan obligor fails to meet the terms of a loan repayment obligation, the loan enters default, and if uncured results in financial loss of remaining principal and interest to the loan purchaser. Our exposure to credit risk mainly arises from our lending activities, including SoFi Credit Card. Deposit risk refers to accelerated availability of depositor funds, prior to settlement, risk of ACH returns or merchant settlements, and transactional limits that may be applied to deposit accounts. Market risk is the risk of loss due to changes in external market factors, such as interest rates, asset prices, and foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that our financial position or results of operations could be positively or negatively impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates. We may in the future be subject to increasing foreign currency exchange rate risk with our acquisition of Technisys, a foreign company, and we continue to pursue a diversified durable growth strategy with expansion via new products and geographies. Liquidity risk is the risk that financial condition or overall safety and soundness are adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet obligations (e.g., current and future cash flow needs) and support business growth. We actively monitor our liquidity position at the broker-dealer and SoFi Bank. Strategic risk is the risk from changes in the business environment, ineffective business strategies, improper implementation of decisions or inadequate responsiveness to changes in the business and competitive environment.
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, controls, people (e.g., human error or misconduct) or systems (e.g., technology problems), business continuity or external events (e.g., natural disasters), compliance, reputational, regulatory, cybersecurity or legal matters and includes those risks as they relate directly to us, fraud losses attributed to applications and any associated fines and monetary penalties as a result, transaction processing, or employees, as well as to third parties with whom we contract or otherwise do business. We believe operational risk is one of the most prevalent forms of risk in our risk profile. We strive to manage operational risk by establishing policies and procedures to accomplish timely and efficient processing, obtaining periodic internal control attestations from management, conducting internal process Risk Control Self-Assessments and audit reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls. Our operational risk, and the amount we invest in risk management, may increase as we introduce new products and product features, and as new threat actors and evolving threat vectors, such as account takeover tactics, increase and become more sophisticated. In order to be effective, among other things, our enterprise risk management capabilities must adapt and align to support any new product or loan features, capability, strategic development, or external change.
Cybersecurity risk is the risk of an unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, availability, or integrity of our systems and data, including, but not limited to, sensitive client data. Our technology and cybersecurity teams rely on a layered system of preventive and detective technologies,
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
controls, and policies to detect, mitigate, and contain cybersecurity threats. In addition, our cybersecurity team, and the third-party consultants they engage, assess our cybersecurity risks and mitigation efforts. Cyberattacks have and may continue to result in financial and reputational risk.
Risk, including, but not limited to, the risks outlined above, is inherent in our business, and therefore, despite our efforts to manage risk, there can be no assurance that we will not sustain unexpected losses. We could incur substantial losses and our business operations could be disrupted to the extent our business model, operational processes, control functions, technological capabilities, risk analyses, and business/product knowledge do not adequately identify and manage potential risks associated with our strategic initiatives. There also may be risks that exist, or that develop in the future, that we have not appropriately anticipated, identified or mitigated, including when processes are changed or new products and services are introduced. If our risk management framework does not effectively identify and control our risks, we could suffer unexpected losses or be otherwise adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Incorrect estimates or assumptions by management in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements or forecasts could adversely affect our reported or forecasted assets, liabilities, income, revenues or expenses.
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, revenues or expenses during the reporting periods. Incorrect estimates and assumptions by management could adversely affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. If we make incorrect assumptions or estimates, our reported financial results may be over- or understated, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on a number of factors, including the competition we face, and our ability to attract and retain members and enterprise partnerships, and macroeconomic risks, while generating sustained revenues through the Financial Services Productivity Loop. Additionally, our business may be affected by reductions in consumer borrowing, spending and investing, consumer deposits or investment by technology platform clients from time to time as a result of a number of factors, including the state of the overall economy, which may be difficult to predict. This may result in decreased revenue levels, and we may be unable to adopt measures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in income. This inability could cause our operating results in a given quarter to be higher or lower than expected. These factors make creating accurate forecasts and budgets challenging and, as a result, we may fall materially short of our forecasts and expectations, which could cause our stock price to decline and investors to lose confidence in us.
We may fail to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business and future operating results, which could cause our stock price to decline.
We typically release earnings guidance in our quarterly and annual earnings conference calls and quarterly and annual earnings releases, and may, from time to time, announce guidance otherwise, regarding our future performance that represents our management’s estimates as of the date of release. This guidance includes forward-looking statements based on projections prepared by our management. Projections are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are based on information known when they are issued, and, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies relating to our business, many of which are beyond our control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, certain of which will change.
Guidance is necessarily speculative in nature, and some or all of the assumptions underlying the guidance furnished by us may not materialize or may vary significantly from actual outcomes. Accordingly, our guidance is only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date of release. Actual results may vary from our guidance and the variations may be material. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged not to rely upon our guidance in making an investment decision regarding our common stock.
Information Technology and Data Risks Cyberattacks and other security incidents and compromises could have an adverse effect on our business and systems, harm our brand and our reputation and expose us to liability. Efforts to prevent and respond to these attacks and incidents are costly.
In the normal course of business, we collect, store, process and transmit non-public and confidential information regarding our members, prospective members, technology platform clients and the customers of our technology platform
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
clients, and employees and third-party service providers, as well as information required to access customer assets. We also have arrangements in place with certain third-party service providers that require us to share consumer information. We have built our reputation on the premise that we are helping members get their money right by offering a safe, secure way to store their money and build a financially sound future. As a result, any actual or perceived security breach of us or our third-party partners have and may in the future:
•harm our reputation and brand;
•result in our systems or services being unavailable and interrupt our operations;
•result in improper disclosure of data and violations of applicable privacy and data protection laws;
•result in significant regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, and other legal, regulatory, and financial exposure;
•cause us to incur significant remediation costs;
•lead to theft or irretrievable loss of our or our customers’ assets;
•reduce customer confidence in, or decrease customer use of, our products and services;
•divert the attention of management from the operation of our business;
•result in significant compensation or contractual penalties payable by us to our customers or third parties as a result of losses to them or claims by them; and
•adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer and information technology systems and infrastructure and those of our third-party service providers and other contractors and consultants upon which our business relies have experienced and are at constant risk of cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions via viruses, worms, break-ins, breakdown, wrongful intrusions, wrongful conduct by insider employees or vendors, malware, ransomware and other malicious software programs, attacks enhanced or facilitated by AI, social engineering (including phishing attacks), business email compromises, hacking, data breaches, denial-of-service attacks or other attacks and similar disruptions from the unauthorized use of or access to computer systems (including from internal and external sources) that attack our products or otherwise exploit any vulnerabilities in our systems or those of our third-party service providers, or attempt to fraudulently induce our members, prospective members, technology platform clients and the customers of our technology platform clients, employees, third-party service providers or others to disclose passwords or other sensitive information or unwittingly provide access to our systems or data. Furthermore, these attempts to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to our and our third-party service providers’ information systems from malicious third parties or insider threats may incorporate widely varying and frequently changing tactics, which may be enhanced or facilitated by AI. In addition, we expect the amount and sophistication of the perpetrators of these attacks to continue to expand, which could include nation-state actors. Such incidents have and could in the future lead to interruptions, delays or website outages, causing loss of critical data or the unauthorized disclosure or use of personally identifiable or other confidential information.
Cyberattacks continue to be prevalent and pervasive across industries, including in our industry, and such attacks on our systems and those of our third-party service providers have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future. Security incidents, data breaches, or compromises could occur from outside our company, and also from the actions of persons inside our company who may have authorized or unauthorized access to our technology systems, despite our investment in security controls. In addition, security threats may increase as a result of geopolitical events, such as in connection with the confrontation in Venezuela, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing war in Ukraine, and U.S. government actions and policies and regulatory priorities. These events could interrupt our business or operations, result in significant legal and financial exposure, supervisory liability, damage to our reputation and a loss of confidence in the security of our systems, products and services. Although the impact to date from these events has not had a material adverse effect on us, no assurance is given that this will continue to be the case in the future.
Cybersecurity risks in the financial services industry have increased, in part because of new technologies, AI, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies (including mobile devices) to conduct financial and other business transactions and the increased sophistication and activities of organized criminals, perpetrators of fraud, hackers, terrorists and others. In addition to cyberattacks and other security incidents and compromises involving the theft of non-public and confidential information, hackers have engaged in attacks that are designed to disrupt key business services, such as consumer-facing websites. We may not be able to anticipate or implement effective preventive measures against all security incidents, data breaches, and compromises, especially because the techniques used change frequently and because attacks can originate from a wide variety of sources. We employ detection and response mechanisms designed to contain and mitigate security
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
incidents, but there are no assurances that these mechanisms will be effective and early detection efforts may be thwarted by sophisticated attacks and malware designed to avoid detection. Despite our investments in detection strategy and a 24/7/365 security operations center, we also may fail to detect the existence of a security incident or data breach related to the information of our members, prospective members, technology platform clients and the customers of our technology platform clients, and employees and third-party service providers.
The access by unauthorized persons to, or the improper disclosure by us of, confidential information regarding our members, prospective members, technology platform clients and the customers of our technology platform clients, employees and third-party service providers, or our proprietary information, software, methodologies and business secrets, could interrupt our business or operations, result in significant legal and financial exposure, supervisory liability, damage to our reputation or a loss of confidence in the security of our systems, products and services, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business. Because each loan that we originate involves, in part, our proprietary automated underwriting process, any failure of our computer systems involving our automated underwriting process and any technical or other errors contained in the software pertaining to our automated underwriting process could compromise our ability to accurately evaluate potential members, which could negatively impact our results of operations. Furthermore, any failure of our computer systems could cause an interruption in operations and result in disruptions in, or reductions in the amount of, collections from the loans we make to our members. Additionally, if threat actors were able to access our secure files, they might be able to gain access to the personal information of our members, prospective members, technology platform clients and the customers of our technology platform clients, and employees. If we are unable to prevent such activity, we may be subject to significant liability, negative publicity and a material loss of members or technology platform clients, all of which may negatively affect our business. In addition, there have in the past been a number of well-publicized attacks or incidents affecting companies in the financial services industry that have heightened concern by consumers, which could also intensify regulatory focus, cause users to lose trust in the security of the industry in general and result in reduced use of our services and increased costs, all of which could also have a material adverse effect on our business.
Further, the costs associated with a cyber attack or other security incident could materially adversely impact our cost of operations and our business. These costs include expenses for incident response, forensic investigations, system and member remediation, data recovery, and business interruption, as well as legal, regulatory, and contractual costs, including costs associated with required notifications, regulatory investigations, fines or penalties, litigation, settlements, and judgments. In addition, a cybersecurity incident could result in increased cybersecurity and insurance costs, including higher premiums or reduced availability of coverage. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our business is also subject to contractual obligations related to the protection, confidentiality, and security of data, including personal, financial, and confidential information belonging to our members, prospective members, technology platform clients and the customers of our technology platform clients, and employees and third-party service providers. Many of our contracts contain data protection, confidentiality, indemnification, limitation of liability, and service-level provisions that could be triggered by a cybersecurity incident or data breach. We have in the past experienced and may in the future experience a cyber breach and we may be required to indemnify technology platform clients or other counterparties for losses arising from the incident, provide credits, refunds, or other contractual remedies, or face claims for damages resulting from alleged failures to meet contractual security or availability commitments. Certain contracts may also permit counterparties to terminate or suspend services, seek injunctive relief, or pursue other remedies following a data breach. In addition, contractual liability arising from a cyber breach or other security incident could result in substantial defense costs, settlements, or judgments, as well as increased scrutiny during contract renewals or negotiations. Our contractual protections, including limitations of liability, exclusions, and insurance coverage, may be insufficient to fully mitigate these risks or may not apply in all circumstances. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Further, although we maintain cyber liability insurance, this insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities related to any experienced cybersecurity incident or breach.
The processing of personal data and implementation of new technologies could give rise to liabilities as a result of federal, state and international laws and regulations, as well as our failure to adhere to the privacy and data security practices that we articulate to our members.
We collect, process, store, use, share and/or transmit a large volume of personal information and other non-public data from current, past and prospective members. There are federal, state, and foreign laws regarding privacy, data security and the collection, use, storage, protection, sharing and/or transmission of personal information and non-public data. Additionally, many states continue to enact legislation on matters of privacy, information security, cybersecurity, data breach and data breach
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
notification requirements. For example, as of January 1, 2020, the CCPA granted additional consumer rights with respect to data privacy in California. The CCPA was amended by a California ballot initiative, the CPRA, in November 2020. The CCPA amendments, including expanded rights for consumers and obligations for businesses, went into effect on January 1, 2023. The CCPA, among other things, entitles California residents to know how their personal information is being collected and shared, to access or request the deletion of their personal information and to opt out of the sharing of their personal information. The amended CCPA also created a new state agency, the CPPA, and vested it with full administrative power, authority and jurisdiction to implement and enforce the CCPA. Generally, personal information that we process is subject to GLBA and thereby exempt from CCPA coverage. However, the CCPA regulates other personal information that we collect and process in connection with the business. While we have made modifications to our data collection and processing practices and policies to comply with the CCPA, we cannot predict their impact on our business, operations or financial condition.
Laws similar to the CCPA have entered into force in numerous other states. Further, a number of other states have proposed new privacy laws, certain of which would be comprehensive such as the CCPA and others which are more narrowly focused on particular types of data. Such proposed legislation, if enacted, may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources in compliance programs, impact strategies and the availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies. Certain states have already passed laws regulating specific aspects of privacy. For example, a small number of states, such as Washington, Illinois and Texas, have enacted laws that specifically target the collection and use of biometric information. The existence of comprehensive privacy laws in different states in the country makes our compliance obligations more complex and costly and may increase the likelihood that we may be subject to enforcement actions or otherwise incur liability for noncompliance. In addition, laws in all 50 U.S. states require businesses to provide notice to individuals if certain of their personal information has been disclosed as a result of a qualifying data breach. These various privacy and security laws may impact our business activities, including our identification of research subjects, relationships with business partners and ultimately the marketing and distribution of our products. State laws are changing rapidly and U.S. Congress may in the future enact a comprehensive federal data privacy law to which we may likely become subject.
Regulators and legislators in the U.S. are increasingly scrutinizing and restricting certain personal data transfers and transactions involving foreign countries. For example, Preventing Access to Americans’ Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern, as implemented by Department of Justice regulations issued in December 2024, prohibits data brokerage transactions involving certain sensitive personal data categories, including health data, genetic data, and biospecimens, to countries of concern, including China. The regulations also restrict certain investment agreements, employment agreements and vendor agreements involving such data and countries of concern, absent specified cybersecurity controls. Actual or alleged violations of these regulations may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions and may result in exclusion from participation in federal and state programs.
Outside the United States, an increasing number of laws, regulations, and industry standards apply to data privacy and security, and we expect that there will continue to be new or amended laws, regulations, standards and obligations proposed and enacted in various foreign jurisdictions. For example, the EU GDPR, the UK GDPR, various Latin American (“LATAM”) privacy laws such as Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (“LGPD”) and Argentina’s Ley de Protección de los Datos Personales (“PDPA”) impose strict requirements for the processing of personal data of individuals located, respectively, within the EEA, the UK and LATAM region. For example, under the EU GDPR, government regulators may impose temporary or definitive bans on data processing, as well as fines of up to 20 million Euros (£17.5 million in the UK) or 4% of the annual global revenue of the company, whichever is greater; or private litigation related to processing of personal data brought by classes of data subjects or consumer protection organizations authorized at law to represent their interests. Certain jurisdictions, such as the EU, Switzerland, the UK and LATAM have enacted cross-border personal data transfers laws regulating personal data flows to third countries. For example, absent appropriate safeguards or other circumstances, the EU GDPR generally restricts the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the EEA, such as the United States, which the EC does not consider to be providing an adequate level of personal data protection. The EC has issued standard contractual clauses for data transfers from controllers or processors in the EU (or otherwise subject to the EU GDPR) to controllers or processors established outside the EU. The standard contractual clauses require exporters to assess the risk of a data transfer on a case-by-case basis, including an analysis of the laws in the destination country. The UK is not subject to the EC’s standard contractual clauses but has published a UK-specific transfer mechanism, which enables transfers from the UK. The UK-specific mechanism, the “International Data Transfer Agreement”, requires a similar risk assessment of the transfer as the standard contractual clauses. Further, the EU and United States have adopted its adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ("EU Framework"), which entered into force on July 11, 2023. The EU Framework provides that the protection of personal data transferred between the EU and the United States is comparable to that offered in the EU. This provides a further avenue to ensuring transfers to the United States are carried out in line with the EU GDPR. There has been an extension to the EU Framework to cover UK transfers to the United States and Switzerland has also agreed to a corresponding framework with the U.S. recognizing an adequate level of protection for personal data transfers under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
These Frameworks could be challenged like predecessor frameworks. This complexity and the additional contractual burden may increase our overall risk exposure. In addition, laws in LATAM similarly restrict personal data transfers outside of those jurisdictions to countries such as the U.S. that do not provide an adequate level of personal data protection. In addition to European restrictions on cross-border personal data transfers, other jurisdictions have enacted or are considering similar cross-border personal data transfer laws and local personal data residency laws, any of which could increase the cost and complexity of doing business. If we cannot implement a valid compliance mechanism for cross-border personal data transfers, we may face increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines, and injunctions against processing or transferring personal data from Europe or elsewhere. Inability to import personal data to the U.S. may significantly and negatively impact our business operations, including by limiting our ability to collaborate with parties subject to European and other data protection laws or requiring us to increase our personal data processing capabilities in Europe and/or elsewhere at significant expense.
Certain of our products and services are also subject to self-regulatory standards and industry certifications that may legally or contractually apply to us. These include the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards ("PCI-DSS"), AICPA, and Security Organization Control 2 ("SOC 2"), which apply to or are maintained by certain of our solutions. In the event we fail to comply with the PCI-DSS or fail to maintain our SOC 2 certification, we could be in breach of our obligations under customer and other contracts, fines and other penalties could result, and we may suffer reputational harm and damage to our business. Further, our customers may expect us to comply with more stringent privacy, data storage and data security requirements than those imposed by laws, regulations or self-regulatory requirements, and we may be obligated contractually to comply with additional or different standards relating to our handling or protection of data.
Separately, the rapid evolution of AI will require the application of significant resources to design, develop, test and maintain our products and services to help ensure that AI is implemented in accordance with applicable law and regulation and in a socially responsible manner and to minimize any real or perceived unintended harmful impacts. As the regulatory framework for machine learning technology and AI evolves, new state laws and regulations are emerging and it is likely that other new laws and regulations will be adopted in the near future, or that existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in ways that would affect our business and the ways in which we may use AI and machine learning technology, our financial condition and our results of operations, including as a result of the cost to comply with such laws or regulations. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”), the world’s first comprehensive AI law, entered into force on August 1, 2024 and, with certain exceptions, will begin to apply as of August 2, 2026. As enacted, this legislation imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high-risk AI systems, and encourages providers and deployers of AI systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. If we develop or use AI systems that are governed by the AI Act, it may necessitate ensuring higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, as well as adhering to specific ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements, certain of which may increase our costs and compliance obligations. Further, potential government regulation related to AI use and ethics may also increase the cost of research and development in this area, and failure to properly remediate AI usage or ethics issues may cause public confidence in AI to be undermined, which could slow adoption of AI in our products and services.
Likewise, in the U.S., the regulatory environment is complex and uncertain. The U.S. Presidential administration’s Executive Order "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence," effective December 11, 2025, directed federal agency reviews of state AI laws and coordination between White House advisors and Congress to reach a legislative proposal for a uniform federal AI policy framework. At the same time, several states, including Texas, Colorado and California, passed laws that regulate various facets of AI, certain of which have taken effect and will continue to take effect through 2026 and beyond. These laws address a wide range of AI-related topics, including consequential decisions, transparency, training data, among others, and it remains unclear which requirements, if any, will be superseded by the Executive Order. In addition, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the application of existing federal and state legal frameworks to uses and development of AI, and legal norms and market standards regarding AI continue to evolve. If we develop or use AI systems that are governed by these laws or regulations, we will need to meet higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, and we would need to adhere to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. We may also be subject to significant enforcement or litigation in the event of any perceived non-compliance.
Any violations of these laws and regulations may require us to change our business practices or operational structure, including limiting our activities in certain states and/or jurisdictions, address legal claims, and sustain monetary penalties, reputational damage and/or other harms to our business. Further, in certain cases we rely on the data processing, privacy, data protection and cybersecurity practices of our third-party service providers, including with regard to maintaining the confidentiality, security and integrity of data. If we fail to manage our third-party service providers or their relevant practices, or if they fail to meet any requirements with regard to data processing, privacy, data protection or cybersecurity required by applicable legal or contractual obligations that we face (including any applicable requirements of our clients), we may be liable in certain cases. Legal obligations relating to privacy, cybersecurity and data protection may require us to manage our third-

party service providers and their practices and to enter into agreements with them in certain cases. We may face difficulties in binding our third-party service providers to these agreements and otherwise managing their relevant practices, which may subject us to claims, proceedings, and liabilities.
Furthermore, our online privacy policy and website make certain statements regarding our privacy, information security, and data security practices with regard to information collected from our members. Failure to adhere to such practices may result in regulatory scrutiny and investigation (including the potential for fines and monetary penalties), complaints by affected members, reputational damage and other harm to our business. If either we, or the third-party service providers with which we share member data, are unable to address privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or to comply with applicable laws and regulations, it could result in additional costs and liability, damage our reputation, and harm our business.
Disruptions in the operation of our computer systems and third-party data centers and service providers could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our ability to deliver products and services to our members and clients, and otherwise operate our business and comply with applicable laws, depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer systems and third-party data centers, as well as third-party service providers. Our computer systems and third-party providers may encounter service interruptions at any time due to system or software failure or errors, employee misconfiguration of resources or misdirected communications, natural disasters, severe weather conditions, health pandemics, terrorist attacks, cyberattacks or other events. For example, in September 2023, the SoFi Invest platform experienced a service interruption that resulted in certain of our members being unable to view certain of their account information and unable to buy and sell securities and other financial products on our platform for a period of time. Any such events, including persistent interruptions or perceptions of such interruptions whether true or not, in our products and services could cause members to believe that our products and services are unreliable, leading them to switch to our competitors or to otherwise avoid our products and services, and otherwise have a negative effect on our business and technology infrastructure (including our computer network systems), which could lead to member dissatisfaction or long-term disruption of our operations. Additionally, our insurance policies might be insufficient to cover a claim made against us by any such members affected by any disruptions, outages, or other performance or infrastructure problems.
Additionally, our reliance on third-party providers may mean that we will not be able to resolve operational problems internally or on a timely basis, as our operations will depend upon such third-party service providers communicating appropriately and responding swiftly to their own service disruptions through industry standard best practices in business continuity and/or disaster recovery. As a last resort, we may rely on our ability to replace a third-party service provider if it experiences difficulties that interrupt operations for a prolonged period of time or if an essential third-party service terminates. If these service arrangements are terminated for any reason without an immediately available substitute arrangement, our operations may be severely interrupted or delayed. If such interruption or delay were to continue for a substantial period of time, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The implementation of technology changes and upgrades to maintain current and integrate new systems may cause service interruptions, transaction processing errors or system conversion delays and may cause us to fail to comply with applicable laws, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We have made and expect to continue to make substantial and increasing investments in “observability”, or the monitoring of our systems, but limitations or failures in those systems may exacerbate other problems by preventing us from anticipating or quickly detecting issues. In addition, our ability to monitor third party services and service providers is limited, and so our ability to anticipate, detect, and remediate anomalies in those services is also more limited when compared to our internal systems monitoring.
Although our current use of AI and machine learning is limited, our systems and those of our partners are increasingly reliant on AI machine learning systems, which are complex and may have errors or inadequacies that are not easily detectable. These systems may inadvertently reduce the efficiency of our systems, or may cause unintentional or unexpected outputs that are incorrect, do not match our business goals, do not comply with our policies, or otherwise are inconsistent with our brands, guiding principles and mission. Errors or breakdowns in our machine learning systems could also result in damage to our reputation, loss of members, loss of revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our growth prospects and our business. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information and intellectual property. Any of these effects could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, cause us to breach applicable laws and regulations and contractual obligations, and adversely impact our business.
We expect that new technologies and business processes applicable to the financial services industry will continue to emerge and that these new technologies and business processes may be better than those we currently use. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully adopt new technology as critical systems and applications become obsolete and

better ones become available. A failure to maintain and/or improve current technology and business processes could cause disruptions in our operations or cause our solution to be less competitive, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities The price of our common stock has fluctuated and may be volatile in the future.
The price of our common stock has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:
•changes in the industry in which we operate, including public perception of such industry;
•developments involving our competitors;
•changes in laws and regulations affecting our business, or changes in policies with respect to student loans;
•variations in our operating performance and the performance of our competitors in general;
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;
•publication of research reports by securities analysts about us or our competitors or our industry;
•the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC or any changes in our reputation;
•actions by stockholders;
•additions and departures of key personnel;
•commencement of, or involvement in, litigation or regulatory enforcement investigations involving our company;
•the occurrence of an actual or perceived data or security breach;
•changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt, including in connection with acquisitions;
•any reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock, which may increase the price of our common stock;
•volatility in capital markets and changes in the volume of shares of our common stock available for public sale; and
•general economic and political conditions, such as the effects of recessions, interest rates, tariffs, inflation, consumer confidence and spending, public perception of the financial services industry, availability of loans and liquidity in the capital markets, local and national elections, corruption, political instability and acts of war or terrorism, including the confrontation in Venezuela, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing war in Ukraine, and policy- and regulatory-related changes resulting from U.S. government actions and policies and regulatory priorities.
These market and industry factors, as well as others, may materially reduce the market price of our common stock regardless of our operating performance.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on obtaining regulatory approvals, if required, our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.
If analysts publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that analysts publish about our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, as they have done in the past, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If few analysts cover us, demand for our common stock could decrease and our common stock price and trading volume may decline. Similar results may occur if one or more of these analysts stop covering us in the future or fail to publish reports on us regularly. In addition, analysts may establish and publish their own periodic projections for us. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our share price may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of these research analysts. In addition, if the market for technology stocks or
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
financial services stocks or the broader stock market experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.
Future resales of our common stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, have in the past and could in the future depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Sales of a substantial number of shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, could have a material and adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market could occur at any time. We have filed with the SEC, and the SEC has declared effective, a registration statement covering shares of our common stock issued in connection with the Agreement, including shares issued to the Third Party PIPE Investors, among others, to facilitate such sales and we have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 which allows us to sell securities from time to time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or increase the volatility in the market price of our common stock.
Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.
Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans or otherwise will dilute our stockholders. We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We expect to continue granting equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under our stock incentive plans. We may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock to decline.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
If Nasdaq delists our shares of common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
•a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
•reduced liquidity for our securities;
•a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
•a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
•a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
Delaware law and our organizational documents contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.
The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and our organizational documents contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, and therefore depress the trading price of our common stock. Additionally, these provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of our Board of
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Directors or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. Among other things, our organizational documents include provisions regarding:
•the ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;
•the prohibition of cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;
•limitations on the liability of our directors, and the indemnification of our directors and officers;
•the ability of our Board of Directors to amend our bylaws, which may allow our Board of Directors to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend our bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and
•advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our Board of Directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in our Board of Directors and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Board of Directors or management of our company.
The provisions of our bylaws requiring exclusive forum in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States for certain types of lawsuits may have the effect of discouraging certain lawsuits, including derivative lawsuits and lawsuits against our directors and officers, by limiting plaintiffs’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable.
Our bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that such court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for any state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation (as either may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action asserting a claim related to or involving our company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, and (v) any action asserting an “internal corporate claim” as that term is defined in Section 115 of the DGCL (the “Delaware Forum Provision”). The Delaware Forum Provision, however, does not apply to actions or claims arising under the Exchange Act. Our bylaws also provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternate forum, the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, will be the United States Federal District Courts (the “Federal Forum Provision”). Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder; our stockholders cannot and will not be deemed to have waived compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
The Delaware Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision in our bylaws may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims and may also impose additional litigation costs on stockholders who assert that either such provision is not enforceable or invalid. Additionally, these forum selection clauses may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage the filing of lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees, even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. In addition, while the Delaware Supreme Court and other states courts have upheld the validity of federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in federal court, there is still uncertainty as to whether other courts will enforce our Federal Forum Provision. If the Federal Forum Provision is found to be unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States may reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Cyber Risk Management and Strategy
At SoFi, we recognize the importance of information security practices designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company information and the personal information that our customers share with us. Using guidance set forth in our Enterprise Risk Management program, we have implemented a cybersecurity risk management program to lead and support the management of information security risks in accordance with our risk profile and business strategy, which is informed by recognized industry standards and frameworks, such as International Organization for Standardization 27002:2013. For additional guidance, we also refer to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council information security guidelines, and Center of Internet Security controls.
Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a number of components, designed to identify, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity risks, including reliance on a layered system of preventative and detective technologies, controls, and policies designed to detect, mitigate, and contain cybersecurity threats. Information security program risk assessments and third party attestations and assessments are conducted periodically by both internal and external resources. We leverage qualified third-party security assessors to identify vulnerabilities through both internal and external penetration tests and perform internal cybersecurity maturity assessments. In addition, our internal audit team conducts information security and information technology audits on an annual basis. We are also subject to examinations by applicable regulators. We conduct cybersecurity awareness training for personnel upon hire and on a periodic basis thereafter, which includes phishing training campaigns.
As part of our cybersecurity risk management program, SoFi maintains a formal Third-Party Security Risk Management program that provides oversight of cybersecurity risks related to supplier relationships. During supplier onboarding, we perform risk-based due diligence for suppliers with access to confidential SoFi information or that require technical integration with SoFi systems. This program includes the provision of a cybersecurity risk assessment to these suppliers during onboarding as well as ongoing monitoring, assessment, and contract review.
We have not identified any cybersecurity incidents, data breaches, or threats that have materially affected us or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For more information on risks to us from cybersecurity threats, see “Cyberattacks and other security incidents and compromises could have an adverse effect on our business and systems, harm our brand and our reputation and expose us to liability. Efforts to prevent and respond to these attacks and incidents are costly” in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Information Technology and Data Risks”.
Governance Related to Cybersecurity Risks
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for risk oversight and has delegated oversight of our cybersecurity program to the Risk Committee, which is comprised of a minimum of three Board members. The Risk Committee is responsible for the information technology and cybersecurity function at the Company. Relevant duties include, but are not limited to, annually reviewing Cybersecurity’s prior year performance and the upcoming program roadmap, and approving the cybersecurity program. The Risk Committee meets at least four times each year and discusses cybersecurity risk management as relevant and applicable.
Our CISO has primary responsibility for assessing and managing our cybersecurity program. The CISO has served in this role at SoFi since June 2025 and has over 25 years of experience working in senior leadership positions in the cybersecurity industry. He previously served as the CISO at leading software and financial technology companies. The CISO provides cybersecurity updates, including risks and threats to the Risk Committee as appropriate, on a quarterly basis.
Item 2. Properties
We primarily operate through a network of leased properties, including largely office spaces, which are primarily located in the United States. We believe our existing facilities are adequate to meet our current business requirements, particularly as we offer our employees the choice of working full time in the office, a hybrid approach, or full-time remote. We expect that will be able to find suitable space to accommodate any potential future expansion. Our properties total

We reported a number of key financial achievements in the year ended December 31, 2025, including total net revenue of $3.6 billion, representing an increase of 35% over total net revenue in 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, total fee-based revenue reached a record of $1.5 billion, compared to $969.9 million in the same period of 2024, a year-over-year increase of 59%. This was driven by strong performance from our Loan Platform Business, as well as origination fee revenue, referral fee revenue, interchange fee revenue and brokerage fee revenue. Diluted earnings per share for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.39. Diluted EPS for the 2024 period does not include benefits from the gain on convertible debt exchanges in the first and third quarters of 2024, but does include the tax benefit of the release of the majority of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.

Lending segment contribution profit of $1.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 14% over 2024 with a segment contribution margin of 55%. Lending segment performance was driven by net interest income primarily driven by growth in average loan balances.
Origination volume for our Lending products increased 57%, as a result of continued strong member demand for personal loans, student loans and home loans as well as strong demand from capital markets partners. Overall, we sold, or transferred through our Loan Platform Business, more than $15.6 billion in total of personal loans, student loans and home loans during the year ended December 31, 2025. We believe that the growth opportunity for the Loan Platform Business continues to be strong.
Technology Platform segment contribution profit of $144.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 14% over 2024, and total net revenue of $450.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 14% over 2024. SoFi continues to diversify its Technology Platform client base. During the year, SoFi announced that Banco Nación, one of Argentina’s largest financial institutions, selected our Cyberbank Digital platform to modernize their digital banking infrastructure. SoFi announced partnerships with several more U.S. consumer brands, as we continue to work with a broader range of companies to help bring innovative programs that drive greater loyalty and engagement with their customers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Within our Financial Services segment, contribution profit of $792.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 significantly improved compared to a contribution profit of $307.0 million in 2024. Total net revenue of $1.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 88% over 2024. During the year, the Loan Platform Business generated $575.9 million in loan platform fees, driven by $11.0 billion of personal loans originated on behalf of third parties, as well as referrals. Additionally, our Loan Platform Business generated $12.3 million in servicing cash flow which is recorded in our Lending segment. In total, our Loan Platform Business added $588.3 million to our consolidated adjusted net revenue across these two segments. We also continued to see healthy growth in interchange fee revenue in the year ended December 31, 2025, up 71% year-over-year, driven by increased spend across Money and Credit Card. We plan to continue to pursue opportunities to increase fee-based revenue.
We achieved continued strong growth in member deposits and strong deposit contribution from direct deposit members, ending the year with $37.5 billion of total deposits as of December 31, 2025, allowing us to maintain access to diversified sources of funding. Total deposit funds grew over $11.5 billion during the year ended December 31, 2025. We continue to provide our members with access to expanded FDIC insurance coverage through a network of participating banks in our Insured Deposit Program, further enhancing the benefits of our offering to our members.
The strength of our results underscores our belief that our suite of differentiated products and services provides the foundation for a diversified business that can endure through market cycles as well as in the face of exogenous factors. For instance, our access to multiple channels of funding, including deposit and loan warehouse funding, provides increased optionality in sourcing liquidity through different environments and periods of capital markets volatility, as well as increases our flexibility to capture additional net interest margin and optimize returns. This typically provides more stable earnings in any macroeconomic environment but is particularly important during times of macroeconomic volatility.
Lending Segment
Net interest income, which we define as the difference between the earned interest income and interest expense to finance loans, is a key component of the profitability of our Lending segment. Lending segment net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on our loans and an FTP charge for the segment’s use of funds to originate loans, which can fluctuate based on changes in interest rates, funding curves, the composition of our balance sheet and the availability of capital.
Technology Platform Segment
We earn technology products and solutions fees for providing an integrated platform as a service for financial and non-financial institutions. Many of our Technology Platform segment contracts are multi-year contracts. In certain of our contracts, we provide for a variety of integrated platform services, which vary by client and are either non-cancellable or cancellable with a substantive payment. Pricing structures under these contracts are typically volume-based, or a combination of activity and volume-based, and payment terms are predominantly monthly in arrears. Many of these contracts contain minimum monthly payments, which may result in credits if we do not meet the agreed upon monthly service levels. We also earn subscription and service fees for providing software licenses and associated services, including implementation, maintenance and subsequent development work. We charge a recurring subscription fee for the software license and related maintenance services. Other software-related services are billed on a periodic basis as the services are provided. Certain arrangements for software and related services contain a provision for a fixed upfront payment.
Financial Services Segment
We earn revenues, both net interest income and fee-based, in connection with our Financial Services segment primarily in the ways listed below. See Note 20. Business Segment and Geographic Information and Note 3. Revenue to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the FTP framework and Financial Services revenue from contracts with customers. Certain products, such as our complementary product SoFi Relay, do not provide direct sources of revenue. Revenue is driven primarily by variability in product utilization by members, as well as volume of transactions related to arrangements that we enter into with enterprise partners as outlined below.
•Net interest income: Net interest income is a key component of the profitability of our Financial Services segment as it relates primarily to our SoFi Money and credit card products. Net interest income on SoFi Money is based on interest income determined using our FTP framework, net of interest expense based on the interest rate offered to our members on their deposits. Net interest income on credit card is based on the contractual interest included in credit card agreements, net of interest expense as determined using the FTP framework.
•Loan Platform Business, other fees: Through our Loan Platform Business, we originate loans on behalf of third-party partners, for which we receive a specified fee upon sale. The fee includes components for a fixed price per loan and

recognition of servicing assets. These fees accounted for 65% of our total Financial Services noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2025.
•Referral fees: Through strategic partnerships, we earn a specified referral fee in connection with referral activity we facilitate through our platform, inclusive of referral fees generated through our Loan Platform Business for providing pre-qualified borrower referrals (referred loans) to a third-party partner who separately contracts with a loan originator. Referral fees are paid to us by third-party partners that offer services to end users who do not use one of our product offerings, but who were referred to the partners through our platform. Our referral fee is calculated as either a fixed price per successful referral, a percentage of the funded loan, or a percentage of the transaction volume between the enterprise partners and referred consumers. Total referral fees, inclusive of referral fees generated through our Loan Platform Business, accounted for 12% of our total Financial Services noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2025.
•Interchange fees: We earn interchange fees from our SoFi-branded debit cards and credit cards. These fees are remitted by merchants and represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value processed through a payment network. We engage a card association and enter into contracts that establish the shared economics of SoFi-branded transaction cards. Interchange fees accounted for 15% of our total Financial Services noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2025.
•Brokerage fees: We earn brokerage fees primarily from our share lending and payment for order flow arrangements related to our SoFi Invest product, in which we benefit through a negotiated multi-year revenue sharing arrangement, since our members' brokerage activity drives the share lending and payment for order flow volume. Brokerage fees accounted for 5% of our total Financial Services noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Annual Report on Form 10-K presents information about certain non-GAAP financial measures provided as supplements to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Our management and Board of Directors use these non-GAAP measures, to evaluate our operating performance, formulate business plans, help better assess our overall liquidity position, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other GAAP financial measures. Other companies may not use these non-GAAP measures or may use similar measures that are defined in a different manner. Therefore, our non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted Net Revenue
Adjusted net revenue is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted net revenue is defined as total net revenue, adjusted to exclude the fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt due to valuation inputs and assumptions changes, which relate only to our Lending segment, as well as gains and losses on extinguishment of debt. We adjust total net revenue to exclude these items, as they are non-cash charges that are not realized during the period or not indicative of our core operating performance, and therefore positive or negative changes do not impact the cash available to fund our operations. Management believes this measure is useful because it enables management and investors to assess our underlying operating performance and cash available to fund our operations. In addition, management uses this measure to better decide on the proper expenses to authorize for each of our operating segments, to ultimately help achieve target contribution profit margins.

(1)Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions on servicing rights, including conditional prepayment, default rates and discount rates. These assumptions are highly sensitive to market interest rate changes and are not indicative of our performance or results of operations. Moreover, these non-cash charges are unrealized during the period and, therefore, have no impact on our cash flows from operations.
(2)Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions on residual interests classified as debt, including conditional prepayment, default rates and discount rates. When third parties finance our consolidated securitization VIEs by purchasing residual interests, we receive proceeds at the time of the closing of the securitization and, thereafter, pass along contractual cash flows to the residual interest owner. These residual debt obligations are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but they have no impact on our initial financing proceeds, our future obligations to the residual interest owner (because future residual interest claims are limited to contractual securitization collateral cash flows), or the general operations of our business.
(3)Reflects gain on extinguishment of debt. Gains and losses are recognized during the period of extinguishment for the difference between the net carrying amount of debt extinguished and the fair value of equity securities issued.

Adjusted Contribution Margin and Incremental Adjusted Contribution Margin — Lending
Adjusted contribution margin and incremental adjusted contribution margin are non-GAAP measures and relate only to our Lending segment. Adjusted contribution margin is defined as segment contribution profit for the Lending segment, divided by adjusted net revenue for the Lending segment, a non-GAAP measure. Incremental adjusted contribution margin is defined as the change in segment contribution profit for our Lending segment, divided by change in adjusted net revenue for the Lending segment. See “Adjusted Net Revenue” above for a reconciliation of Lending segment adjusted net revenue.
Management believes adjusted contribution margin metrics are useful because they enable management and investors to assess the underlying operating performance of our Lending segment, by removing the impact of changes in volume over periods to present a comparable view of segment contribution profit, which is a measure of the direct profitability of each of our reportable segments, as a percentage of segment adjusted net revenue for the Lending segment during each period.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Incremental Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and incremental adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, adjusted to exclude, as applicable: (i) corporate borrowing-based interest expense (our adjusted EBITDA measure is not adjusted for warehouse or securitization-based interest expense, nor deposit interest expense and finance lease liability interest expense, as these are direct operating expenses), (ii) income tax expense (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based expense (inclusive of equity-based payments to non-employees), (v) restructuring charges, (vi) impairment expense (inclusive of goodwill impairments and property, equipment and software abandonments), (vii) transaction-related expenses, (viii) foreign currency impacts related to operations in highly inflationary

countries, (ix) fair value changes in each of servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt due to valuation assumptions, (x) gain on extinguishment of debt, and (xi) other charges, as appropriate, that are not expected to recur and are not indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed as adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted net revenue. Incremental adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the change in adjusted EBITDA, divided by change in adjusted net revenue. See “Adjusted Net Revenue” above for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure.
Management believes adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and incremental adjusted EBITDA margin are useful measures for period-over-period comparisons of our business. These measures enable management and investors to assess our core operating performance or results of operations by removing the effects of certain non-cash items and charges, as well as the impact of changes in volume over periods as applicable. In addition, management uses these measures to help evaluate cash flows generated from operations and the extent of additional capital, if any, required to invest in strategic initiatives.

___________________
(1)Our adjusted EBITDA measure adjusts for corporate borrowing-based interest expense, as these expenses are a function of our capital structure. Corporate borrowing-based interest expense includes interest on our revolving credit facility, as well as interest expense and the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs on our convertible notes.
(2)The income tax expense recognized in 2025 is primarily attributable to the Company’s profitability, partially offset by discrete tax benefits for stock compensation recorded during the year. Our income tax position in 2024 was primarily due to the release in the fourth quarter of a $258 million valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets based on our reassessment of their realizability. Income taxes in 2023 were primarily attributable to income tax benefits from foreign losses in jurisdictions with net deferred tax liabilities related to Technisys, offset by income tax expense associated with the profitability of SoFi Bank in state jurisdictions where separate filings are required, as well as federal taxes where our tax credits and loss carryforwards may be limited. See Note 17. Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(3)Restructuring charges in 2025 and 2024 relate to legal entity restructuring. Restructuring charges in 2023 primarily included employee-related wages, benefits and severance associated with a small reduction in headcount in our Technology Platform segment in the first quarter of 2023 and expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to a reduction in headcount across the Company, which do not reflect expected future operating expenses and are not indicative of our core operating performance.
(4)Impairment expense in 2023 includes $247,174 related to goodwill impairment, and $1,243 related to a sublease arrangement, which are not indicative of our core operating performance.
(5)Foreign currency charges reflect the impacts of highly inflationary accounting for our operations in Argentina, which are related to our Technology Platform segment and commenced in the first quarter of 2022 with the Technisys Merger.
(6)Transaction-related expenses in 2024 and 2023 included financial advisory and professional services costs associated with our acquisition of Wyndham.
(7)Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions, including market servicing costs, conditional prepayment, default rates and discount rates. This non-cash change is unrealized during the period and, therefore, has no impact on our cash flows from operations. As such, these positive and negative changes in fair value attributable to assumption changes are adjusted out of net income to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the earnings available to finance our operations.
(8)Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions, including conditional prepayment, default rates and discount rates. When third parties finance our consolidated VIEs through purchasing residual interests, we receive proceeds at the time of the securitization close and, thereafter, pass along contractual

TABLE OF CONTENTS
cash flows to the residual interest owner. These obligations are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which has no impact on our initial financing proceeds, our future obligations to the residual interest owner (because future residual interest claims are limited to contractual securitization collateral cash flows), or the general operations of our business. As such, these positive and negative non-cash changes in fair value attributable to assumption changes are adjusted out of net income to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the earnings available to finance our operations.
(9)Reflects gain on extinguishment of debt. Gains and losses are recognized during the period of extinguishment for the difference between the net carrying amount of debt extinguished and the fair value of equity securities issued.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income Margin, Incremental Adjusted Net Income Margin and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income margin, incremental adjusted net income margin and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude, as applicable, goodwill impairment expense and certain income tax benefits that are not expected to recur and are not indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share (“adjusted EPS”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share. Adjusted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude, as applicable, goodwill impairment expense and certain income tax benefits that are not expected to recur and are not indicative of our core operating performance, by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the dilutive impact of the 2026 and 2029 convertible notes under the if-converted method for which the 2026 and 2029 capped call transactions, respectively, would deliver cash or shares to offset dilution.
Adjusted net income margin is computed as adjusted net income (loss) divided by adjusted net revenue. Incremental adjusted net income margin is defined as the change in adjusted net income (loss), divided by change in adjusted net revenue. See “Adjusted Net Revenue” above for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure.
Management believes adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income margin, incremental adjusted net income margin and adjusted EPS are useful because they enable management and investors to assess our core operating performance or results of operations, by removing the effects of certain non-cash items and charges to present a comparable view for period over period comparisons of our business.

(1)In the fourth quarter of 2023, we transferred the crypto services provided by SoFi Digital Assets, LLC, and began closing existing digital assets accounts and removing the account from Invest products. This process was completed in the first quarter of 2024. During 2025, we returned to crypto investing with the launch of SoFi Crypto.
See “Summary Results by Segment” for additional metrics we review at the segment level.
Members
We refer to our customers as “members”. We define a member as someone who has a lending relationship with us through origination and/or ongoing servicing, opened a financial services account, linked an external account to our platform or signed up for our credit score monitoring service. Our members have access to our CFPs, our member events, our content, educational material, news, and our tools and calculators, which are provided at no cost to the member. Additionally, our mobile application and website have a member home experience that is personalized and delivers content to a member about what they must do that day in their financial life, what they should consider doing that day in their financial life, and what they can do that day in their financial life. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, we aligned our methodology for calculating member and product metrics with our member and product definitions to include co-borrowers, co-signers, and joint- and co-account holders, as applicable. Quarterly amounts for prior periods were determined to be immaterial and were not recast.
Once someone becomes a member, they are always considered a member unless they are removed in accordance with our terms of service, in which case, we adjust our total number of members. This could occur for a variety of reasons—including fraud or pursuant to certain legal processes—and, as our terms of service evolve together with our business practices, product offerings and applicable regulations, our grounds for removing members from our total member count could change. The determination that a member should be removed in accordance with our terms of service is subject to an evaluation process, following the completion, and based on the results, of which, relevant members and their associated products are removed from our total member count in the period in which such evaluation process concludes. However, depending on the length of the evaluation process, that removal may not take place in the same period in which the member was added to our member count or the same period in which the circumstances leading to their removal occurred. For this reason, our total member count may not yet reflect adjustments that may be made once ongoing evaluation processes, if any, conclude.
We view members as an indication not only of the size and a measurement of growth of our business, but also as a measure of the significant value of the data we have collected over time. The data we collect from our members helps us to, among other things: (i) assess loan life performance data on each loan in our ecosystem, which can inform risk-based interest rates that we can offer our members, (ii) understand our members’ spending behavior to identify and suggest other products we offer that may align with the members’ financial needs, and (iii) enhance our opportunities to sell additional products to our members, as our members represent a vital source of marketing opportunities. When we provide additional products to members, it helps improve our unit economics per member, as we save on marketing costs that we would otherwise incur to attract new members. It also increases the lifetime value of an individual member. This in turn enhances our Financial Services Productivity Loop.
Member growth is generally an indicator of future revenue, but is not directly correlated with revenues, since not all members who sign up for one of our products fully utilize or continue to use our products, and not all of our products (such as our complimentary product, SoFi Relay) provide direct sources of revenue.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Since our inception through December 31, 2025, we have served approximately 13.6 million members who have used approximately 20.2 million products on the SoFi platform.
Total Products
Total products refers to the aggregate number of lending and financial services products that our members have selected on our platform since our inception through the reporting date, whether or not the members are still registered for such products. Total products is a primary indicator of the size and reach of our Lending and Financial Services segments. Management relies on total products metrics to understand the effectiveness of our member acquisition efforts and to gauge the propensity for members to use more than one product.
In our Lending segment, total products refers to the number of personal loans, student loans and home loans that have been originated through our platform through the reporting date, inclusive of loans which we originate as part of our Loan Platform Business, whether or not such loans have been paid off. If a member has multiple loan products of the same loan product type, such as two personal loans, that is counted as a single product. However, if a member has multiple loan products across loan product types, such as one personal loan and one home loan, that is counted as two products. The account of a co-borrower or co-signer is not considered a separate lending product.
In our Financial Services segment, total products refers to the number of SoFi Money accounts (inclusive of checking and savings accounts held at SoFi Bank and cash management accounts), SoFi Invest accounts, SoFi Credit Card accounts (including accounts with a zero dollar balance at the reporting date), referred loans (which are originated by a third-party partner to which we provide pre-qualified borrower referrals), SoFi At Work accounts, SoFi Relay accounts (with either credit score monitoring enabled or external linked accounts), and SoFi Crypto accounts that have been opened through our platform through the reporting date. Checking and savings accounts are considered one account within our total products metric. Our SoFi Invest service is composed of two products: active investing accounts and robo-advisory accounts. Our members can select any one or combination of the types of SoFi Invest products. If a member has multiple SoFi Invest products of the same account type, such as two active investing accounts, that is counted as a single product. However, if a member has multiple SoFi Invest products across account types, such as one active investing account and one robo-advisory account, those separate account types are considered separate products. The account of a joint- or co-account holder is considered a separate financial services product. In the event a member is removed in accordance with our terms of service, as discussed under “Members” above, the member’s associated products are also removed.
Product growth is generally an indicator of future revenue, but is not directly correlated with revenues, since not all members who sign up for one of our products immediately or fully utilize or continue to use our products, and not all of our products (such as our complimentary product, SoFi Relay) provide direct sources of revenue. Further, product growth may not directly correlate with expense growth as a result of the effects of the Financial Services Productivity Loop.

Technology Platform Total Accounts
In our Technology Platform segment, total accounts refers to the number of open accounts at Galileo as of the reporting date. We include intercompany accounts on the Galileo platform as a service in our total accounts metric to better align with the Technology Platform segment revenue reported in Note 20. Business Segment and Geographic Information to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which includes intercompany revenue. Intercompany revenue is eliminated in consolidation. Total accounts is a primary indicator of the accounts dependent upon our technology platform to use virtual card products, virtual wallets, make peer-to-peer and bank-to-bank transfers, receive early paychecks, separate savings from

spending balances, make debit transactions and rely upon real-time authorizations, all of which result in revenues for the Technology Platform segment. We do not measure total accounts for other products and solutions for which the revenue model is not primarily dependent upon being a fully integrated, stand-ready service.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results Our future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges and other factors, including our loan origination volume, financial services products and member activity on our platform, growth in technology platform clients, competition and industry trends, general economic conditions and our ability to optimize our national bank charter.
Origination Volume
Our Lending segment is our largest segment, comprising 51%, 56% and 65% of total net revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We are dependent upon the addition of new members and new activity from existing members to generate origination volume, which we believe is a contributor to Lending segment net revenue. We believe we have a high-quality loan portfolio, as indicated by our Lending segment weighted average origination FICO score of 749 during the year ended December 31, 2025.
We also originate and sell loans in support of our Loan Platform Business, through which we provide lending related services to third-party partners. We maintain the same lending relationship with borrowers across all loans that we originate, inclusive of those originated on behalf of a third-party partner and as such, reflect these products within our Lending segment total products. This enables borrowers to gain access to all the benefits of becoming a SoFi member, and enhances our opportunities to sell additional products from across our platform to these members. Revenue from the Loan Platform Business is fee-based.
See “Industry Trends and General Economic Conditions” for the impact of specific economic factors on origination volume.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Member Growth and Activity
We have invested heavily in our platform and are dependent on continued member growth, as well as our ability to generate additional revenues from our existing members using additional products and services. Member growth and activity is critical to our ability to increase our scale and earn a return on our technology and product investments. Growth in members and member activity will depend heavily on our ability to continue to offer attractive products and services at sustainable costs and our continued member acquisition and marketing efforts.
Product Offerings
Our aim is to develop and offer a best-in-class integrated financial services platform with products that meet the broad objectives of our members and the lifecycle of their financial needs. We have invested, and continue to invest, heavily in the development, improvement and marketing of our suite of lending and financial services products and are dependent on continued growth in the number of products selected by our members, as well as our ability to build trust and reliability between our members and our platform to reinforce the effects of the Financial Services Productivity Loop. In order to deliver on our strategy, we aim to foster positive member experiences designed to lead to more product adoption by existing members, leading to enhanced profitability for each additional product by lowering overall member acquisition costs.
Galileo Account Growth
Galileo primarily provides technology platform services to financial and non-financial institutions, which enabled us to diversify our business from a primarily consumer-based business to also serve enterprises that rely upon Galileo’s integrated platform as a service to serve their clients. We are dependent on growth in the number of accounts at Galileo, which is an indication of the amount of users that are dependent upon the technology platform for a variety of products and services, including virtual card products, virtual wallets, peer-to-peer and bank-to-bank transfers, early paychecks and relying on real-time authorizations, all of which generate revenue for Galileo.
Operating as a Bank
A key element of our long-term strategy included securing a national bank charter, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2022 and began operating SoFi Bank (formerly Golden Pacific), and SoFi Technologies became a bank holding company. Operating as a bank allows for expanded access to multiple channels of funding, including deposits through SoFi Bank and borrowing capacity through the FHLB and Federal Reserve, which provides increased optionality in sourcing liquidity through different environments and periods of capital markets volatility, as well as increases our flexibility to capture additional net interest margin and optimize returns. Since acquiring our bank license, we have shifted and continue to expect our funding mix to be primarily deposit funding, which generally has a lower cost of funds than warehouse financing.
See Part I, Item 1. “Company Overview—SoFi Bank” and “Government Supervision and Regulation” for a discussion of the key expected financial benefits to us of operating a national bank and discussion of supervision and regulation to which we are subject. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for discussion of certain potential risks related to being a bank holding company.
Industry Trends and General Economic Conditions
Our results of operations have historically been resilient to economic downturns but in the future may be impacted by the strength of the overall economy and its effect on key performance drivers such as unemployment, inflation and consumer spending. As general economic conditions improve or deteriorate, the amount of consumer disposable income tends to fluctuate, which in turn impacts consumer spending levels and the willingness of consumers to take out loans to finance purchases or invest in financial assets. Specific economic factors, such as interest rate levels, changes in monetary and related policies, unemployment rates, inflation and consumer confidence, may also influence consumer spending, saving, investing and borrowing patterns. Liquidity and robustness of capital markets may influence both benchmark interest rates and credit spreads, thereby similarly influencing consumer behavior.
The Federal Reserve decreased the benchmark interest rate in September, October and December 2025, each time by 0.25%. Markets are currently pricing in some degree of continued easing over 2026, although the timing of such cuts will be largely determined by the combination of inflation persistence, labor market softness, and the political and leadership dynamics of the Federal Reserve. Stubborn inflation could cause rising interest rates and unfavorably impact demand for refinancing loan products. In addition, if interest rates were to rise unexpectedly or too quickly, or macroeconomic conditions deteriorate, it could have a negative impact on the overall economic growth and the state of the consumer.

Economic and market volatility may also adversely impact our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. We have continued to see strong demand for our deposits as a result of our competitive interest rate offering and access to expanded FDIC insurance coverage through a network of participating banks in our Insured Deposit Program. Our credit trends continued to be strong in 2025 after seeing delinquencies peak over one year ago in the first quarter of 2024. Annualized charge-off rates decreased year-over-year across several portfolios, reflecting improvements in overall credit quality. Changes or uncertainty persists with respect to the U.S. presidential administration, governmental policies and regulations, and evolving priorities and guidance, and may adversely impact our members, our technology platform clients, our counterparties, and our operations, earnings and capital. Negative changes to macroeconomic conditions may result in decreased demand for our products, increased operating costs and negatively impact our results of operations.
Fair Value of Loans
We measure our personal loans, student loans and home loans at fair value. Our fair value adjustments on loans impact our consolidated results of operations and include adjustments related to loans originated during the period, loans held at the balance sheet date, as well as gains (losses) on loans sold or repurchased during the period. Fair value adjustments made in each reporting period are impacted by factors such as, among others, interest rates, weighted average coupon, credit spreads, actual and estimated losses, prepayment speeds, duration and previous loan sale execution on similar loans. In determining our fair value assumptions, we incorporate recent data impacting the capital markets, as well as factors specific to us. Changes in these factors, either positive or negative, can have a material impact on our results of operations.
The following table summarizes the significant inputs to the fair value model for personal and student loans:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Personal Loans | | Student Loans |
| December 31, 2025 | | September 30, 2025 | | December 31, 2025 | | September 30, 2025 |
Weighted average coupon rate(1) | 13.11 | % | | 13.11 | % | | 5.87 | % | | 5.89 | % |
| Weighted average annual default rate | 4.46 | % | | 4.33 | % | | 0.68 | % | | 0.67 | % |
| Weighted average conditional prepayment rate | 26.87 | % | | 26.90 | % | | 11.21 | % | | 11.27 | % |
| Weighted average discount rate | 4.46 | % | | 4.55 | % | | 3.89 | % | | 3.90 | % |
___________________(1)Represents the average coupon rate on loans held on balance sheet, weighted by unpaid principal balance outstanding at the balance sheet date.
As of the fourth quarter of 2025 relative to the third quarter of 2025, we observed the following trends:
•The weighted average coupon rate on personal loans was flat, which reflects the impacts of increased originations and rate reduction passed on to borrowers related to benchmark rate reductions during the fourth quarter.
•The weighted average conditional prepayment rate on student loans decreased by 6 bps, reflecting the impact of expected changes in prepayments.
•The weighted average discount rates on personal loans and student loans decreased by 9 bps and 1 basis point, respectively. For personal loans, our discount rate assumptions decreased in the fourth quarter due to benchmark interest rates declining by 8 bps, along with credit spreads tightening by 1 basis point. For student loans, our discount rate assumptions decreased in the fourth quarter due to credit spreads tightening by 6 bps, partially offset by benchmark interest rates increasing by 5 bps. Credit spread changes are indicated by asset-backed security and secondary markets.
•Annualized net charge-off rates on personal loans in the fourth quarter of 2025 were 2.80%, which remained lower than the assumed weighted average default rates in our fair value model of 4.46%. Personal loan charge-offs during each of the quarters of 2025 were impacted by delinquent loan sales of $359.9 million of aggregate unpaid principal balance. Annualized net charge-off rates on student loans in the fourth quarter of 2025 of 0.76% were higher than the assumed weighted average default rates in our fair value model of 0.68%. The increase in the student loan net charge-off rate was primarily a result of strategically repurchased certain seasoned loans during 2025 that had a higher charge-off rate, in line with our expectations. Our fair value assumption for annual default rate incorporates fair value markdowns on loans beginning when they are 10 days or more delinquent, with additional markdowns at 30 days, 60 days and 90 days past due.
The combination of these and other factors, including in period originations, resulted in fair value gains recognized on our student loans portfolio and fair value losses on our personal loans portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Student Lending
We expect we may continue to see an increase in student loan refinancing volume as borrowers may look to refinance to either a lower rate if interest rates continue to decline or extend the loan term given the high interest rate environment compared to recent historical periods. However, we expect that the timing and impact to our student loan refinancing product will largely depend on other factors, including executive actions by the U.S. presidential administration, the interest rate environment and how competitive our student loan refinancing products are compared to our competitors and macroeconomic factors.
Changes in law, regulations or governmental policies related to federal or private student loans could impact demand for our student loan products and our business in ways that are difficult to predict. For example, in the past, the government has provided relief measures for federal student loan borrowers, including, among others, a federal student loan payment moratorium and debt forgiveness measures. While student loan repayments resumed in October 2023 for certain federal student loans, in May 2025, defaulted borrowers risked garnished wages, seized tax refunds, and reduced Social Security benefits (although these involuntary collections were delayed in January 2026). In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Pub. L. No. 119-21) (“OBBB”) was signed into law, which among other provisions, eliminates Grad PLUS loans and imposes lower borrowing limits and restrictions on Parent PLUS loans, starting in July 2026, and establishes new repayment assistance plans. In August 2025, the Department of Education issued proposed rules that would narrow employer eligibility under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. We expect these changes could lead to incremental opportunities for SoFi’s student loan products; however, all such outcomes are highly uncertain.
Key Components of Results of Operations Net Interest Income
Net interest income primarily reflects the excess of interest income earned on our loans over the interest expense incurred to fund such loans. Net interest income is impacted by loan origination volume, the level of securitization activity, the amount of time we hold loans on our consolidated balance sheet and the volume of member deposits, as well as prevailing interest rates, which impact the rates we receive on our loans and securitization-related investments in bonds and residual interest positions, and the rates we incur from our funding sources including our warehouse facilities, securitization debt and member deposits at SoFi Bank. We also incur interest expense related to our revolving credit facility and convertible notes, as well as on our convertible notes in the form of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income primarily consists of: (i) fee-based revenue recognized from contracts with customers, which primarily relates to our technology products and solutions revenues and the growth and expansion of our financial services offerings, inclusive of referral fees generated through our Loan Platform Business for providing pre-qualified borrower referrals (referred loans) to be originated by a third-party partner, (ii) fees earned upon the sale of loans originated on behalf of third party partners through our Loan Platform Business, (iii) loan origination fees, whereby a borrower may optionally elect to pay origination fees to qualify for a lower annual percentage rate, (iv) fair value changes in loans while we hold them on our consolidated balance sheet and our securitization activities, inclusive of our hedging activities, (v) gains on sales of loans transferred into the securitization or whole loan sale channels, (vi) the income we receive from our loan servicing activities, as well as the assumption of servicing rights from third parties, (vii) gains and losses on non-securitization investments, and (viii) gains and losses on extinguishment of debt.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense primarily relates to the following categories of expenses: (i) technology and product development, (ii) sales and marketing, (iii) cost of operations, and (iv) general and administrative. Certain costs are included within each of these line items, such as compensation and benefits-related expense (inclusive of share-based compensation expense), professional services, depreciation and amortization, and occupancy-related costs. We allocate certain costs to each of these categories based on department-level headcounts. We generally expect these expenses to increase in absolute dollars as our business continues to grow. Noninterest expense also includes goodwill impairment, related to the Technology Platform reporting unit in 2023.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Directly Attributable Expenses
As presented within “Summary Results by Segment”, in our determination of the contribution profit (loss) for our reportable segments, we allocate certain expenses that are directly attributable to the segment. Directly attributable expenses primarily include compensation and benefits and sales and marketing, inclusive of member incentives, and vary based on the amount of activity within each segment. Directly attributable expenses also include loan origination and servicing expenses, professional services, product fulfillment and lead generation. Expenses are attributed to the reportable segments using either direct costs of the segment or labor costs that can be attributed based upon the allocation of employee time for individual products.

2025 vs. 2024. Net interest income increased by $502.5 million, or 29%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, and net interest margin increased by 5 basis points. Average interest-earning assets increased by 28% and average yields decreased by 59 basis points overall, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 28% and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 70 basis points.
The increases in net interest income were primarily driven by (i) higher interest income from personal loans and student loans of $539.9 million, which was primarily a function of increases in the average balance and origination volume, as well as longer loan holding periods, (ii) higher interest income from investment securities of $39.7 million primarily

attributable to higher average balances, and (iii) lower interest expense on warehouse facilities of $9.3 million primarily attributable to lower rates. These items were partially offset by (i) higher interest expense on deposits of $83.9 million, primarily attributable to higher average balances, (ii) lower interest income on interest-bearing deposits with banks of $18.0 million primarily attributable to lower rates.
2024 vs. 2023. Net interest income increased by $454.7 million, or 36%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, and net interest margin decreased by 8 basis points. Average interest-earning assets increased by 38% and average yields decreased by 7 basis points overall, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 44% and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 17 basis points.
The increases in net interest income were primarily driven by (i) higher interest income from personal loans and student loans of $602.1 million, which was primarily a function of increases in the average balance and origination volume, as well as longer loan holding periods, (ii) higher interest income from investment securities of $54.2 million primarily attributable to higher average balances, (iii) higher interest income from interest-bearing deposits with banks of $42.4 million, primarily attributed to higher average balances, and (iv) lower interest expense on warehouse facilities and securitizations of $124.9 million primarily attributable to lower average balances, which is reflective of our continued funding mix shift towards deposit funding. These items were partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits of $422.3 million primarily attributable to higher average balances.
Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income
The following table presents year-over-year changes in net interest income and the extent to which the variances are attributable to changes in the volume of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities or changes in the interest rates related to these assets and liabilities:

Total noninterest income increased by $436.0 million, or 45%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, as described below.
Loan Origination, Sales, Securitizations and Servicing
2025 vs. 2024. Loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing decreased by $35.2 million, or 13%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by losses during the 2025 period compared to gains in the 2024 period on interest rate swap positions primarily related to student loans and personal loans, lower fair value gains on personal loans and net higher personal and student loan write-offs. These decreases were partially offset by higher fair value gains on student loans, higher origination fees and higher fair value gains on home loans in the 2025 period primarily impacted by increased loan origination volume.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
2024 vs. 2023. Loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing decreased by $131.0 million, or 32%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by higher personal and student loan net charge-offs of $172.5 million, primarily driven by growth in the portfolios and elevated charge off rates, lower fair value gains on personal loans, which were primarily impacted by smaller decreases in discount rate assumptions during 2024, lower fair value gains on student loans, which were primarily impacted by higher discount rate assumptions, and gains on student loan, personal loan and risk retention interest rate swap positions during 2024 compared to losses in 2023, primarily driven by larger increases in interest rates in the 2024 period. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher origination fees primarily related to a product feature offered on personal loans, whereby a borrower may optionally elect to pay origination fees to qualify for a lower annual percentage rate.
Technology Products and Solutions
2025 vs. 2024. Technology products and solutions increased by $10.1 million, or 3%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by increased processing and service arrangement activity among our integrated technology solutions clients. During 2025, a large client fully transitioned off the platform.
2024 vs. 2023. Technology products and solutions increased by $26.8 million, or 8%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by increased processing and service arrangement activity among our integrated technology solutions clients as well as account growth.
Loan Platform Fees and Related Servicing
2025 vs. 2024. Loan platform fees and related servicing increased $430.8 million, or 274%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase reflects a full year of Loan Platform Business originations during 2025 compared to the prior year period when the business was fully launched in the third quarter of 2024.
2024 vs. 2023. Loan platform fees and related servicing increased $121.4 million, or 337%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was driven by growth in our Loan Platform Business which was fully launched in the third quarter of 2024.
The following table presents the components of noninterest income associated with our Loan Platform Business:

Other
2025 vs. 2024. Other noninterest income increased $26.8 million, or 14%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by higher interchange income as a result of an increase in spending volumes across SoFi Money and Credit Card and brokerage income, partially offset by gains on extinguishment of debt during 2024.
2024 vs. 2023. Other noninterest income increased $93.5 million, or 99%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was driven by gains on extinguishment of debt and an increase in interchange income.

2025 vs. 2024. The provision for credit losses was $30.3 million for the year-ended December 31, 2025, reflecting net charge-offs of $26.0 million and an allowance increase of $4.3 million. Net charge-offs of $26.1 million decreased $13.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, driven by lower credit card charge-offs primarily due to an improved delinquency rate as a result of tighter underwriting standards and risk mitigation actions. The allowance increase of $4.3 million primarily reflected growth in the credit card portfolio balances, partially offset by continued improvement in credit quality of the portfolio.
2024 vs. 2023. The provision for credit losses was $31.7 million for the year-ended December 31, 2024, reflecting net charge-offs of $39.6 million and an allowance release of $8.0 million. Net charge-offs of $39.6 million decreased $1.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, driven by lower credit card charge-offs primarily due to improved delinquency rate (total credit card delinquency rate was 4.8%, down approximately 210 bps from the comparative period) as a result of tighter underwriting standards and risk mitigation actions. The allowance release of $8.0 million was also primarily related to our credit card products, reflecting improved credit quality of the portfolio, including higher borrower FICO scores. The prior year provision for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $54.9 million, reflecting net charge-offs of $41.0 million and an allowance increase of $13.3 million.
Refer to “Analysis of Charge-offs” for a further discussion of the factors driving changes in net charge-offs and the allowance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
(1)Loans outstanding balances used in the calculation exclude accrued interest.
(2)Secured loans are term loan arrangements secured by underlying loans (collateral) owned by the debtor. The underlying loans were previously originated by us and were subject to our underwriting process and risk models, prior to being sold to the debtor and in most instances these loans continue to be serviced by us. We evaluate the credit quality of our secured loan portfolio relative to the fair value of the underlying collateral, reassessing it quarterly based on relevant information, including funded loan rates and historical loss experience. An allowance for credit losses is required when there is an expected credit loss after considering the fair value of the collateral as well as any anticipated future changes in the underlying collateral. As of December 31, 2025, based on this evaluation we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our secured loans.

___________________(1)Average balances were calculated on daily carrying balances.
(2)Net charge-offs include both credit- and certain non-credit-related charge-offs. Non-credit related charge-offs, which primarily relate to alleged or potential fraud, occur occasionally in our business and are impacted by factors different from our credit related charge-offs. Non-credit related charge-offs were immaterial for all periods presented.
(3)Net charge-offs related to personal, student and home loans are generally recorded in noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing as part of the respective loans total change in fair value. Net charge-offs related to credit card and commercial and consumer banking are considered as part of the allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses.
(4)Excludes the impact of delinquent personal loan sales during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. These loans were sold prior to charge-off during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and otherwise would have been charged off as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 consistent with our policy. See Note 4. Loans to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(5)Net charge-off ratio is calculated as net charge-offs divided by average loans.
2025 vs. 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the total net charge-off ratio was 2.07%, a decrease of 56 bps compared with the year ended December 31, 2024, and total net charge-offs were $670.9 million, an increase of $2.7 million over the comparable period. The decrease in the total net charge-off ratio was primarily due to a lower credit card net charge-off ratio reflective of improvement in delinquency rates (total credit card delinquency rate was 3.5%, down approximately 130 bps from the comparative period) as a result of tighter underwriting standards and risk mitigation actions, as well as lower personal loans net charge-off ratio reflective of improvement in delinquency rates (total personal loan delinquency rate was 52 bps, down approximately 4 bps from the comparative period). The total net charge-off ratio decrease was partially offset by an increase in the student loan net charge-off ratio primarily driven by the repurchase of certain seasoned loans during 2025 that had a higher charge-off rate, in line with our expectations. While the student loan charge-off ratio increased during the period, the delinquency rate was relatively in line with the prior year period, reflecting overall stable credit quality of the overall portfolio.
The increase in total net charge-offs was $2.7 million, driven by higher student loan net charge-offs of $31.0 million primarily reflecting an increase in average loans of 45%, partially offset by lower personal loan and credit card net charge-offs of $14.7 million and $13.6 million, respectively.
2024 vs. 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the total net charge-off ratio was 2.63%, a decrease of 3 bps compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, and total net charge-offs were $668.2 million, an increase of $169.4 million over the comparable period. The decrease in the total net charge-off ratio was primarily due to a lower credit card net charge-off ratio reflective of improvement in delinquency rates (total credit card delinquency rate was 4.8%, down approximately 210 bps from the comparative period) as a result of tighter underwriting standards and risk mitigation actions, as well as an increase of $359.1 million in secured loans, for which we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses. The increase in total net charge-offs was primarily driven by higher personal loan amounts of $148.7 million and higher student loan amounts of $22.0 million.

In addition, charge-off ratios for personal loans and student loans were higher year over year, by 12 bps and 20 bps, respectively, which partially offset the improvement in the total net charge-off ratio. These increases reflect growth in our portfolios, seasoning of vintages and credit normalization, along with the impact of the end of the student loan payment moratorium on August 30, 2023.

Total noninterest expense increased by $647.4 million, or 27%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, as described below.
Technology and product development
2025 vs. 2024. Technology and product development expenses increased $96.5 million, or 17% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher employee compensation and benefits attributable to increases in headcount and salary to support our growth, and amortization of internally-developed software.
2024 vs. 2023. Technology and product development expenses increased $40.4 million, or 8%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was driven by higher amortization of purchased and internally developed software, and tools and subscriptions costs reflective of continued investments in technology.
Sales and marketing
2025 vs. 2024. Sales and marketing expenses increased $299.1 million, or 38%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by increases in advertising and marketing expenditures, as well as higher lead generation costs primarily related to our Financial Services and Lending segments as we continue to drive expansion of our products and offerings.
2024 vs. 2023. Sales and marketing expenses increased $76.9 million, or 11%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was driven by increases in direct member incentives, advertising and marketing expenditures, and lead generation costs primarily related to our Lending and Financial Services segments.
Cost of operations
2025 vs. 2024. Cost of operations expenses increased $147.4 million, or 32%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by: (i) loan origination and servicing expenses, (ii) higher employee compensation and benefits attributable to increases in headcount and salary to support our growth, (iii) product fulfillment costs which included debit card fulfillment services, primarily related to our SoFi Money product, and (iv) professional services costs.
2024 vs. 2023. Cost of operations expenses increased $81.6 million, or 21%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was driven by increases in professional services costs and an increase in product fulfillment costs, which included debit card fulfillment services, primarily related to our SoFi Money product, as well as payment processing network association fees associated with increased activity on our technology platform.

General and administrative
2025 vs. 2024. General and administrative expenses increased $104.3 million, or 17%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was driven by higher employee compensation and benefits attributable to increases in headcount and salary to support our growth.
2024 vs. 2023. General and administrative expenses increased $89.1 million, or 17%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was driven by higher employee compensation and benefits attributable to increases in headcount and salary to support our growth, increases in professional services costs and amortization of premiums on a credit default swap related to our student loans during the 2024 period.
Income Taxes
The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $44.5 million, primarily attributable to the Company’s profitability, partially offset by tax benefits for stock compensation. See Note 17. Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. On July 4, 2025, the OBBB was enacted into law, which included certain modifications to U.S. tax law. The enacted portions of the OBBB have not had a material impact on the Company's results of operations in 2025.
Our income tax benefit in 2024 primarily due to the release in the fourth quarter of a $258.4 million valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets based on our reassessment of their realizability. The timing of this valuation allowance release was primarily due to our cumulative income combined with projections of continued profitability. Management defines cumulative income as the most recent three years of pre-tax income when adjusted for certain non-recurring, non-taxable, or non-deductible transactions.
Our income tax benefit in 2023 was primarily attributable to income tax benefits from foreign losses in jurisdictions with net deferred tax liabilities related to Technisys. Our 2023 benefits were partially offset by income tax expense associated with the profitability of SoFi Bank in state jurisdictions where separate filings are required, as well as federal taxes where our tax credits and loss carryforwards may be limited.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized. In making such a determination of whether a valuation allowance is necessary, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence supporting the allowance. As noted above, in 2024 we released a significant portion of our valuation allowance. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance in certain state and foreign jurisdictions where sufficient positive evidence does not exist to support the realizability of deferred tax assets. Management will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in future periods. See Note 17. Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Summary Results by Segment Contribution profit (loss) is the primary measure of segment-level profit and loss that, along with our key business metrics, is used by management to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends and make strategic decisions. Contribution profit (loss) is defined as total net revenue for each reportable segment less expenses directly attributable to the reportable segment, provision for credit losses and, in the case of our Lending segment, adjusted for fair value adjustments attributable to assumption changes associated with our servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt. See the sections entitled “Consolidated Results of Operations”, “Summary Results by Segment” and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for discussion and analysis of these key financial measures.

(1)Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions on servicing rights, including conditional prepayment, default rates and discount rates. These assumptions are highly sensitive to market interest rate changes and are not indicative of our performance or results of operations. Moreover, these non-cash charges, which are recorded within noninterest income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), are unrealized during the period and, therefore, have no impact on our cash flows from operations.

Net interest income
2025 vs. 2024. Net interest income in our Lending segment increased by $398.8 million, or 33%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024. This was primarily attributable to increases in aggregate average personal and student loan unpaid principal balances of $3.1 billion (20%) and $3.1 billion (43%), respectively, combined with higher weighted average interest rates on student loans. The personal and student loan average balance increases were primarily attributable to higher origination volume and longer loan holding periods.
2024 vs. 2023. Net interest income in our Lending segment increased by $246.5 million, or 26%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023. This was primarily attributable to increases in aggregate average personal and student loan unpaid principal balances of $3.5 billion (29%) and $1.6 billion (29%), respectively, combined with higher weighted average interest rates. The personal and student loan average balance increases were primarily attributable to higher origination volume and longer loan holding periods. Interest expense associated with funding our lending activities increased by $410.0 million, or 44%, primarily due to higher average loan balances.
Noninterest income
Noninterest income in our Lending segment decreased by $35.1 million, or 13%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, and decreased by $131.9 million, or 32%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023. For both periods, the change was primarily attributable to lower loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing income.
Loan Originations, Sales, Securitizations and Servicing
The following table presents the components of noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing:

___________________(1)Includes fair value adjustments on loans originated during the period, fair value adjustments of loans and securitization bond and residual interest positions held at the balance sheet date, as well as gains (losses) on loans sold and consolidated securitization transactions during the period. Fair value adjustments are impacted by interest rates, weighted average coupon, credit spreads and loss estimates, prepayment speeds, duration and previous loan sale execution on similar loans.
(2)For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, includes gross write-offs of $756.7 million, $730.1 million and $533.3 million, respectively. Total recoveries were $111.7 million, $102.4 million and $78.1 million, respectively, of which $81.3 million, $78.8 million and $53.7 million, respectively, were captured via loan sales to a third-party collection agency.
(3)Includes changes in fair value of servicing rights, gains (losses) on IRLCs and interest rate caps and the (expense) benefit associated with our estimated loan repurchase obligation. See Note 18. Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
2025 vs. 2024. The decrease in loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing income of $35.1 million, or 13%, was primarily driven by: (i) losses during the 2025 period compared to gains in the 2024 period on interest rate swap positions primarily related to student loans and personal loans ($479.4 million), and (ii) net higher loan write-offs in the 2025 period ($17.3 million), which were related to student and personal loans.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
These decreases were partially offset by: (i) higher fair value gains on student loans primarily impacted by a larger decrease in discount rate assumptions as well as increased loan origination volume ($292.4 million), (ii) higher fair value gains on home loans in the 2025 period primarily impacted by increased loan origination volume ($86.5 million), and (iii) higher origination fees ($52.3 million) primarily related to a product feature offered on personal loans, whereby a borrower may optionally elect to pay origination fees to qualify for a lower annual percentage rate, as well as home loans.
2024 vs. 2023. The decrease in loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing income of $131.0 million, or 32%, was primarily driven by: (i) higher personal loan as well as student loan write-offs in the 2024 period, primarily driven by higher loan origination volume, longer loan holding periods and elevated charge off rates during 2024 ($170.7 million); (ii) a net decrease of $111.0 million related to the following: lower fair value gains on personal loans, which were primarily impacted by smaller decreases in discount rate assumptions during 2024 ($371.2 million); lower fair value gains on student loans, which were primarily impacted by higher discount rate assumptions ($77.7 million); and gains on student loan, personal loan and risk retention interest rate swap positions during 2024 compared to losses in 2023, primarily driven by larger increases in interest rates in the 2024 period ($337.9 million); and (iii) higher losses of $66.1 million on personal loan sales in the 2024 period, and were due to both price and volume factors, as well as delinquent loan sales in the 2024 period only.
These decreases were partially offset by higher origination fees primarily related to a new product feature offered on personal loans, whereby a borrower may optionally elect to pay origination fees to qualify for a lower annual percentage rate ($242.9 million).
Servicing
We own the master servicing on all of the servicing rights that we retain and, in each case, recognize the gross servicing rate applicable to each serviced loan. Sub-servicers are utilized for all serviced student loans and home loans, which represents a cost to SoFi, but these arrangements do not impact our calculation of the weighted average basis points earned for each loan type serviced. Further, there is no impact on servicing income due to forbearance and moratoriums on certain debt collection activities, and there are no waivers of late fees.
The table below presents information related to our loan servicing assets:

Directly attributable expenses
2025 vs. 2024. Lending segment directly attributable expenses increased by $221.6 million, or 38%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to: (i) an increase in direct advertising primarily related to online, digital and direct mail advertising, (ii) an increase in allocated compensation and related benefits, which reflected increases in headcount in 2025 to support growth in the Lending segment, (iii) an increase in expense related to personal loan lead generation channels, and (iv) an increase in loan origination and servicing costs, which correspond with increased loan origination volume.
2024 vs. 2023. Lending segment directly attributable expenses increased by $75.4 million, or 15%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to: (i) an increase in direct advertising primarily related to online and digital advertising, (ii) an increase in personal and student loan lead generation channels, (iii) an increase in allocated compensation and related benefits, which reflected increases in average compensation in 2024, and (iv) a decrease in other expenses, primarily related to third-party loan fraud.

_________________(1)Inclusive of origination volume related to our Loan Platform Business. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we originated $11.0 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, of personal loans on behalf of third parties. We did not originate any loans on behalf of third parties during 2023.
(2)Loans with a balance and average loan balance include Lending products on our balance sheet, as well as transferred loans and referred loans with which we have a continuing involvement through our servicing agreements.
(3)Includes in-school loans and student loan refinancing products. In-school loans carry a lower average balance than student loan refinancing products.
Origination Volume
We refer to the aggregate dollar amount of loans originated through our platform in a given period as origination volume. Origination volume is an indicator of the size and health of our Lending segment and an indicator (together with the relevant loan characteristics, such as interest rate and prepayment and default expectations) of revenues and profitability. We also originate and sell loans in support of our Loan Platform Business, through which we provide lending related services to third-party partners. We maintain the same lending relationship with borrowers across all loans that we originate, inclusive of those originated on behalf of a third-party partner and as such, reflect these products within our Lending segment total products. Changes in origination volume are driven by the addition of new members and existing members, the latter of which at times will either refinance into a new SoFi loan or secure an additional, concurrent loan, as well as macroeconomic factors impacting consumer spending and borrowing behavior.
Personal Loans. During the year ended December 31, 2025, total personal loan origination volume increased by 56% relative to 2024, inclusive of an $8.9 billion increase related to personal loans originated on behalf of third parties in support of our Loan Platform Business which we expanded starting in the second half of 2024. Demand from our Loan Platform Business has continued to increase as partners seek to leverage our customer acquisition and operational capabilities to originate loans at scale, as well as increased demand driven by expanded advertising and marketing efforts.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, personal loan origination volume increased by 28% relative to 2023, inclusive of a $2.1 billion increase related to personal loans originated on behalf of third parties during the second half of 2024 in support of our Loan Platform Business. Overall increases in origination volume were primarily due to increased demand driven by expanded marketing efforts and increased demand for debt consolidation products in a rising interest rate environment during 2023 that remained elevated into the third quarter of 2024.
Student Loans. During the year ended December 31, 2025, student loan origination volume increased by 46% relative to 2024, as demand for student loan refinancing products continued to increase after the resumption of principal and interest payments in 2024 on federally-held student loans as borrowers looked to refinance at a lower rate, as well as increased interest in loan term extensions given the elevated interest rate environment.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
During the year ended December 31, 2024, student loan origination volume increased by 44% relative to 2023, as demand for student loan refinancing products increased after the resumption of principal and interest payments on federally-held student loans as borrowers looked to refinance at a lower rate or, given the high interest rate environment, to extend the loan term.
Home Loans. During the year ended December 31, 2025, home loan origination volume increased by 86% relative to 2024. Our home loan origination volume increased notably throughout 2024 and into 2025, aided by the increased capacity and technology and fulfillment capabilities subsequent to our acquisition of Wyndham. During 2024, we began offering fixed rate home equity loans and variable rate HELOCs. Origination volume during 2025 reflected increased demand for home equity loans, which have allowed members to take advantage of the equity that has built up in their homes.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, home loan origination volume decreased by 82% relative to 2023. Our home loan origination volume increased notably beginning in the second quarter of 2023 and throughout 2024, aided by the increased capacity and capabilities subsequent to our acquisition of Wyndham. In addition, interest rates declined in the third quarter of 2024, which tends to raise demand for home loans overall as well as shift demand towards refinance originations from purchase originations.
Loans with a Balance and Average Loan Balance
Loans with a balance refers to the number of loans that have a balance greater than zero dollars as of the reporting date. Loans with a balance allows management and investors to better understand the unit economics of acquiring a loan in relation to the lifetime value of that loan. Average loan balance is defined as the total unpaid principal balance of the loans divided by loans with a balance within the respective loan product category as of the reporting date. Average loan balance tends to fluctuate based on the pace of loan originations relative to loan repayments and the initial loan origination size.

(1)Sale execution represents the ratio of cash proceeds and servicing assets recognized to the aggregate unpaid principal balance and accrued interest of the loans sold. Amounts included in repurchase liabilities are excluded from the calculation, as they typically would not materially differ from the fair value markdown on the loans over the repurchase period had they been held on balance sheet and entered delinquency.
(2)Excludes net origination fees, which are recognized in earnings at the time of origination. Personal loans sold during the year ended December 31, 2025, had related origination fees of $42,733. Sales execution including these origination fees would be 108.8%. Personal loans sold during the year ended December 31, 2024, had related origination fees of $60.5 million. Sales execution including these origination fees would be 108.0%. Personal loans sold during the year ended December 31, 2023, had related origination fees of $4.7 million. Sales execution including these origination fees would be 106.3%.

Noninterest income
2025 vs. 2024. Noninterest income in our Technology Platform segment increased by $55.7 million, or 14%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in intercompany revenue of $48.7 million, primarily attributable to increased usage of technology platform services during the 2025 period by our Financial Services segment as we continue to leverage synergies to enhance our product offerings. During 2025, a large client fully transitioned off the platform.
2024 vs. 2023. Noninterest income in our Technology Platform segment increased by $42.2 million, or 12%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in technology services fees of $26.3 million driven by increased processing and service arrangement activity among our integrated technology solutions clients as well as account growth. Noninterest income also included $36.8 million and $22.2 million of intercompany revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in intercompany revenue was primarily attributable to increased usage of technology platform services during the 2024 period by our Financial Services segment as we continue to leverage synergies to enhance our product offerings.
Directly attributable expenses
2025 vs. 2024. Technology Platform segment directly attributable expenses increased by $37.6 million, or 14%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily attributable to an increase in allocated compensation and related benefits, which reflected an increase in headcount and increases in average compensation in 2025.
2024 vs. 2023. Technology Platform segment directly attributable expenses increased by $10.7 million, or 4%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily attributable to an increase in product fulfillment costs, primarily related to payment processing network association fees associated with increased activity on the platform.

2025 vs. 2024. Noninterest income in our Financial Services segment increased by $515.9 million, or 208%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to: (i) growth in our Loan Platform Business of $434.3 million, which includes increases in loan platform fees related to revenue from loans which we originate on behalf of third parties in order to subsequently sell as well as pre-qualified borrower referrals to third-party loan origination partners as we continue to drive volume to our partners; and (ii) an increase in interchange fees of $47.5 million, which coincided with increased credit card and debit card transactions.
2024 vs. 2023. Noninterest income in our Financial Services segment increased by $146.4 million, or 144%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to: (i) growth in our Loan Platform Business of $108.0 million, which includes increases in loan platform fees related to revenue from loans which we originate on behalf of third parties in order to subsequently sell as well as pre-qualified borrower referrals to third-party loan origination partners as we continue to drive volume to our partners; and (ii) an increase in interchange fees of $31.6 million, which coincided with increased credit card and debit card transactions.
Provision for credit losses
2025 vs. 2024. Provision for credit losses in our Financial Services segment decreased by $1.3 million, or 4%. The allowance increase of $4.3 million during 2025 primarily reflected growth in the credit card portfolio balances, partially offset by continued improvement in credit quality of the portfolio. Net charge-offs decreased primarily related to improvement in credit card delinquency rates (total credit card delinquency rate was 3.5% as of December 31, 2025, down approximately 130 bps from the comparative period) as a result of tighter underwriting standards and risk mitigation actions.
2024 vs. 2023. Provision for credit losses in our Financial Services segment decreased by $23.3 million, or 42%, primarily related to improvement in credit card delinquency rates (total credit card delinquency rate was 4.8%, down approximately 210 bps from the comparative period) as a result of tighter underwriting standards and risk mitigation actions, and improved credit quality of the portfolio, including higher borrower FICO scores.
Directly attributable expenses
2025 vs. 2024. Financial Services directly attributable expenses increased by $235.9 million, or 49%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to: (i) a net increase in direct advertising and lead generation costs

as we continue to expand our Loan Platform Business and our SoFi Money product; (ii) an increase in allocated compensation and related benefits which reflected an increase in headcount and increases in average compensation in 2025 to support growth in the Financial Services segment; and (iii) an increase in intercompany expenses attributable to increased usage of technology platform services during the 2025 period.
2024 vs. 2023. Financial Services directly attributable expenses increased by $101.0 million, or 26%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to: (i) an increase in direct member incentives utilized to drive adoption and usage of our Financial Services products, the most significant of which was our SoFi Money product; (ii) an increase in product fulfillment costs, which included debit card fulfillment services, primarily related to our SoFi Money product; (iii) an increase in compensation and benefits expense, which reflected an increase in allocated compensation and related benefits to support growth in the Financial Services segment, in addition to increases in average compensation in 2024; and (iv) an increase in intercompany expenses attributable to increased usage of technology platform services during the 2024 period.

Total assets as of December 31, 2025 were $50.7 billion, up $14.4 billion, or 40%, from December 31, 2024.

Liabilities and Permanent Equity
Total liabilities as of December 31, 2025 were $40.2 billion, up $10.4 billion, or 35%, from December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in total deposits ($11.5 billion) driven by our differentiated checking and savings account offerings and competitive APY, partially offset by a decrease in total debt ($1.3 billion) as our common stock offerings in July and December 2025 allowed us to fully pay down outstanding warehouse lines.
Total permanent equity as of December 31, 2025 was $10.5 billion, up $4.0 billion, or 61%, from December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to our common stock offerings in July and December 2025 and a decrease in accumulated deficit driven by net income during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Uses of Funding
Our primary uses of funds include loan originations, investments in our business, such as technology and product investments, as well as sales and marketing initiatives. In addition, our Financial Services segment has historically generated losses, and achieved contribution profit for the first time during the third quarter of 2023. Our capital expenditures have historically been less significant relative to our operating and financing cash flows, and we expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future.
As of December 31, 2025, we had debt obligations and common stock outstanding.
Borrowings
Our borrowings primarily included our revolving credit facility and convertible notes. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from its common stock issuances to pay down its warehouse facilities; the warehouse facilities remain open to maintain future borrowing capacity.
Refer to Note 12. Debt to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our borrowing arrangements and the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of our convertible notes.
Covenants
We have various affirmative and negative financial covenants, as well as non-financial covenants, related to our warehouse debt and revolving credit facility. Additionally, we have compliance requirements associated with our convertible notes, and certain provisions of the arrangement could change in the event of a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”, as defined in the indenture governing such convertible notes.
The availability of funds under our warehouse facilities and revolving credit facility is subject to, among other conditions, our continued compliance with the covenants. These financial covenants include, but are not limited to, maintaining: (i) a certain minimum tangible net worth, (ii) minimum unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, (iii) a maximum leverage ratio of total debt to tangible net worth, and (iv) minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios. A breach of these covenants can result in an event of default under these facilities and allows the lenders to pursue certain remedies. See Note 12. Debt to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Our subsidiaries are restricted in the amount that can be distributed to SoFi only to the extent that such distributions would cause the financial covenants to not be met.
We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2025.
Capital Management
SoFi Technologies, a bank holding company, and SoFi Bank, a nationally chartered association, are required to comply with regulatory capital rules issued by the Federal Reserve and other U.S. banking regulators, including the OCC and FDIC. From time to time, we may contribute capital to SoFi Bank. We are required to manage our capital position to maintain sufficient capital to satisfy these regulatory rules and support our business activities, including the requirement to maintain minimum regulatory capital ratios in accordance with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standardized approach for U.S. banking organizations (U.S. Basel III). If the Federal Reserve finds that we are not “well-capitalized” or “well-managed”, we would be required to take remedial action, which may contain additional limitations or conditions relating to our activities.
These requirements establish required minimum ratios for CET1 risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and a Tier 1 leverage ratio; set risk-weighting for assets and certain other items for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios; and define what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting the capital requirements.
As of December 31, 2025, our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds required to be regarded as a well-capitalized institution, and meet all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject. There have been no events or conditions since December 31, 2025 that management believes would change the categorization. See Note 21. Regulatory Capital to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the risk- and leverage-based capital ratios and amounts for SoFi Bank and SoFi Technologies.

(1)Includes principal balance and variable interest on our revolving credit facility. The estimated interest payments assume that our borrowings under the revolving credit facility (i) remain unchanged, (ii) are held to maturity, and (iii) incur interest at the rate for standard withdrawals in effect as of December 31, 2025 through its maturity. See Note 12. Debt to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our revolving credit facility.
(2)The convertible notes will mature October 2026 and March 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Includes principal balance for the 2026 convertible notes and 2029 convertible notes, and future interest expense on our 2029 convertible notes. The estimated interest payments assume that our borrowings under the 2029 convertible notes (i) remain unchanged, (ii) are held to maturity, and (iii) incur interest at the rate in effect as of December 31, 2025 through maturity. See “Borrowings” for additional information on the provisions of our convertible notes.
(3)See Note 18. Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these financial commitments.
(4)Contractual obligations exclude residual interests classified as debt that result from transfers of assets that are accounted for as secured financings. Similarly, contractual obligations exclude securitization debt, as the maturity of the notes issued by the various trusts occurs upon either the maturity of the loan collateral or full payment of the loan collateral held in the trusts, the timing of which cannot be reasonably estimated. Additionally, our own liquidity resources are not required to make any contractual payments on these borrowings, except in limited instances associated with our guarantee arrangements. Our maturity date represents the legal maturity of the last class of maturing notes. See Note 18. Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our guarantees. Finally, contractual obligations exclude the impact of uncertain tax positions, as we are not able to reasonably estimate the timing of such future cash flows. See Note 17. Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on income taxes and unrecognized tax benefits.
Guarantees
We may require liquidity resources associated with our guarantee arrangements. As a component of our loan sale agreements, we make certain representations to third parties that purchased our previously held loans. We have a three-year obligation to GSEs on loans that we sell to GSEs, to repurchase any originated loans that do not meet certain GSE guidelines, and we are required to pay the full initial purchase price back to the GSEs. In addition, we make standard representations and warranties related to personal, student and home loan transfers, as well as limited credit-related repurchase guarantees on certain such transfers. If realized, any of the repurchases would require the use of cash. See Note 18. Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these and other guarantee obligations. We believe we have adequate liquidity to meet these expected obligations.
Factors Affecting Liquidity
The activities of our lending business are a key factor affecting our liquidity, in particular our origination volume, the holding period of our loans, loan sale execution and the timing of loan repayments. Our ability to have adequate liquidity to fund our balance sheet is impacted by our ability to access new deposits, and retain and grow existing deposits, along with our ability to access whole loan buyers, sell our loans on favorable terms, maintain adequate warehouse capacity at favorable terms, and to strategically manage our continuing financial interest in securitization-related transfers. Our ability to attract and maintain deposits can be impacted by, among other things, general economic conditions, competition from other financial services firms, idiosyncratic events and the interest rates we offer, which can impact our liquidity from deposits. In 2023, we began to provide our members with access to expanded FDIC insurance coverage through a network of participating banks in our Insured Deposit Program. We continued to have strong deposit contribution through 2025.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to execute on our strategy as it relates to the timing and pricing of capital markets transaction.
Further, future uncertainties around the demand for our personal loans, home loans and around the student loan refinance market in general, including as a result of worsening macroeconomic conditions or market disruptions, should be

considered when assessing our future liquidity and solvency prospects. In the future, our loan origination volume and our resulting loan balances, and any positive cash flows thereof, could also be lower based on strategic decisions to tighten our credit standards.
In addition to our ability to pledge unencumbered loans against available warehouse capacity, we have relationships with whole loan buyers who have historically demonstrated strong demand for our loans. Capital markets can also generate additional liquidity; however, we are required to maintain a minimum investment due to securitization risk retention rules.
We also had available borrowing capacity at the FHLBs and the discount window at the Federal Reserve Banks as a result of collateral pledged by us to such banks.
Our long-term liquidity strategy includes continuing to grow our deposit base, maintaining adequate warehouse capacity, maintaining access to debt capital markets and other sources of financing, as well as effectively managing the capital raised through debt and equity transactions. Although our goal is to increase our cash flow from operations, there can be no assurance that our future operating plans will lead to improved operating cash flows.
The FDIA and FDIC regulations generally limit the ability of an insured depository institution to accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit unless the institution’s capital category is “well capitalized” or, with the FDIC’s approval, “adequately capitalized.” See Part I, Item 1. “Government Supervision and Regulation—Brokered Deposits” for additional information. As of December 31, 2025, our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds required to be regarded as a well-capitalized institution, and meet all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject.
Other Arrangements
We enter into arrangements in which we originate loans, establish an SPE and transfer loans to the SPE, which has historically served as an important source of liquidity. We also retain the servicing rights of the underlying loans and hold additional interests in the SPE. When an SPE is determined not to be a VIE or when an SPE is determined to be a VIE but we are not the primary beneficiary, the SPE is not consolidated. In addition, a significant change to the pertinent rights of other parties or our pertinent rights, or a significant change to the ranges of possible financial performance outcomes used in our assessment of the variability of cash flows due to us, could impact the determination of whether or not a VIE is consolidated. VIE consolidation and deconsolidation may lead to increased volatility in our financial results and impact period-over-period comparability. See Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for our VIE consolidation policy.
Historically, we have established personal loan trusts and student loan trusts that were created and designed to transfer credit and interest rate risk associated with the underlying loans through the issuance of collateralized notes and residual certificates. We hold a variable interest in the trusts through our ownership of collateralized notes in the form of asset-backed bonds and residual certificates. The residual certificates absorb variability and represent the equity ownership interest in the equity portion of the personal loan and student loan trusts.
We are also the servicer for all trusts in which we hold a financial interest. As servicer, we may have the power to perform the activities which most impact the economic performance of the VIE, but since either we hold an insignificant financial interest in the trusts or rights held by other variable interest holders convey power, we are not the primary beneficiary. Further, we do not provide financial support beyond our initial equity investment, and our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with nonconsolidated VIEs is limited to that initial investment. For a more detailed discussion of nonconsolidated VIEs, including related activity during the year, see Note 7. Securitization and Variable Interest Entities to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results involve judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We regularly evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgments, particularly those that include the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments which are often about matters that are inherently uncertain. The most significant judgments, estimates and assumptions relate to the critical accounting estimates, which are discussed in detail below. We evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on

changes in market conditions or factors specific to us. See Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We use a three-level fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires us to use observable inputs when available and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or observable inputs other than quoted prices.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities for which there is little or no market data, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Instruments are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the significance of unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. Our involvement with VIEs and origination of personal loans, student loans and home loans results in Level 2 and Level 3 assumptions having a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as further discussed below. We utilize third-party valuation specialists to perform a valuation of these Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments on a monthly basis with quarterly oversight by a Valuation Committee established by the Company that comprises leaders across finance, capital markets and accounting.
Loans
We generally elect the fair value option to measure our personal loans, student loans and home loans, as we believe that fair value best reflects the expected economic performance of the loans. Home loans classified as Level 2 have observable pricing sources utilized by management. Personal loans, student loans and home loans which do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices are classified as Level 3 because the valuations utilize significant unobservable inputs.
We determine the fair value of our loans using a DCF calculation, which is a form of the income approach, while also considering market data as it becomes available. In applying the DCF methodology, we estimate the future cash flows of each loan portfolio using key loan metrics, such as term, vintage, coupon rate, coupon type and current balance, among others. The significant assumptions used in the valuation model include conditional prepayment rate, annual default rate and discount rate. The conditional prepayment rate represents the monthly annualized proportion of the principal of a pool of loans that is assumed to be paid off prematurely in each period. The annual default rate represents the annualized rate of borrowers who do not make loan payments on time. The conditional prepayment and annual default rate assumptions are determined using company-specific historical loan performance curves. The discount rate represents the weighted average rate at which the expected cash flows are discounted to arrive at the net present value of the loans. The discount rate is determined based on company-specific factors and market observations, including underlying benchmark rates, our weighted average coupon rate and expected duration of the assets, the last of which is also impacted by expected prepayment rates. We also consider the volume and terms of recent whole loan sales and securitization market pricing factors, as applicable, as indicators of loan fair values.
See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for discussion of the sensitivity of our financial instruments measured at fair value to changes in various market risks.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the fair value of an acquired business in excess of the fair value of the identified net assets acquired. As of December 31, 2025, we had goodwill of $1.4 billion, of which $1.3 billion was assigned to the Technology Platform reporting unit.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, with a recurring testing date of October 1, or whenever indicators of impairment exist. We may assess goodwill for impairment initially based on qualitative considerations, referred to as “step zero”, to determine whether conditions exist that indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If management concludes, based on its assessment of relevant events, facts and circumstances that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, then a quantitative analysis, referred to as “step one”, will be performed to determine if there is any impairment. We may alternatively elect to initially perform a quantitative assessment and bypass the qualitative assessment. Quantitative goodwill impairment assessments require a significant amount of management judgment, and a meaningful change in the forecasted future revenues and cash flows, the discount rate, and the determination of market multiples used in testing goodwill for impairment could result in a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Therefore, if the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. Our reporting units for our goodwill impairment analysis represent components of our business at one level below our operating segments.
During the third quarter of 2025, due to the continued shift in strategy to focus on potential new partners with scaled customer bases and the change in customer mix within the Technology Platform segment, management performed an interim quantitative assessment on the Galileo and Technisys reporting units as of September 1, 2025, prior to aggregating the two reporting units, to determine if there was any goodwill impairment.
As of September 1, 2025, management calculated the fair value amount of the Galileo and Technisys reporting units using an evenly weighted combination of a DCF calculation, which is a form of the income approach, and a market multiples calculation, which is a form of the market approach. The discount rates used for the Galileo and Technisys reporting units in our interim quantitative assessment were 12.9% and 19.3%, respectively. The higher discount rate for Technisys, relative to Galileo, was primarily driven by macroeconomic factors in Latin America, specifically the highly inflationary economic environment in Argentina. Additionally, management applied a terminal year long-term growth rate of 4.0% to both reporting units. As a result of this interim quantitative assessment, the fair value of the Galileo and Technisys reporting units were determined to be above their respective carrying values which resulted in no impairment at September 1, 2025. If the discount rate applied to the estimated cash flows was increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the fair value of the Galileo and Technisys reporting units would decrease or increase by approximately 4% and 3%, respectively. Similarly, if the long-term growth rate was increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the fair value of the Galileo and Technisys reporting units would increase or decrease by approximately 2% and 1%, respectively. Or, if the Company’s market capitalization was to decline due to unforeseen factors, it could impact the fair value of the respective units.
Subsequent to our September 1, 2025 interim goodwill assessment, the Company aggregated its Galileo and Technisys reporting units into a single reporting unit, Technology Platform. This update is reflective of the operational and strategic integration of these former two reporting units and is consistent with how segment management manages the business. As a result, the amount of goodwill previously assigned to Galileo and Technisys of $816.0 million and $522.6 million, respectively, was combined in the Technology Platform reporting unit ($1.3 billion).
As of its annual impairment testing date of October 1, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative “step zero” analysis for all of our reporting units. The Company evaluated events and circumstances since the last goodwill assessment date to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units were less than their respective carrying amounts. The factors evaluated included an assessment of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, key financial metrics, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, or any other specific events or changes. As a result of this assessment, we concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was below its respective carrying value as of October 1, 2025.
For all of our reporting units, management continued to monitor events and circumstances after the October 1 annual testing date and through December 31, 2025, concluding that it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was below its respective carrying value as of December 31, 2025.
Management cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the value of goodwill. We continue to monitor the aforementioned conditions, the general macroeconomic environment, including the interest rate environment, inflationary pressures, and the potential for a prolonged economic downturn or recession, as well as other factors, including those listed in "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report. Further persistence of the aforementioned conditions and these other factors could result in impairment charges in future periods.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, we are subject to a variety of market-related risks that can affect our operations and profitability. We broadly define these areas of risk as interest rate risk, credit risk, counterparty risk and operational risk. Historically, substantially all of our revenue and operating expenses were denominated in United States dollars. We may in the future be subject to increasing foreign currency exchange rate risk with our acquisition of a foreign company. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that our financial position or results of operations could be positively or negatively impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates. Exchange rate risk was not a material risk for us during the years presented.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we launched SoFi Crypto which provides our members the ability to buy, sell and hold digital assets. To facilitate these member transactions and provide liquidity for the platform, we maintain an incidental inventory of crypto assets for operational purposes, none of which are held as long-term speculative investments. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of our crypto assets held for operational purposes was immaterial to our overall consolidated financial condition.
The crypto asset market is characterized by significant price volatility and is sensitive to factors such as regulatory changes, technical developments and shifts in overall market sentiment. Historically, certain crypto assets have experienced high levels of price fluctuation, as measured by the annualized standard deviation of daily price returns. We manage our exposure to these price fluctuations through exposure monitoring and internal inventory limits. Given that our holdings are incidental, short-term in nature and immaterial, a hypothetical significant increase or decrease in the market price of crypto assets as of December 31, 2025, would not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations.
We are exposed to the risk of loss to future earnings, values or future cash flows that may result from changes in market discount rates or overall market conditions, such as instability in the banking and financial services sectors. We are subject to interest rate risk associated with our loans, securitization investments (comprised of residual investments and asset-backed bonds), servicing rights and investments in AFS debt securities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a discounted cash flow methodology in which the discount rate represents an estimate of the required rate of return by market participants. Our loans with variable interest rates are exposed to interest rate volatility, which impacts the amount of recognized interest income. Our securitization residual investments are carried at fair value, which is subject to changes in market value by virtue of the impact of interest rates on the market yield of the residual investments. The value and earnings of our asset-backed bonds, which are associated with our personal loans and student loans, have a converse relationship to the movement of interest rates. That is, as interest rates rise, bond values and earnings fall and vice versa. Additionally, we are subject to interest rate risk on our variable-rate warehouse facilities and our revolving credit facility. Market interest rates may also drive the interest we offer to members on their deposits. Future funding activities may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, as the interest rates payable on such funding may be tied to SOFR or another representative alternative reference rate. We are also exposed to market risk through our investments in equity securities, which we elect to measure using the measurement alternative method of accounting and therefore may have positive or negative adjustments that impact our results of operations resulting from observable price changes based on current market conditions.
Interest rate risk also occurs in periods where changes in short-term interest rates result in loans being originated with terms that provide a smaller interest rate spread above the financing terms of our warehouse facilities or above the interest rate we offer on deposits, which can negatively impact our realized net interest income. We manage and mitigate these risks using interest rate derivative hedges, our investment portfolio, and broader asset liability management activities. Our Corporate Treasury group, under the supervision of our ALCO and Board Risk Management committees, centrally manages our interest rate risk. Our ALCO includes leadership from Treasury, Finance, Independent Risk Management, and Business Units. ALCO is responsible for identifying key risks and exposures, establishing tolerances and limits, monitoring them appropriately, and managing these risks. Risk management activities are conducted under the oversight of respective Board Risk Management committees.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Our primary metrics for the measurement and monitoring of interest rate risk (IRR) on a company-wide basis include Net Interest Income (NII) and fair value sensitivity. Additionally, we utilize Economic Value of Equity (EVE) as a longer term metric of interest rate risk. These interest rate risk metrics are calculated for a wide range of interest rate scenarios, and risk appetite limits have been established. The interest rate risk exposures and historical trends against risk limit scenarios are reported to our ALCO and EBRC.
The NII risk metric measures the change in net interest income under an interest rate shock relative to the forecasted baseline scenario over a 12 month horizon. Our baseline forecast takes into consideration the current balance sheet, projections of future business activity, and the market expectations of benchmark interest rates. The NII metric is driven by key modeling assumptions for both assets and liabilities. For assets, key assumptions include prepayment speeds, new lending origination volumes, and new lending origination pricing. For liabilities, key assumptions include forecasted deposit balances and deposit pricing betas.
Fair value sensitivities measure the interest rate sensitivity of balance sheet assets recorded at fair value which primarily consists of loans and securitization investments. Servicing rights and AFS securities in the investment portfolio are also measured as fair value sensitivities. The fair value sensitivity reflects the change in asset price due to an interest rate shock to the underlying benchmark discount rate. Key assumptions for the fair value sensitivity include conditional prepayment rates, annual default rates, and discount rates. Please refer to the Level 3 Significant Inputs in Note 15. Fair Value Measurements to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on these assumptions.
The following tables summarize the potential effect on (i) net interest income; and (ii) the change in fair value of interest rate sensitive financial assets recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, based upon a sensitivity analysis performed by management assuming a hypothetical, immediate and parallel increase and decrease in market interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points. While a relevant measure of our interest rate exposure, this sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast of our net interest income.

Our consolidated balance sheet is liability sensitive, given that liabilities are expected to reprice faster than assets resulting in higher net interest income in decreasing interest rate scenarios. The period over period change in sensitivity reflected in the tables above are attributed to changes in balance sheet composition and asset-liability management activities.
In addition to our net interest income and fair value sensitivity analysis above, we also utilize EVE as a longer term measure of interest rate risk. EVE is a point-in-time analysis of the sensitivity of the current balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities that incorporates all cash flows over their estimated remaining lives. Due to this longer forecast, EVE only uses the current balance sheet and does not include assumptions related to future activities. Key modeling assumptions in the EVE metric include asset prepayment speeds, deposit pricing beta, and deposit decay rates.
The scenarios, methodologies and assumptions used in the IRR framework are periodically evaluated and enhanced in response to changes in the market environment, changes in our balance sheet composition, enhancements in our modeling and other factors. The identification and testing of key assumptions are influenced by market conditions and management views of key risks. IRR measurement across interest rate scenarios is driven by key modeling assumptions that influence the calculated exposures. Calibration of key assumptions is based upon a combination of factors including historical experience and

management judgment. Key modeling assumptions are subject to periodic review and validation. In addition, sensitivity testing is performed on key assumptions by increasing and decreasing the modeling inputs relative to the base value and then comparing the resulting impact to the IRR exposure. Sensitivity testing is periodically reported to ALCO.
We are subject to credit risk, which is the risk of default that results from a borrower’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required loan payments or declines in home loan collateral values. Generally, all loans sold into the secondary market are sold without recourse. For such loans, our credit risk is generally limited to repurchase obligations due to fraud or origination defects. For loans that were repurchased or not sold in the secondary market, we are subject to credit risk to the extent a borrower defaults and we are not able to fully recover the principal balance. We believe that this risk is mitigated through the implementation of robust underwriting standards, fraud detection tools and technology designed to comply with applicable laws and our standards. In addition, we believe that this risk is mitigated through the quality of our loan portfolio.
The following table summarizes the potential effect on earnings over the next 12 months and the potential effect on the fair values of our loans for which we elected the fair value option and residual investments recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 based on a sensitivity analysis performed by management assuming an immediate hypothetical change in credit loss rates by a rate of 10%. The fair value and earnings sensitivities are applied only to financial assets that existed at the balance sheet date, which included loans, investments in AFS debt securities (which had an immaterial impact from credit risk) and residual investments as of December 31, 2025. Asset-backed bonds are excluded because they are not expected to absorb the losses of the VIE based on the extent of overcollateralization and expected credit losses of the VIE. Alternatively, residual investments are subject to credit exposure, and by design this is the portion of the SPE that is expected to absorb the losses of the VIE.
The carrying value and earnings sensitivities are applied only to financial assets that existed at the balance sheet date, which included loans at amortized cost, for which we have recorded an allowance as of December 31, 2025.

We are subject to risk that arises from our debt warehouse facilities, economic hedging activities, third-party custodians, and capped call options on our common stock, as well as third-party counterparties that support transaction execution, settlement, custody or liquidity for SoFi Crypto. These activities generally involve an exchange of obligations with unaffiliated lenders or other individuals or entities, referred to in such transactions as “counterparties”. If a counterparty was to default, we could potentially be exposed to reputational damage and financial loss if such counterparty was unable to meet its obligations to us. We manage this risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple such counterparties, placing contractual limits on the amount of dependence on any single counterparty, and entering into netting agreements with the counterparties, as appropriate.
In accordance with Treasury Market Practices Group’s recommendation, we execute Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association trading agreements with all material trading partners. Each such agreement provides for an exchange of margin money should either party’s exposure exceed a predetermined contractual limit. Such margin requirements limit our overall counterparty exposure. The master netting agreements contain a legal right to offset amounts due to and from the same counterparty. Derivative assets represent derivative contracts in a gain position net of loss positions with the same counterparty and, therefore, also represent our maximum counterparty credit risk. We incurred no losses due to nonperformance by any of our counterparties during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, gross derivative asset and liability positions subject to master netting arrangements were $61.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
In the case of our loan warehouse facilities, we are subject to risk if the counterparty chooses not to renew a borrowing agreement and we are unable to obtain financing to originate loans. With our loan warehouse facilities, we seek to mitigate this risk by ensuring that we have sufficient borrowing capacity with a variety of well-established counterparties to meet our
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

funding needs. As of December 31, 2025, we had total borrowing capacity under loan warehouse facilities of $7.2 billion, of which none was utilized. Refer to Note 12. Debt to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our loan warehouse facilities.
In the case of our call options on our common stock, if the capped call counterparties, which are financial institutions and initial purchasers of our convertible notes, are unable to meet their obligations under the contract, we may not be able to mitigate the dilutive effect on our common stock upon conversions of our convertible notes or offset any potential cash payments we may be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted convertible notes. Refer to Note 13. Equity to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our capped call transactions.
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, controls, people (e.g., human error or misconduct) or systems (e.g., technology problems), business continuity or external events (e.g., natural disasters), compliance, reputational, regulatory, cybersecurity or legal matters and includes those risks as they relate directly to us, fraud losses attributed to applications and any associated fines and monetary penalties as a result, transaction processing, or employees, as well as to third parties with whom we contract or otherwise do business, including third-party service providers support digital asset trading, custody, settlement, or blockchain-based infrastructure. We rely on third-party computer systems and third-party providers to support and carry out certain functions on our platform, which are themselves susceptible to operational risk or which may rely on subcontractors to provide services to us that face similar risks. Any interruption in services or deterioration in the quality of the service or performance of such third-party systems or providers could be disruptive to our business and adversely affect our results of operations and the perception of the reliability of our networks and services and the quality of our brand. In addition, we may be subjected to member complaints, fines, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, litigation, disputes, regulatory investigations and other similar actions. We strive to manage operational risk, including operational risk associated with our reliance on third-party systems, through contractual provisions, our system design, and a robust third-party risk management process, which includes establishing policies and procedures to accomplish timely and efficient processing, obtaining periodic internal control attestations from management, conducting internal process Risk Control Self-Assessments and audit reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls. With respect to cybersecurity risk, which can also translate to financial and reputational risk, our technology and cybersecurity teams rely on a layered system of preventive and detective technologies, controls, and policies to detect, mitigate, and contain cybersecurity threats. In addition, our cybersecurity team, and the third-party consultants they engage, regularly assess our cybersecurity risks and mitigation efforts. Our operational risk, and the amount we invest in risk management, may increase as we introduce new products and product features, and as new threat actors and evolving threat vectors, such as account takeover tactics, increase and become more sophisticated. In order to be effective, among other things, our enterprise risk management capabilities must adapt and align to support any new product or loan features, capability, strategic development, or external change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SoFi Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in temporary equity and permanent equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 17, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Loans at fair value— Refer to Notes 1, 4, and 15 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company has elected the fair value option to measure certain personal and student loans, which are classified as Level 3 instruments because the valuations utilize significant unobservable inputs. The Company determines the fair value of the loans using a discounted cash flow calculation, which is a form of the income approach, while also considering market data as it becomes available. Management estimates the future cash flows of each loan portfolio using key loan metrics and significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model include conditional prepayment rate, annual default rate, and discount rate.
We identified the valuation of certain personal and student loans, as a critical audit matter because of the unobservable inputs management uses to estimate fair value. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the fair value measurement of certain personal and student loans included the following, among others:
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
•We tested the effectiveness of internal controls over the fair value of personal and student loans, including management’s controls over the evaluation of the reasonableness of unobservable inputs used in the valuation.
•We tested the completeness and accuracy of the source information derived from the Company’s loan data, which is used in the valuation model.
•We evaluated the valuation models and the related assumptions, including significant unobservable inputs.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we developed a range of independent fair value estimates of certain personal and student loans and compared our estimates to the Company’s estimates.
Goodwill — Galileo and Technisys Reporting Units - Refer to Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. As of September 1, 2025, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment (“quantitative assessment”) for its Galileo and Technisys reporting units. The Company’s quantitative assessment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) calculation, which is a form of the income approach, and a market multiples calculation, which is a form of the market approach. The determination of the fair value of a reporting unit requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted future revenues and cash flows, the discount rate, and the determination of market multiples. Changes in these assumptions or a decline in the Company’s market capitalization could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting units.
We identified the Company’s September 1, 2025 quantitative assessment of each reporting unit referred to above as a critical audit matter because of certain significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate the fair values of these reporting units. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the forecasted future revenues and cash flows, the discount rate, the determination of market multiples, and reconciliation of the Company’s market capitalization, specifically due to the sensitivity of the fair value of the reporting units to changes in the assumptions.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate the fair value of the Galileo and Technisys reporting units used in the quantitative assessment included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management's quantitative impairment assessment, including those controls related to management’s forecast of future revenues and cash flows, selection of discount rates, determination of market multiples, and reconciliation of the Company’s market capitalization.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodologies, including the Company’s market capitalization reconciliation, and the key assumptions used in the assessment, including the selection of discount rates for which we tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculation, and developed a range of independent estimates and compared those to the discount rate selected by management. For the determination of market multiples, our specialist evaluated the peer set utilized, the selection and calculation of the multiples, and weighting of the multiples.
•We evaluated management's ability to accurately forecast future revenues and cash flows by (1) understanding management’s process for developing their forecasts, and (2) comparing the forecasts to historical results, projections utilized in the prior year goodwill impairment analysis, and forecasted information included in analyst and industry reports.

Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards
Organization
SoFi is a financial services platform that was founded in 2011 to offer an innovative approach to the private student loan market by providing student loan refinancing options. The Company conducts its business through three reportable segments: Lending, Technology Platform and Financial Services. Since its founding, SoFi has expanded its lending and financial services strategy to offer personal loans, home loans and credit cards. The Company has also developed additional financial products, such as money management and investment product offerings, and has also leveraged its financial services platform to empower other businesses. The Company has continued to expand its product offerings through strategic acquisitions. During 2020, the Company expanded its investment product offerings into Hong Kong through the acquisition of 8 Limited, and also began to operate as a platform as a service for a variety of financial service providers, providing the infrastructure to facilitate core client-facing and back-end capabilities, such as account setup, account funding, direct deposit, authorizations and processing, payments functionality and check account balance features through the acquisition of Galileo Financial Technologies. During 2022, the Company became a bank holding company and began operating as SoFi Bank, National Association, through its acquisition of Golden Pacific Bancorp, Inc., and expanded its platform to include a cloud-native digital and core banking platform with customers in Latin America through its acquisition of Technisys, allowing the Company to expand its technology platform services to a broader international market. During 2023, the Company acquired Wyndham Capital Mortgage, a fintech mortgage lender. For additional information on our recent business combinations, see Note 2. Business Combinations. For additional information on our reportable segments, see Note 20. Business Segment and Geographic Information.
The Company has elected to be treated as a financial holding company pursuant to Section 4(l) of the BHCA. As a financial holding company, the Company is authorized to engage in a broader set of financial activities than a bank holding company that has not elected to be treated as a financial holding company. Financial holding companies may also engage in activities that are determined by the Federal Reserve to be complementary to financial activities.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and certain consolidated VIEs. All intercompany accounts were eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
In our consolidated financial statements, we made the following presentation changes in 2025:
•in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) beginning in the second quarter of 2025, we combined the financial statement line items for noninterest income—loan origination, sales and securitizations and noninterest income—servicing, and presented within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing.
In all instances, the respective prior period amounts were recast to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Judgments, Assumptions and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and, therefore, actual results may differ from our estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions and estimates include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) fair value measurements, (ii) business combinations, and (iii) goodwill.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
Business Combinations
We account for acquisitions of entities or asset groups that qualify as businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. Purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, which are measured in accordance with fair value measurement accounting principles. The determination of fair value requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature. The excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our results of operations beginning from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the allocation of purchase consideration and to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to the extent that additional information becomes available. After this period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Variable Interest Entities
VIEs are entities that, by design, either (a) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; or (b) have equity investors that lack any of (i) the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or (iii) the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary of a VIE (i.e., the party that has a controlling financial interest) is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The most common type of VIE with which we are involved is an SPE. SPEs are commonly used in whole loans sales and securitization transactions to isolate certain assets and distribute their related cash flows to investors. In determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact that VIE’s economic performance, we consider all the facts and circumstances, including our role in establishing the VIE and our ongoing rights and responsibilities. First, we identify the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; second, we identify which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE (such as collateral managers, servicers, or owners of call options or liquidation rights over the VIE’s assets) or have the right to unilaterally remove those decision-makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance.
In determining whether we have the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, we consider all of our economic interests, including debt and equity investments, servicing fees, and other arrangements deemed to be variable interests in the VIE. This assessment requires that we apply judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. Factors considered in assessing significance include: the design of the VIE, including its capitalization structure; subordination of interests; payment priority; relative share of interests held across various classes within the VIE’s capital structure; and the reasons for which we hold the interests.
We perform on-going reassessments to evaluate whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding each identified VIE, such as changes in the entity’s capital structure or changes in the nature of our involvement with the entity, cause a change to the VIE designation or change to our consolidation conclusion. Refer to Note 7. Securitization and Variable Interest Entities for more details regarding our consolidated VIEs.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We use a three-level fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires us to use observable inputs
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
when available and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or observable inputs other than quoted prices.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities for which there is little or no market data, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Instruments are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the significance of unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. As a result, the related gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in Note 15. Fair Value Measurements may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. We utilize third-party valuation specialists to perform a valuation of these Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments on a monthly basis with quarterly oversight by a Valuation Committee established by the Company that comprises leaders across finance, capital markets and accounting.
Transfers of Financial Assets
The transfer of an entire financial asset is accounted for as a sale if all of the following conditions are met:
•the financial asset is isolated from the transferor and its consolidated affiliates as well as its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership;
•the transferee or beneficial interest holders have the right to pledge or exchange the transferred financial asset; and
•the transferor, its consolidated affiliates and its agents do not maintain effective control over the transferred financial asset.
Loan sales are aggregated in the financial statements due to the similarity of both the loans transferred and servicing arrangements. The portion of our income relating to ongoing servicing and the fair value of our servicing rights are dependent upon the performance of the sold loans. We measure the gain or loss on the sale of financial assets as the net assets received from the sale less the carrying amount of the loans sold. The net assets received from the sale represent the fair value of any assets obtained or liabilities incurred as part of the transaction, including but not limited to cash, servicing assets, retained securitization investments and recourse obligations.
When securitizing loans, we employ a two-step transaction that includes the isolation of the underlying loans in a trust and the sale of beneficial interests in the trust to a bankruptcy-remote entity. Transfers of financial assets that do not qualify for sale accounting are reported as secured borrowings. Accordingly, the related assets remain on our consolidated balance sheets and continue to be reported and accounted for as if the transfer had not occurred. Cash proceeds received from these transfers are reported as liabilities, with related interest expense recognized over the life of the related secured borrowing.
As a component of the loan sale agreements, we make certain representations to third parties that purchase our previously-held loans, certain of which include GSE repurchase requirements and all of which are standard in nature and do not constrain our ability to recognize a sale for accounting purposes. Any significant estimated post-sale obligations or contingent obligations to the purchaser of the loans arising from these representations are accrued if probable and estimable, which approximates fair value. We establish a loan repurchase liability, which is based on historical experience and any current developments which would make it probable that we would buy back loans previously sold to third parties at the historical sales price. The loan repurchase liability is presented within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, with the corresponding charges recorded within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or within noninterest income - loan platform fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in connection with transfers of loans held for sale and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value as part of our Loan Platform Business.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily include unrestricted deposits with financial institutions in checking, money market and short-term certificate of deposit accounts and certain short-term commercial paper. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents primarily include cash deposits, certificate of deposit accounts held on reserve, money market funds held by consolidated VIEs and collection balances. These accounts are earmarked as restricted because the balances are either member balances held in our custody, cash segregated for regulatory purposes associated with brokerage activities, escrow requirements for certain debt facilities and derivative agreements, deposits required by various bank holding companies we partner with (“Member Banks”) that support one or more of our products, loan collection balances awaiting disbursement, consolidated VIE cash balances that we cannot use for general operating purposes, or other legally restricted balances.
Investments in Debt Securities
The accounting and measurement framework for our investments in debt securities is determined based on the security classification. We do not hold investments in debt securities for trading purposes, nor do we have investments in debt securities that we have the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Therefore, we classify our investments in debt securities as available-for-sale.
We record investments in AFS debt securities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses recorded, net of tax, as a component of AOCI. See Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for additional information on our fair value estimates for investments in AFS debt securities. The amortized cost basis of our investments in AFS debt securities reflects the security’s acquisition cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount, and collection of cash and charge-offs, as applicable. For purposes of determining gross realized gains and losses on AFS debt securities, the cost of securities sold is based on specific identification. We elected to present accrued interest for AFS debt securities within investment securities in the consolidated balance sheets. Purchase discounts, premiums, and other basis adjustments for investments in AFS debt securities are generally amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the security using the effective interest method. However, premiums on certain callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date. Amortization of premiums and discounts and other basis adjustments for investments in AFS debt securities, as well as interest income earned on the investments, are recognized within interest income—other, and realized gains and losses on investments in AFS debt securities are recognized within noninterest income—other in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
An investment in AFS debt security is evaluated for an impairment if its fair value is less than its amortized cost. If we determine that we have the intent to sell the impaired investment in AFS debt security, or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the impaired investment in AFS debt security before recovery of its amortized cost, we recognize the full impairment loss reflecting the difference between the amortized cost (net of any prior recognized allowance) and the fair value of the investment in AFS debt security within noninterest income—other in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If neither of the above conditions exists, we evaluate whether the impairment loss is attributable to credit-related or non-credit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit-related is recognized within other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. See the section “Allowance for Credit Losses” in this Note for the factors we consider in identifying credit-related impairment and the treatment of credit losses.
See Note 6. Investment Securities for additional information on our investments in AFS debt securities.
Securitization Investments
In Company-sponsored securitization transactions that meet the applicable criteria to be accounted for as a sale, we retain certain residual investments and asset-backed bonds (collectively, “securitization investments”) that we report within investment securities in the consolidated balance sheets. We elected the fair value option for a portion of these investments with gains and losses reported within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We account for the remaining securitization investments as AFS debt securities. See Note 7. Securitization and Variable Interest Entities for a breakout of those securitization investments for
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
which we have elected to account for as AFS debt securities. We determine the fair value of our securitization investments using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it becomes available.
Our residual investments accrete interest income over the expected life using the effective yield method, which reflects a portion of the overall fair value adjustment recorded each period on our residual investments. On a quarterly basis, we reevaluate the cash flow estimates over the life of the residual investments to determine if a change to the accretable yield is required on a prospective basis. Additionally, we record interest income associated with asset-backed bonds over the term of the underlying bond using the effective interest method on unpaid bond amounts. Interest income on residual investments and asset-backed bonds is presented within interest income—loans and securitizations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
See Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for the key inputs used in the fair value measurements of our residual investments and asset-backed bonds.
Investments in Equity Securities
Our investments in equity securities primarily consist of investments for which fair values are not readily determinable, which we elect to measure using the alternative method of accounting, under which they are measured at cost less any impairment and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuers. Our investments in equity securities are presented within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Adjustments to the carrying values of our investments in equity securities, such as impairments and unrealized gains, are recognized within noninterest income—other in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Loans
Loan Classification
We classify loans as held for sale or held for investment based on management’s assessment of its intent and ability to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity, which may change over time. A loan that is initially designated as held for sale or held for investment may be reclassified when our intent for that loan changes. The accounting and measurement framework for loans differs depending on the loan classification and whether we elect the fair value option. The presentation within the consolidated statements of cash flows is based on management’s intent at origination. Cash flows related to loans that are originated with the intent to sell are included in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows related to loans that are originated with the intent to hold for investment are included in cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our loan portfolio primarily consists of: (i) personal loans, student loans and home loans, which are measured at fair value and held for sale or held for investment, and (ii) secured loans, credit cards, and commercial and consumer banking loans, which are measured at amortized cost and held for investment. The commercial and consumer banking portfolio is primarily inclusive of commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans and residential real estate and other consumer loans.
Loans Held For Sale, at Lower of Amortized Cost or Fair Value
During 2024, we began originating personal loans on behalf of third parties as part of our Loan Platform Business. These loans are generally held for a short period of time prior to sale and are held for sale and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Direct origination fees and costs for these loans are deferred and included as part of the carrying value of the loans and, upon the sale of a loan, are recognized as part of the gain or loss included within noninterest income—loan platform fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Servicing rights recognized in connection with the sale of these loans are initially measured at fair value and recognized as a component of the gain or loss from sales of loans and the initial capitalization is reported within noninterest income—loan platform fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Subsequent measurement changes for all servicing rights, including servicing fee payments and fair value changes, are included within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
Upon sale of these loans, we establish a loan repurchase liability, which is based on historical experience and any current developments which would make it probable that we would buy back loans previously sold to third parties at the historical sales price. The loan repurchase liability is presented within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, with the corresponding charges recorded within noninterest income—loan platform fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Interest income on loans held for sale at the lower of amortized cost or fair value is accrued and recognized based on the contractual rate of interest within interest income—loans and securitizations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Loans Measured at Fair Value
We elected the fair value option to measure our personal loans, student loans and home loans, as we believe that fair value best reflects the expected economic performance of the loans. Therefore, these loans are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Loans classified as Level 2 have observable pricing sources utilized by management. Loans that do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices are classified as Level 3. We determine the fair value of our loans using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it becomes available. Personal loans and home loans are presented within loans held for sale, and student loans are presented within loans held for investment, at fair value
Direct origination fees, which primarily relate to personal and home loans, are recognized in earnings as earned and are recorded within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Direct loan origination costs are recognized in earnings as incurred and are recorded within noninterest expense—cost of operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We record the initial fair value measurement and subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the changes occur within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
We consider a loan to be delinquent when the borrower has not made the scheduled payment amount within one day after the scheduled payment date, provided the borrower is not in school or in deferment, forbearance or within an agreed-upon grace period. Loan deferment is a provision within student loan contracts that permits the borrower to defer payments while enrolled at least half time in school. During the deferment period, interest accrues on the loan balance and is capitalized to the loan when the loan enters repayment status, which begins when the student no longer qualifies for deferment.
Forbearance applies to student loans, personal loans and home loans. A borrower in repayment may generally request forbearance for reasons including a FEMA-declared disaster, unemployment, economic hardship or general economic uncertainty. Forbearance typically cannot exceed a total of 12 months over the life of the loan. If forbearance is granted, interest continues to accrue during the forbearance period and is capitalized to the loan when the borrower resumes making payments. At the conclusion of a forbearance period, the contractual monthly payment is recalculated and is generally higher as a result.
For personal loans and student loans, delinquent loans are charged off after 120 days of delinquency or on the date of confirmed loss. For home loans, delinquent loans are charged off after 180 days of delinquency or on the date of confirmed loss. For all loans, we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest on the date of charge-off. Additional information about our loans held for sale and held for investment are included in Note 4. Loans, Note 7. Securitization and Variable Interest Entities and Note 15. Fair Value Measurements.
Loans Measured at Amortized Cost
For our secured and commercial and consumer banking loans, direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the loans within interest income—loans and securitizations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2025, the remaining balance of deferred costs was immaterial.
We present accrued interest for loans measured at amortized cost within loans held for investment, at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost of these loans is subject to our allowance for credit losses methodology described within “Allowance for Credit Losses” herein. We record cash flows related to loans held for investment within cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Credit card receivables are reported at the amounts due from members, including accrued interest and fees, and unamortized net deferred loan origination fees and costs. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a 12-month period as adjustments to income through interest income—loans and securitizations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Credit card balances are reported as delinquent when they become 30 or more days past due. Credit card balances are charged off after 180 days of delinquency or on the date of the confirmed loss, at which time we stop accruing interest and fees and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest and fees through interest income as of such date. When a credit card balance is charged off, we record a reduction to the allowance and the credit card balance. When recovery payments are received against charged off credit card balances, we record a direct reduction to the provision for credit losses. Credit card receivables associated with alleged or potential third-party fraudulent transactions are charged off through noninterest expense—general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Commercial and consumer banking loans are reported as delinquent when they become 30 or more days past due. For all commercial and consumer banking loans, we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest after 90 days of delinquency. For consumer banking loans, delinquent loans are charged off after 120 days of delinquency or on the date of confirmed loss. For commercial loans, performance is monitored on an individual loan basis and delinquent loans are charged off when collectability of interest and principal on the loan is not reasonably assured.
Secured loans are term loan arrangements secured by underlying loans owned by the debtor, which were previously originated, sold and in most cases continue to be serviced by the Company. Secured loans are reported as delinquent when they become 30 or more days past due, and are charged off after 120 days of delinquency or on the date of confirmed loss.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We primarily evaluate expected credit losses under the current expected credit loss model for the following financial assets: (i) cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents, (ii) accounts receivable from contracts with customers, inclusive of servicing related receivables, (iii) loans measured at amortized cost, and (iv) investments in AFS debt securities. Our approaches to measuring the allowance for credit losses on the applicable financial assets are as follows:
Cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents: Our cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents are short-term in nature and of high credit quality; therefore, we determined that our exposure to credit losses over the life of these instruments was immaterial.
Accounts receivable from contracts with customers: Accounts receivable from contracts with customers as of the balance sheet dates, all of which are short-term in nature, are recorded at their original invoice amounts reduced by any allowance for credit losses. We assess the risk of loss for each individual customer, even when the risk is remote. Certain of our historical accounts receivable balances did not have any write-offs. We use the aging method and historical loss rates as a basis for estimating the percentage of current and delinquent accounts receivable balances that will result in credit losses. We consider whether the conditions at the measurement date and reasonable and supportable forecasts about future conditions, such as customer creditworthiness, current economic conditions, customer location, expectations of near-term economic trends and changes in customer payment terms and collection trends, warrant an adjustment to our historical loss experience. Based on this analysis, we determined that our historical loss rates remained most indicative of our lifetime expected losses. We record the provision for credit losses on accounts receivable from contracts with customers within noninterest expense—general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
When we determine that a receivable is not collectible, we write off the uncollectible amount as a reduction to both the allowance and the gross asset balance. Recoveries are recorded when received and credited to the provision for credit losses. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account receivable may result in an additional allowance for credit losses being recognized in the period in which the change occurs. See Note 5. Allowance for Credit Losses for a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses related to our accounts receivable.
Secured loans: We evaluate the credit quality of our secured loan portfolio based on the fair value of underlying collateral, which are subject to the requirements of our loan underwriting process and risk models upon origination. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis utilizing a third-party valuation specialist, whereby the fair value of underlying collateral is reassessed based on relevant information such as funded loan rates and historical loss experience, among other factors. An allowance for credit losses is required when there is an expected credit loss after considering the fair value of the

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
collateral as well as any anticipated future changes in the underlying collateral. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, based on this evaluation we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our secured loans.
Credit cards: We use statistical-based loan level models that incorporate current and historical credit performance data from both internal and external industry data. The process of estimating expected credit losses is based on an account-level PD model, a segment-level EAD model, and a portfolio-level recovery rate. In addition, the Company incorporates qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but may not be adequately represented in our quantitative methods.
The PD model estimates the likelihood of default at different points in time over the life of each loan. The PD model analyzes a wide range of borrower characteristics, including credit scores and customer behaviors such as credit limit usage, revolving vs. transactors trends, delinquency status and number of credit inquires. The EAD model estimates the balance of an account at the time of default. This includes balances less expected repayments based on historical payment and revolver behavior. A recovery rate reflecting an estimate of amounts expected to be received after default occurs is estimated separately based on historical recovery performance and applied to the final CECL calculation.
Additionally, management evaluates whether to include qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. The qualitative reserves address possible limitations within the models, such as macroeconomic conditions, regulatory requirements, emerging portfolio trends, the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due accounts, changes in underwriting or lending staff, or other management risk actions. We record the provision for credit losses on credit cards within provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). When we determine that balances are not collectible, we charge-off the uncollectible amounts as a reduction to both the allowance for credit loss and gross asset balances. Recoveries are recorded when received as a direct reduction to provision for credit losses.
We do not measure credit losses on the undrawn credit exposure, as such undrawn credit exposure is unconditionally cancellable by us. However, we include interest on credit cards in the measurement of our allowance since these loans are not written off until the loan is 180 days past due.
See Note 5. Allowance for Credit Losses for a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses related to our credit cards.
Commercial and consumer banking loans: We evaluate the credit quality of our commercial and consumer banking loan portfolio based on regulatory risk ratings. Loans are categorized into risk ratings based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The allowance for credit losses is determined at a portfolio level and estimated based on weighted average remaining maturity and annualized loss rate according to the loan’s regulatory loan type, risk rating classification and historical loss rates in the industry. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained.
See Note 5. Allowance for Credit Losses for a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses related to our commercial and consumer banking loans.
Investments in AFS debt securities: Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses in the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding adjustment to provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For certain securities that are guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or government agencies, or sovereign entities of high credit quality, we concluded that there is no risk of credit-related impairment due to the nature of the counterparties and history of no credit losses. For other investments in AFS debt securities, factors considered in evaluating credit losses include: (i) adverse conditions related to the macroeconomic environment or the industry, geographic area or financial condition of the issuer, (ii) other credit indicators of the security, such as external credit ratings, and (iii) payment structure of the security. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on impaired investments in AFS debt securities.
Servicing Rights
We enter into servicing agreements in connection with transfers of our financial assets and referral fulfillment arrangements in which we are a sub-servicer for financial assets that we do not legally own, and on a standalone basis. Under such servicing agreements, we earn servicing fees, generally expressed as a percentage of the serviced outstanding principal balance, portions of which may be subjected to subordination provisions. At the inception of each servicing relationship, we
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
determine whether we should record a servicing asset or servicing liability, measured at the fair value of the servicing right, which may be zero. We elected the fair value option to measure our servicing rights subsequent to initial recognition. We measure the initial and subsequent fair value of our servicing rights using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it becomes available. The value of the servicing rights are dependent on the performance of the underlying loans. For servicing rights retained in connection with loan transfers that do not meet the requirements for sale accounting treatment, there is no recognition of a servicing asset or liability.
Servicing rights in connection with transfers of financial assets are initially measured at fair value and recognized as a component of the gain or loss from sales of loans and the initial capitalization is reported within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For loans originated on behalf of third parties for our Loan Platform Business, servicing rights recognized as a component of the gain on sale are reported within noninterest income—loan platform fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Servicing rights assumed from third parties as referral fees for financial assets for which we are not the loan originator are initially measured at fair value and recognized within noninterest income—loan platform fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Servicing rights are measured at fair value at each subsequent reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in earnings in the period in which they occur. Subsequent measurement changes for all servicing rights, including servicing fee payments and fair value changes, are included within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For servicing rights with adequate compensation resulting in an initial and subsequent value of zero, we recognize servicing fees received during the period within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing. We elected the fair value option to measure our servicing rights to better align with the valuation of our transferred loans, which also tend to share a similar risk profile to the personal loan servicing we assume from third parties when we are not the loan originator. The loans are also impacted by similar factors, such as conditional prepayment rates and default rates. We consider the risk of the assets and the observability of inputs in determining the classes of servicing rights. We have three classes of servicing assets: personal loans, student loans and home loans.
See Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for the key inputs used in the fair value measurements of our classes of servicing rights.
Property, Equipment and Software
All property, equipment and software are initially recorded at cost, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Computer hardware, furniture and fixtures, software, buildings and finance lease ROU assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable or amortizable assets (ranging from 3 to 30 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective lease term or the estimated lives of the leasehold improvements.
Software includes both purchased and internally-developed software. Internally-developed software is capitalized when preliminary project efforts are successfully completed, and it is probable that both the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Capitalized costs consist of salaries and compensation costs (inclusive of share-based compensation) for employees, fees paid to third-party consultants who are directly involved in development efforts and costs incurred for upgrades and functionality enhancements, and are amortized over a useful life ranging from 3 to 5 years. Other costs are expensed as incurred.
See Note 9. Property, Equipment, Software and Leases for additional information on our property, equipment and software.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the fair value of an acquired business in excess of the fair value of the identified net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. Impairment of goodwill is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit that includes goodwill exceeds its fair value. We may assess goodwill for impairment initially using a qualitative approach, referred to as “step zero”, to
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
determine whether conditions exist to indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If management concludes, based on its assessment of relevant events, facts and circumstances, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, then a quantitative analysis will be performed to determine if there is any impairment. We may alternatively elect to initially perform a quantitative assessment and bypass the qualitative assessment.
A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Therefore, if the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. Our reporting units for our goodwill impairment analysis represent components of our business at one level below our operating segments. Our annual impairment testing date is October 1.
Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets include capitalized costs incurred in the development and enhancement of our software products to be sold, leased or marketed. These costs, consisting primarily of salaries and compensation costs (inclusive of share-based compensation) for employees, are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, after which the costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.
See Note 2. Business Combinations and Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further discussion of goodwill and intangible assets, including those recognized in connection with recent business combinations.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For our current office and non-office classes of operating leases, we elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components and to, instead, account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. For our current classes of finance leases, we did not elect to apply this practical expedient and, instead, separately identify and measure the non-lease components of the contracts. As an accounting policy election, we apply the short-term lease exemption practical expedient to any lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise.
Operating leases are presented within operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within property, equipment and software and finance lease liabilities are presented within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating and finance lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating and finance lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date or modification date, as appropriate, in determining the present value of lease payments.
The operating lease ROU assets are increased by any prepaid lease payments and are reduced by any unamortized lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Base rent is typically subject to rent escalations on each annual anniversary from the lease commencement dates. Lease expense for lease payments, including any step rent provisions specified in the lease agreements, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is allocated among the components of noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The finance lease ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life ranging from 5 to 7 years. Interest expense on finance leases is recognized for the difference between the present value of the lease liabilities and the scheduled lease payments within interest expense—other in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
When a lease agreement is modified, we determine if the modification grants us the right to use an additional asset that is not included in the original lease contract and if the lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional ROU asset. If both conditions are met, we account for the agreement as two separate contracts: (i) the original,
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
unmodified contract and (ii) a separate contract for the additional ROU asset. If both conditions are not met, the modification is not evaluated as a separate contract. Instead, based on the nature of the modification, we (i) reassess the lease classification on the modification date under the modified terms, and (ii) use the modified lease payments and discount rate to remeasure the lease liability and recognize any difference between the new lease liability and the old lease liability as an adjustment to the ROU asset.
See Note 9. Property, Equipment, Software and Leases for additional information on our leases.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We enter into derivative contracts to manage future loan sale execution risk. We did not elect hedge accounting, as management’s hedging intentions are to economically hedge the risk of unfavorable changes in the fair values of our personal loans, student loans and home loans. Our derivative instruments used to manage future loan sale execution risk include interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, credit derivatives and home loan pipeline hedges. We also have IRLCs, interest rate swaps and interest rate caps that are not related to future loan sale execution risk.
Changes in derivative instrument fair values are recognized in earnings as they occur. Depending on the measurement date position, derivative financial instruments are presented within other assets or accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Our derivative instruments are reported within cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Certain derivative instruments are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. Accordingly, we present our net asset or liability position by counterparty in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, since our cash collateral balances do not approximate the fair value of the derivative position, we do not offset our right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral against recognized derivative assets or liabilities.
See Note 14. Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for additional information on our derivative assets and liabilities.
Financial Guarantees
A portion of our student loans at fair value are covered by a credit default swap which meets the definition of a financial guarantee and is excluded from derivative accounting treatment because we own the underlying portfolio at inception and throughout the term and receive reimbursements based only on unpaid principal balance and only once a loan has become past due. Because the contract transfers the risk of borrower default to the counterparty, we apply the insurance contract claim method by deferring the full estimated amount of premiums paid and payable at inception. The deferred premium is estimated using a discounted cash flow model considering the expected performance of the reference portfolio and recorded within other assets and accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred premiums are amortized based on actual premiums due and recognized in noninterest expense—general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We recognize a receivable and related earnings when a loss event occurs, we have the right to submit a claim, and recovery is probable.
Loan Commitments
The Company allows applicants to lock in an interest rate on certain loans to be funded at a later time. Applicants can exit the loan origination process up until the loan funding date. SoFi’s obligation to fund the loan at the committed terms begins on the date that we extend the final loan offer to borrowers, prior to the applicant’s acceptance of the offer and the loan funding date. The student loan commitments meet the scope exception for issuers of commitments to originate non-mortgage loans. As the writer of the commitments, we elected the fair value option to measure our unfunded loan commitments to align with the measurement methodology of our originated loans. As such, our loan commitments are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Depending on the measurement date position, loan commitments are presented within other assets or accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We record the initial fair value measurement and subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the changes occur within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Loan commitments also include IRLCs, whereby we commit to interest rate terms prior to completing the origination process for home loans. IRLCs are derivative instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in fair

value are recognized within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See “Derivative Financial Instruments” in this Note for additional information on our derivative instruments.
See Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for the key inputs used in the fair value measurements of our loan commitments.
Borrowings and Financing Costs
We borrow from various financial institutions to finance our lending activities. Direct costs incurred in connection with financing, such as banker fees, origination fees and legal fees, are classified as deferred debt issuance costs. Generally, we capitalize these costs and report the amounts as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt balance, however, beginning in the third quarter of 2024, for revolving debt, the unamortized debt issuance costs are reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. For non-revolving debt, any difference between the stated principal amount of debt and the amount of cash proceeds received, net of debt issuance costs, is presented as a discount or premium. The capitalized debt issuance costs for both revolving and non-revolving debt and the original issue discount/premium on non-revolving debt are amortized into interest expense—securitizations and warehouses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the expected life of the related financing agreements using the straight-line method for revolving facilities and the effective interest method for securitization debt and our senior convertible notes, as defined and further discussed below. Remaining unamortized fees are expensed immediately upon early extinguishment of the debt. In a debt modification for revolving debt, the initial issuance costs and any additional fees incurred as a result of the modification are deferred over the term of the new agreement, if the borrowing capacity of the revolving facility is increased. In the case that a modification results in a decrease in our borrowing capacity, any fees paid to the creditor and any third-party costs incurred are considered to be associated with the new arrangement and are, therefore, deferred and amortized over the term of the new arrangement. Unamortized deferred costs relating to the old arrangement at the time of the modification are expensed immediately in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity of the old arrangement. Any remaining unamortized deferred costs relating to the old arrangement are deferred and amortized over the term of the new arrangement.
We elected the fair value option to measure certain securitization debt, with the intent to mitigate the accounting divergence between debt liabilities measured at historical cost and the corresponding loans securing these financings, which are risk-managed on a fair value basis. For securitization debt carried at fair value on a recurring basis, we record the initial fair value measurement and subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the changes occur within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We determined the fair value of the applicable securitization debt using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it becomes available. The key inputs to the calculation include the underlying contractual coupons, terms, discount rate and expectations for defaults and prepayments.
Convertible Senior Notes
In October 2021, we issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 convertible notes”), which do not bear regular interest, will mature on October 15, 2026 (unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted) and will be convertible by the noteholders beginning in April 2026 under certain circumstances. We will settle conversions of the 2026 convertible notes by paying or delivering, at our election, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, based on the applicable conversion rate(s). The 2026 convertible notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time, and from time to time, beginning on or after October 15, 2024 through the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, but excluding the redemption date, but only if certain liquidity conditions described in the indenture are satisfied and certain conditions are met with respect to the last reported sale price per share of our common stock prior to conversion. Additionally, the 2026 convertible notes may incur special interest in the event of default, or additional interest if the Company has not satisfied certain reporting conditions or the 2026 convertible notes are not otherwise freely tradable, as such term is defined in the applicable indenture. If special interest or additional interest is incurred on the 2026 convertible notes, it could require an additional use of cash. In December 2023, March 2024, and August 2024, we entered into repurchase agreements to repurchase in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 convertible notes totaling $88.0 million, $600.0 million, and $84.0 million, respectively. See Note 12. Debt for more detailed disclosure of the term and features of the 2026 convertible notes.

In March 2024, we issued $862.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 convertible notes”). The 2029 convertible notes will mature on March 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. We will settle conversion of the 2029 convertible notes by paying or delivering cash, and if applicable, shares of our common stock for the amount in excess of the cash redemption price, based on the applicable conversion rate. The 2029 convertible notes will also be redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after March 15, 2027 through the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2029 convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if certain liquidity conditions described in the indenture are satisfied and certain conditions are met with respect to the last reported sale price per share of our common stock prior to conversion. See Note 12. Debt for more detailed disclosure of the term and features of the 2029 convertible notes.
We elected to evaluate each embedded feature of the arrangement individually. We concluded that each of the conversion rights, optional redemption rights, fundamental change make-whole provision and repurchase rights did not require bifurcation as derivative instruments, which we reevaluate each reporting period. The additional interest and special interest that accrue on the notes in the event of our failure to comply with certain registration or reporting requirements are required to be bifurcated from the host contract, as the reporting requirement triggering event is not clearly and closely related to the host convertible debt contract, and therefore we measure the contingent interest feature at fair value each reporting period. The value was determined to be immaterial; therefore, we accounted for the convertible notes wholly as debt, which was recognized on the settlement date. Accordingly, we allocated all debt issuance costs to the debt instrument on the basis of materiality.
In connection with the pricing of the convertible notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions, as defined and further discussed below.
Capped Call Transactions
During 2021, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2026 capped call transactions”) with certain financial institutions (the “capped call counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2026 convertible notes. The Capped Call Transactions are net purchased call options on our own common stock. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with each of the Capped Call Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the 2026 convertible notes, and do not affect any holder’s rights under the 2026 convertible notes. Holders of the 2026 convertible notes do not have any rights with respect to the 2026 capped call transactions. As the 2026 capped call transactions are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the 2026 convertible notes, they were evaluated as freestanding instruments. We concluded that the 2026 capped call transactions meet the scope exceptions for derivative instruments, and as such, the 2026 capped call transactions meet the criteria for classification in equity and are included as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
In March 2024, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2029 capped call transactions”) with certain financial institutions (the “capped call counterparties”). The 2029 capped call transactions initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2029 convertible notes. The capped call transactions are net purchased call options on our own common stock. The 2029 capped call transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with each of the capped call counterparties, are not part of the terms of the 2029 convertible notes, and do not affect any holder’s rights under the 2029 convertible notes. Holders of the 2029 convertible notes do not have any rights with respect to the 2029 capped call transactions. As the 2029 capped call transactions are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the 2029 convertible notes, they were evaluated as freestanding instruments. We concluded that the 2029 capped call transactions meet the scope exceptions for derivative instruments, and as such, the capped call transactions meet the criteria for classification in equity and are included as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
See Note 13. Equity for additional information on the Capped Call Transactions.
Residual Interests Classified as Debt
Within consolidated securitizations, the residual interests held by third parties are presented as residual interests classified as debt in the consolidated balance sheets. We measure residual interests classified as debt at fair value on a recurring basis. We record subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the change occurs within noninterest

income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We determine the fair value of residual interests classified as debt using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it becomes available.
We recognize interest expense related to residual interests classified as debt over the expected life using the effective yield method, which reflects a portion of the overall fair value adjustment recorded each period on our residual interests classified as debt. Interest expense related to residual interests classified as debt is presented within interest expense—securitizations and warehouses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). On a quarterly basis, we reevaluate the cash flow estimates to determine if a change to the accretable yield is required on a prospective basis.
See Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for the key inputs used in the fair value measurements of residual interests classified as debt.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments
We revalue assets, liabilities, income and expense denominated in non-United States currencies into United States dollars using applicable exchange rates. For foreign subsidiaries in which the functional currency is the subsidiary’s local currency, gains and losses relating to foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets. For foreign subsidiaries in which the functional currency is the United States Dollar, gains and losses relating to foreign currency transaction adjustments are included within earnings in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Due to the highly inflationary economic environment in Argentina, we use the United States Dollar as the functional currency of our Argentinian operations. Our activities in Argentina are related to our Technology Platform segment and commenced in the first quarter of 2022 with the Technisys Merger.
Interest Income
Interest income on loans is accrued and recognized based on the contractual rate of interest within interest income—loans and securitizations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest at the time a loan charges off. Loans are returned to accrual status if the loans are brought to nondelinquent status or have performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and, in management’s judgment, will continue to make scheduled periodic principal and interest payments.
Other interest income is primarily earned on our bank balances.
Loan Origination and Sales Activities
As part of our loan sale agreements, we may retain the rights to service sold loans. We calculate a gain or loss on the sale based on the sum of the proceeds from the sale and any servicing asset or liability recognized, less the carrying value of the loans sold. Our gain or loss calculation is also inclusive of repurchase liabilities recognized at the time of sale, and is recorded within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or within noninterest income—loan platform fees in connection with transfers of loans held for sale and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value as part of our Loan Platform Business.
Revenue Recognition
In each of our revenue arrangements, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects our expected consideration in exchange for those goods or services. Our primary revenue streams for the periods presented include the following:
•Technology Products and Solutions: We earn fees for providing an integrated platform as a service for financial and non-financial institutions.
•Referrals: We earn specified referral fees in connection with referral activities we facilitate through our platform, inclusive of referral fees generated through our Loan Platform Business, for providing pre-qualified borrower referrals to a third-party partner that offer services to end users who do not use one of our product offerings and referrals of pre-qualified borrowers to a third-party partner who separately contracts with a loan originator.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

•Interchange: We earn interchange fees from debit and credit cardholder transactions conducted through payment networks.
•Brokerage: We earn fees in connection with facilitating investment-related transactions through our platform, such as brokerage transactions, share lending and exchange conversion.
See Note 3. Revenue for additional information on our revenue recognition policy within each revenue stream.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation made to employees and non-employees, including stock options, RSUs, PSUs and employee stock purchase rights granted under the Company's ESPP, is measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards.
We used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (the “Black-Scholes Model”) to estimate the grant-date fair value of stock options and employee stock purchase rights granted under the ESPP. RSUs are measured based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. We use a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the grant-date fair value of PSUs.
Compensation expense is typically recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the share-based award holder is required to perform services in exchange for the award (the vesting period) for stock options and RSUs, on an accelerated attribution basis for each vesting tranche over the respective derived service period for PSUs and over each offering period for our ESPP. Share-based compensation expense is allocated among the following categories of expenses within noninterest expense: (i) technology and product development, (ii) sales and marketing, (iii) cost of operations, and (iv) general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We recognize forfeitures and withdrawals (relevant to the ESPP) as incurred and, therefore, reverse previously recognized share-based compensation expense at the time of forfeiture and withdrawal. See Note 16. Share-Based Compensation for further discussion of share-based compensation.
Advertising, Sales and Marketing
Advertising production costs and advertising communication costs, as well as amounts paid to various affiliates to market our products, are included within noninterest expense—sales and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Advertising costs are expensed either as incurred or when the advertising takes place, depending on the nature of the advertising activity. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, advertising totaled $426,233, $321,951 and $284,176, respectively.
Expenses incurred by us related to member acquisition, including brand development, business development and direct member marketing expenses, are also presented within noninterest expense—sales and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Technology and Product Development
Expenses incurred by us related to technology, product design and implementation, which includes compensation and benefits, are classified as noninterest expense—technology and product development in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Loss Contingencies
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded in accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Such liabilities and associated expenses are recorded when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such estimates are based on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability and record an estimate in the period in which the adjustment is probable and an amount or range can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertainties of loss contingencies, estimates may be different from the actual outcomes. With respect to legal proceedings, we recognize legal fees as they are incurred within noninterest expense—general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See Note 18. Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies for discussion of contingent matters.

Restructuring
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of $948, $1,530 and $12,749, respectively, within the following categories of expenses within noninterest expense: (i) technology and product development, (ii) sales and marketing, (iii) cost of operations, and (iv) general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Restructuring charges in 2025 and 2024 were primarily related to legal entity restructuring. Restructuring charges in 2023 were associated with a reduction in headcount in the Technology Platform segment in the first quarter of 2023, as well as expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to a reduction in headcount across the Financial Services, Lending and corporate functions, which primarily included employee-related wages, benefits and severance.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management reviews all available positive and negative evidence. Generally, the weight we give to any particular factor is dependent upon the degree to which it can be objectively verified. As a result, we give greater weight to the recent cumulative income of a relevant jurisdiction than other more subjective factors. Valuation allowances are recorded if, in management’s judgment, it is determined that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the tax position would more likely than not be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the tax position. Management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all jurisdictions. We accrue tax penalties and interest, if any, as incurred and recognize them within income tax (expense) benefit in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Related Parties
We define related parties as members of our Board of Directors, entity affiliates, executive officers and principal owners of our outstanding stock and members of their immediate families. Related parties also include any other person or entity with significant influence over our management or operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU improves income tax disclosures primarily related to enhancements of the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard effective for the reporting periods noted above on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, but resulted in enhancements to our income tax disclosures. See Note 17. Income Taxes for further information.
Crypto-Assets
On December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60). ASU 2023-08 amends ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, to provide guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of crypto assets and requires that the Company (i) subsequently remeasure crypto assets at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and record gains and losses from remeasurement in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss); (ii) present crypto assets separate from other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets; (iii) present the gains and losses from remeasurement of crypto assets separately in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss); and (iv) provide specific disclosures for crypto assets.
SoFi Technologies, Inc.

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted, and a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earning as of the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity adopts the amendment.
We adopted this standard during the fourth quarter of 2025 concurrent with SoFi Bank’s launch of SoFi Crypto, which provides our members the ability to buy, sell and hold digital assets. To facilitate these member transactions and provide liquidity for the platform, we maintain an incidental inventory of crypto assets for operational purposes, none of which are held as long-term speculative investments and are immaterial. As a result, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements presented.
Safeguarding Crypto-Assets
In January 2025, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122 (“SAB 122”), which rescinds the interpretive guidance provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (“SAB 121”) for reporting entities that have an obligation to safeguard customers' crypto assets. Under SAB 121, entities were required to recognize both a liability and a corresponding asset for their safeguarding obligations. With the new guidance, an entity that has a safeguarding obligation should assess whether it has any loss contingencies under ASC 450, Contingencies. SAB 122 must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual financial statement period filed with the SEC on or after January 30, 2025.
We adopted this standard during the fourth quarter of 2025 on a retrospective basis, concurrent with SoFi Bank’s launch of SoFi Crypto, which gives members the ability to buy, sell and hold digital assets. We had previously exited a similar crypto business in the first quarter of 2024, in connection with our approval as a bank holding company by the Federal Reserve. As a result of the adoption of SAB 122, we will not recognize a liability or a corresponding asset for safeguarding obligations for the periods presented.
We also considered whether a liability representing anticipated losses from crypto assets which we hold in custody (i.e. off balance sheet) on behalf of users should be recognized under the ASC 450-20 Loss Contingencies framework. As of December 31, 2025, the likelihood of loss from crypto assets which we held in custody on behalf of users was remote; as such, no liability was recorded on our consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Standards Issued, But Not Yet Adopted
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) — Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires the disclosure of additional information about specific costs and expense categories in the notes to financial statements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures.
Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)—Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. The ASU clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The standard may be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU provides an optional practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The standard is effective for

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The standard should be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)—Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU amendments modernize guidance to consider different methods of software development, updating the requirements for capitalization of software costs. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The standard can be applied on a prospective, modified transition or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Business Combinations
Acquisition of Golden Pacific Bancorp, Inc.
On February 2, 2022, we acquired Golden Pacific, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 8, 2021 by and among the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Golden Pacific. In the business combination, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Golden Pacific for total cash purchase consideration of $22.3 million (the “Bank Merger”). The acquisition was not determined to be a significant acquisition. After closing the Bank Merger, we became a bank holding company and Golden Pacific began operating as SoFi Bank.
The closing of the Bank Merger was subject to regulatory approval. On January 18, 2022, we received approval from the Federal Reserve of our application to become a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act, and we received conditional approval from the OCC to close the Bank Merger. The OCC also approved our application to change the composition of Golden Pacific’s assets in connection with the Bank Merger. The OCC conditional approval imposed a number of conditions, including that SoFi Bank have initial paid-in capital of no less than $750 million and adhere to an operating agreement. Golden Pacific’s community bank business continues to operate as a division of SoFi Bank.
We held back a $3.3 million payable to a dissenting Golden Pacific shareholder pending resolution of the shareholder’s dissenter’s rights appraisal claim. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the appraisal claim was settled and payment was released.
Acquisition of Technisys S.A.
On March 3, 2022, we acquired Technisys S.A., a Luxembourg société anonyme, (“Technisys”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 19, 2022 and amended as of March 3, 2022, by and among the Company, Technisys, Atom New Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Atom, and Atom Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SoFi Technologies (the “Technisys Merger”). In the business combination, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Technisys for a total purchase consideration of $913.8 million.
We settled vested employee performance awards, which were a component of the purchase consideration above, with payments during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 of $19,656 and $17,641, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we released 6,259,736 escrow shares during the second and fourth quarters of 2023. The remaining 45,859 shares continued to be held in escrow as of December 31, 2025 pending resolution of outstanding indemnification claims by SoFi. These claims were resolved and all shares were released in January 2026.
Acquisition of Wyndham Capital Mortgage
On April 3, 2023, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Wyndham for cash consideration. With the acquisition of Wyndham, a fintech mortgage lender, we broadened our suite of home loan products and now manage the technology for a digitized mortgage experience. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which was expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value estimates were subject to change for

up to one year after the acquisition date as additional information became available. The acquisition was not determined to be a significant acquisition.
In each of our revenue arrangements, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects our expected consideration in exchange for those goods or services.
Technology Products and Solutions
We earn fees for providing an integrated technology platform as a service for financial and non-financial institutions. Our single performance obligation is the promise to stand ready to provide integrated technology platform services as needed throughout the contract term. The integrated technology platform service fees are determined based on the number of accounts supported on the platform and on the volume of transactions generated on the platform. We satisfy our performance obligation continuously throughout the contractual arrangements and our customers receive and consume the benefits simultaneously as we perform. Our integrated technology platform as a service is a stand-ready obligation, as we provide the service regardless of the timing and quantity of accounts on the platform and transactions generated on the platform. Under this stand-ready obligation, our performance obligation is satisfied over time throughout the contract term rather than at a point in time. The service of standing ready to fulfill our integrated platform as a service offering is substantially the same each day and has the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Therefore, we determined that our stand-ready performance obligation comprises a series of distinct days of service. We are the principal in our integrated technology platform services arrangements as we control the service of completing transactions on the platform.
We earn fees for providing software licenses and associated services, including implementation and maintenance, related to our cloud-native digital and core banking platform. We charge a recurring fee for the software license and related maintenance services. Other software-related services are billed on a periodic basis as the services are provided.
The Company’s software license arrangements provide the customer with the right to use functional intellectual property for the duration of the contract term. We recognize revenue related to software licenses at a point in time upon delivery of the license and the close of the user-acceptance testing period. When implementation services are distinct, we recognize revenue over time during the implementation period. We recognize maintenance services ratably over the contractual maintenance term.
We allocate fees charged for software licenses and associated services to our performance obligations on the basis of the relative standalone selling price using observable standalone selling prices and the adjusted market assessment approach. The standalone selling prices either represent the prices at which we separately sell each license or service or are estimated using available information, such as market conditions and internal pricing policies. The standalone selling price of the software license and related maintenance are determined based on the value relationship for these products as well as the term of the software license.
Referrals
We earn specified referral fees in connection with certain referral activities we facilitate through our platform. In one type of referral arrangement, we refer end users through our platform to third-party enterprise partners. Our referral fee is calculated as either a fixed price per successful referral or a percentage of the transaction volume between the enterprise partners and referred consumers. In another type of referral arrangement, we earn referral fulfillment fees for providing pre-qualified borrower referrals to a third-party partner who separately contracts with a loan originator. Our referral fees are based on the referred loan amount, subject to a referral fulfillment fee penalty if a loan is determined to be ineligible and becomes a charged-off loan as defined in the contract. We recognize revenue upon origination for each referred loan, less the estimated referral fulfillment fee penalty. The estimated referral fulfillment fee penalty was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Interchange
We earn interchange fees from debit and credit cardholder transactions conducted through payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized

daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Interchange is presented net of cardholder rewards associated with card transactions.
Costs of Obtaining Contracts with Customers
We capitalize incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, which are certain commissions paid to third-parties in connection with the acquisition of member accounts. Capitalized costs are amortized over the life of the account. We elected the practical expedient to expense the incremental costs of obtaining a contract when the amortization period is one year or less. The expense is reported in noninterest expense—sales and marketing on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Brokerage
We earn fees in connection with facilitating investment-related transactions through our platform, which we refer to as brokerage revenue. Our brokerage revenue performance obligation is generally completely satisfied upon the completion of an investment-related transaction. In general, we act as the agent in these arrangements as we do not oversee the execution of the transactions and ultimately lack the requisite control.
Disaggregated Revenue
The table below presents revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of service, which best depicts how the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors, and by the reportable segment to which each revenue stream relates, as well as a reconciliation of total revenue from contracts with customers to total noninterest income.

Loans Measured at Fair Value
The following table summarizes the aggregate fair value of our loans for which we elected the fair value option. See Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for the assumptions used in our fair value model.

_____________________(1) Each component of the fair value of loans is impacted by charge-offs during the period. Our fair value assumption for annual default rate incorporates fair value markdowns on loans beginning when they are 10 days or more delinquent, with additional markdowns at 30, 60 and 90 days past due.
The following table summarizes the aggregate fair value of loans 90 days or more delinquent. As delinquent personal loans and student loans are charged off after 120 days of delinquency, amounts presented below represent the fair value of loans that are 90 to 120 days delinquent.

__________________
(1) Our fair value assumption for annual default rate incorporates fair value markdowns on loans beginning when they are 10 days or more delinquent, with additional markdowns at 30, 60 and 90 days past due. We record the initial fair value measurement and subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the changes occur within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As such, the $100 million fair value adjustment as of December 31, 2025 has been recorded in noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the respective periods in which 10, 30, 60, and 90 days of delinquency occurred. See Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards for further discussion of the policies for determining the fair value of our loan portfolios.
(2) The fair value incorporates the expected price to be paid by buyers of these delinquent loans after charge-off occurs, implying that potential recoveries are expected to be in excess of these levels based on consistent demonstrated recoverability after a loan becomes delinquent and gets charged off.
Transfers of Financial Assets
We regularly transfer financial assets and account for such transfers as either sales or secured borrowings depending on the facts and circumstances of the transfer. When a transfer of financial assets qualifies as a sale, in many instances we have continuing involvement as the servicer of those financial assets. As we expect the benefits of servicing to be more than just
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
adequate, we recognize a servicing asset. Further, in the case of securitization-related transfers that qualify as sales, we have additional continuing involvement as an investor, albeit at insignificant levels relative to the expected gains and losses of the securitization. In instances where a transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing, we perform servicing (but we do not recognize a servicing asset) and typically maintain a significant investment relative to the expected gains and losses of the securitization. In whole loan sales, we do not have a residual financial interest in the loans, nor do we have any other power over the loans that would constrain us from recognizing a sale. Additionally, we generally have no repurchase requirements related to transfers of personal loans, student loans and non-GSE home loans other than standard origination representations and warranties, for which we record a liability based on expected repurchase obligations. For GSE home loans, we have customary GSE repurchase requirements, which do not constrain sale treatment but result in a liability for the expected repurchase requirement.
The following table summarizes our loan securitization transfers, other than those related to our Loan Platform Business, that qualified for sale accounting treatment. There were no such loan securitization transfers qualifying for sale accounting treatment during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Deconsolidation of debt reflects the impacts of previously consolidated VIEs that became deconsolidated during the period because we no longer hold a significant financial interest in the underlying securitization entity, which can fluctuate from period to period. Gains and losses on deconsolidations are presented within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we had deconsolidation of debt on personal loans of $13.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we had deconsolidation of debt on student loans of $98.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we had deconsolidation of debt on student loans of $100.3 million. For all periods, the impact on earnings from these deconsolidations was immaterial.

These loans were sold prior to charge-off during the respective periods and otherwise would have been charged off as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, consistent with our policy. In our other charged off whole loan sales, we typically do not retain servicing or recoveries.

Credit Quality Indicators
Credit Card
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of our credit card portfolio (excluding accrued interest and before the allowance for credit losses) based on FICO scores, which are obtained at origination of the account and are refreshed monthly thereafter. The pools estimate the likelihood of borrowers with similar FICO scores to pay credit obligations based on aggregate credit performance data.

Commercial and Consumer Banking
We analyze loans in our commercial and consumer banking portfolio by classification based on their associated credit risk, and perform an analysis on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. Risk rating classifications are further described below. Loans with a lower expectation of credit losses are classified as Pass, while loans with a higher expectation of credit losses are classified as Substandard.
•Pass — Loans that management believes will fully repay in accordance with the contractual loan terms.
•Watch — Loans that management believes will fully repay in accordance with the contractual loan terms, but for which certain credit attributes have changed from origination and warrant further monitoring.
•Special mention — Loans with a potential weakness or weaknesses that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or our credit position at some future date.
•Substandard — Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the full repayment. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Secured Loans
The amortized cost basis (excluding accrued interest) of our secured loans were $872.3 million and $804.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Secured loans are term loan arrangements secured by underlying loans owned by the debtor, which were previously originated, sold and in most cases continue to be serviced by the Company. The borrowers of our secured loans are generally financial institutions, and the underlying collateral are personal loans originated by the Company. The duration of these secured loans align with the underlying collateral, the majority of which have a term of 7 years or less. Our secured loans were originated in 2023, 2024 and 2025 are all current and there have been no charge-offs since origination.
We evaluate the credit quality of our secured loan portfolio relative to the fair value of the underlying collateral, reassessing it quarterly based on relevant information, including funded loan rates and historical loss experience. An allowance for credit losses is required when there is an expected credit loss after considering the fair value of the collateral as well as any anticipated future changes in the underlying collateral. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, based on this evaluation we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our secured loans.
Note 5. Allowance for Credit Losses Our allowance for credit losses represents our current estimate of expected credit losses over the remaining contractual life of certain financial assets, including credit cards as well as commercial and consumer banking loans, which relate to our Financial Services segment, and accounts receivables primarily related to our Technology Platform segment. Given our methods of collecting funds on servicing receivables, our historical experience of infrequent write-offs, and that we have not observed meaningful changes in our counterparties’ abilities to pay, we determined that the future exposure to credit losses on servicing related receivables was immaterial.

(1) As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we concluded that there was no credit loss attributable to securities in unrealized loss positions, as (i) approximately 99% and 100% of the amortized cost basis of our investments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was composed of U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities, which are of high credit quality and have no risk of credit-related impairment due to the nature of the counterparties and history of no credit losses, and (ii) we have not identified factors indicating credit-related impairment for the remaining investments and expect that the contractual principal and interest payments will be received. Additionally, we do not intend to sell the securities in loss positions nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis.

Gross realized gains on our investments in AFS debt securities were $7.2 million, $4.2 million, and $3.4 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Gross realized losses on our investments in AFS debt securities were $0.4 million, $0.7 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers between classifications of our investments in AFS debt securities. See Note 13. Equity for unrealized gains and losses on our investments in AFS debt securities and amounts reclassified out of AOCI.
Note 7. Securitization and Variable Interest Entities Consolidated VIEs
We consolidate certain securitization trusts in which we have a variable interest and are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Our consolidation policy is further discussed in Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards.
The VIEs are SPEs with portfolio loans securing debt obligations. The SPEs were created and designed to transfer credit and interest rate risk associated with consumer loans through the issuance of collateralized notes and trust certificates. We make standard representations and warranties to repurchase or replace qualified portfolio loans. Aside from these representations, the holders of the asset-backed debt obligations have no recourse to the Company if the cash flows from the underlying portfolio loans securing such debt obligations are not sufficient to pay all principal and interest on the asset-backed debt obligations. We hold a significant interest in these financing transactions through our ownership of a portion of the residual interest in certain VIEs. In addition, in some cases, we invest in the debt obligations issued by the VIE. Our investments in consolidated VIEs eliminate in consolidation. The residual interest is the first VIE interest to absorb losses should the loans securing the debt obligations not provide adequate cash flows to satisfy more senior claims and is the interest that we expect to absorb the expected gains and losses of the VIE. Our maximum exposure to credit risk in sponsoring SPEs is limited to our investment in the VIE. VIE creditors have no recourse against our general credit. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments that may affect the fair value or risk of our variable interests in consolidated VIEs.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had one and four consolidated VIEs, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we exercised a securitization clean up call related to three consolidated VIEs. The assets of consolidated VIEs that were included in our consolidated balance sheets may only be used to settle obligations of consolidated VIEs and were in excess of those obligations as of December 31, 2025, and 2024. Intercompany balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

Nonconsolidated VIEs
We have created and designed personal loan and student loan trusts to transfer associated credit and interest rate risk associated with the loans through the issuance of collateralized notes and residual certificates. We have a variable interest in the nonconsolidated loan trusts through our ownership of collateralized notes in the form of asset-backed bonds and residual certificates in the loan trusts that absorb variability. We have also transferred secured loans and personal loans, including the associated risks, to other SPEs that are considered VIEs. In both the loan trusts and other VIEs, we have continuing, non-controlling involvement with the entity as the servicer. When our servicing rights meet the definition of a variable interest, in that role, we may have the power to perform the activities which most impact the economic performance of the VIE, but since either we hold an insignificant financial interest in the trusts or rights held by other variable interest holders convey power, we are not the primary beneficiary. In loan trusts, our collateralized notes and residual certificates represent the equity ownership interest in the loan trusts, wherein there is an obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from residual certificate ownership. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with the nonconsolidated loan trust VIEs is limited to our investment. In other VIEs, our interest is represented by secured loans, servicing rights, or both, with our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the total amount of our secured loans and servicing rights. We did not provide financial support to any nonconsolidated VIEs beyond our initial equity investment. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments by third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of our variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs.
As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had investments in 22 and 23 nonconsolidated VIEs, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we established four nonconsolidated trusts and called five nonconsolidated trusts.
The following table presents the carrying value of Company assets associated with these nonconsolidated VIEs as of the dates presented.

Low Income Housing Tax Credit Investments
In addition to the nonconsolidated VIEs noted above, the Company also makes equity investments as a limited partner in various entities that sponsor affordable housing projects that qualify for the LIHTC program. The purpose of these

investments is not only to support the Company’s community reinvestment initiatives, but also to provide an investment return, primarily through the realization of tax benefits. Each of these entities is managed by an unrelated third-party general partner or managing member that has the power to direct the activities which most significantly affect the performance of each entity. Therefore, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of these LIHTC entities and accordingly, does not consolidate the VIEs.
The Company's funding requirements are limited to its invested capital and any additional unfunded commitments for future equity contributions. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement is limited to the carrying amounts of the investments, including the unfunded commitments, which are included in other assets and accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. Our investments were $53.5 million and $12.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The unfunded commitments, included as part of our investments, were $47.2 million and $11.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the majority of which are expected to be funded over the next 3 years.
The Company accounts for its LIHTC investments under the proportional amortization method. Under this method, the Company amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance as a component of income tax expense.
The related tax credits and other benefits recognized, as well as the amortization of the related investments were $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The related tax credits and other benefits recognized, as well as the amortization of the related investments were immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Leases and Occupancy
Leases
We primarily lease our office premises under multi-year, non-cancelable operating leases. Our operating leases have terms expiring from 2026 to 2040, exclusive of renewal option periods. Our office leases contain renewal option periods ranging from one to ten years from the expiration dates. These options were not recognized as part of our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, as we did not conclude at the commencement date of the leases that we were reasonably certain to exercise these options. However, in our normal course of business, we expect our office leases to be renewed, amended or replaced by other leases. Our finance leases have terms expiring from 2029 to 2040.
Our operating and finance leases include leases associated with various naming and sponsorship rights agreements that commenced in September 2020 and December 2024.

Operating leases that commenced in September 2020 included our rights to use two multi-purpose stadium suites, for which we elected the practical expedient to not bifurcate the lease component from the non-lease components, and our rights to certain event space within the stadium and performance venue on a rent-free basis, for which we applied the short-term lease exemption practical expedient. Finance leases that commenced in September 2020 included our rights to certain physical signage within the stadium. The agreement associated with the shopping district commenced in 2023. We bifurcated lease components from non-lease components of certain of the arrangements, the latter of which represent sponsorship and advertising opportunities rather than the rights to physical assets that we control.
Operating leases that commenced in December 2024 included our rights to one multi-purpose suite and use of certain event space within the facility, for which we elected the practical expedient to not bifurcate the lease component from the non-lease components. Finance leases that commenced in December 2024 included our rights to certain physical signage within the facility. We bifurcated lease components from non-lease components of certain of the arrangements, the latter of which represent sponsorship and advertising opportunities rather than the rights to physical assets that we control.
We recognize the non-lease components within noninterest expense—sales and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(1)As of December 31, 2025, represents the total of the unpaid principal balances within each debt category, with the exception of the risk retention warehouse facilities, which include securitization-related investments carried at fair value. In addition, certain securitization interests that eliminate in consolidation are pledged to risk retention warehouse facilities. Collateral balances relative to debt balances may vary period to period due to the timing of the next scheduled payment to the warehouse facility.
(2)For variable-rate debt, the ranges of stated interest rates are based on the interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2025. The interest on our variable-rate debt is typically designed as a reference rate plus a spread. Reference rates as of December 31, 2025 included overnight SOFR, one-month SOFR and commercial paper rates determined by the facility lenders. As debt arrangements are renewed, the reference rate and/or spread are subject to change. Unused commitment fees ranging from 0 to 50 bps on our various warehouse facilities are recognized within noninterest expense—general and administrative in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
(3)Weighted average effective interest rates are calculated based on the interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2025 and include the amortization of debt issuance costs.
(4)For securitization debt, the maturity of the notes issued by the various trusts occurs upon either the maturity of the loan collateral or full payment of the loan collateral held in the trusts. Our maturity date represents the legal maturity of the last class of maturing notes. Securitization debt matures as loan collateral payments are made.
(5)There were no debt discounts issued during the year ended December 31, 2025.
(6)For risk retention warehouse facilities, we only state capacity amounts for facilities wherein we can pledge additional asset-backed bonds and residual investments as of the balance sheet date.
(7)As of December 31, 2025, $11.4 million of the revolving credit facility total capacity was not available for general borrowing purposes because it was utilized to secure letters of credit. Refer to our letter of credit disclosures in Note 18. Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies for more details. Additionally, the interest rate presented is the interest rate on standard withdrawals on our revolving credit facility, while same-day withdrawals incur interest based on the prime rate.
(8)The original issue discount and debt issuance costs related to the convertible senior notes due 2026 are amortized into interest expense—corporate borrowings in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the notes. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, total interest expense on the convertible notes was $1.8 million, $2.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and the effective interest rate was 0.43%, 0.43% and 0.43%, respectively. For all periods, interest expense was related to

amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, unamortized debt discount and issuance costs were $1.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount was $426.6 million and $424.7 million, respectively.
(9)The original issue discount and debt issuance costs related to the convertible senior notes due 2029 are amortized into interest expense—corporate borrowings in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the notes. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, total interest expense on the convertible notes was $15.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively, which was composed of $10.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively, of contractual interest expense, and $4.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of amortization of discounts and issuance costs; and the effective interest rate was 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, unamortized debt discount and issuance costs were $14.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount was $848.5 million and $844.2 million, respectively.

Refer to our letter of credit disclosures in Note 18. Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies for more details. Also includes unsecured available borrowing capacity of $50.0 million with correspondent banks.

Convertible Senior Notes
Convertible Senior Notes, Due 2026
In October 2021, we issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible notes, pursuant to an indenture, dated October 4, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (“2026 convertible notes”). The 2026 convertible notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. The 2026 convertible notes do not bear regular interest. The 2026 convertible notes will mature on October 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
The net proceeds from the offering were $1.176 billion, after deducting the 2% initial purchasers’ discount of $24 million, and before the cost of the Capped Call Transactions, as described below, and offering expenses payable by the Company. The debt issuance costs of $1.7 million included third-party legal and accounting fees. The original issue discount and debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense—corporate borrowings in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the convertible notes.
In December 2023, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated repurchase agreements with a limited number of holders of the 2026 convertible notes to repurchase $88.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 convertible notes, which were settled through the issuance of 9,490,000 shares of common stock.
In March 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated repurchase agreements with a limited number of holders of the 2026 convertible notes to repurchase $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 convertible notes, which were settled through the issuance of 72,621,879 shares of common stock. In August 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated repurchase agreements with a limited number of holders of the 2026 convertible notes to repurchase $84.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 convertible notes, which were settled through the issuance of 10,591,795 shares of common stock. Following these repurchases, $428.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 convertible notes remain outstanding.
These transactions were determined to be an extinguishment of debt. The difference between the consideration used to repurchase the convertible notes and the carrying value of the convertible notes, less retirement of discount and issuance costs, resulted in a gain on extinguishment of $62.5 million and $14.6 million recorded within noninterest income—other in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
We used a portion of the net proceeds from the October 2021 offering to fund the cost of entering into the 2026 capped call transactions. In connection with the March 2024 repurchase agreements, the Company entered into unwind agreements to terminate a portion of the 2026 capped call transactions. Refer to Note 13. Equity for additional detail.
As of December 31, 2025, the 2026 convertible notes are potentially convertible into 19,096,202 shares of common stock.

Conversion
The convertible notes are convertible by the noteholders prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 15, 2026 if certain conditions related to the notes trading price or Company’s share price are met, there are certain corporate events or distributions of the Company’s stock, or the Company calls the notes for redemption, each as set forth in the indenture. On and after April 15, 2026 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the convertible notes are freely convertible by the noteholders. The conversion rate is 44.6150 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $22.41 per share of our common stock.
Settlement
We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, at our election, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, based on the applicable conversion rate(s). If we elect to deliver cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, then the consideration due upon conversion will be determined over an observation period consisting of 30 “VWAP Trading Days” (as defined in the indenture). The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
Redemption
The convertible notes will also be redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after October 15, 2024 through the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if certain liquidity conditions described in the indenture are satisfied and certain conditions are met with respect to the last reported sale price per share of our common stock prior to conversion. In addition, calling any note for redemption will also constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
Convertible Senior Notes, Due 2029
In March 2024, we issued $862.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes, pursuant to an indenture, dated March 8, 2024, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (“2029 convertible notes”). The 2029 convertible notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. The 2029 convertible notes will pay interest at a rate of 1.25%, payable semi-annually beginning in September 2024. The 2029 convertible notes will mature on March 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
The net proceeds from the offering were $845.3 million, after deducting the 2% initial purchasers’ discount of $17.3 million, and before the cost of the 2029 capped call transactions, as described below, and offering expenses payable by the Company. The debt issuance costs of $4.6 million included third-party legal and accounting fees. The original issue discount and debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense—corporate borrowings in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the 2029 convertible notes.
We used a portion of the net proceeds from the March 2024 offering to fund the cost of entering into 2029 capped call transactions, as described in Note 13. Equity. The remainder of the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, were used (i) to pay expenses relating to this offering, (ii) to redeem Series 1 Preferred Stock and (iii) for general corporate purposes.
Conversion
The 2029 convertible notes are convertible by the noteholders prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2028 if certain conditions related to the notes trading price or Company’s share price are met, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions of the Company’s stock, or the Company calls the notes for redemption, each as set forth in the indenture. On and after September 15, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the 2029 convertible notes are freely convertible by the

noteholders. The conversion rate is 105.8089 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 convertible notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $9.45 per share of our common stock.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, a conditional conversion feature of the 2029 convertible notes was met. Specifically, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock was more than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days. As a result of this condition being met, the 2029 convertible notes are convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders from January 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026. Through February 17, 2026, no holder has elected to convert their notes. Whether the 2029 convertible notes will be convertible following March 31, 2026 will depend on the continued satisfaction of this conversion condition or another conversion condition in the future.
Settlement
We will settle conversions of the 2029 convertible notes by paying or delivering cash, and if applicable, shares of our common stock for the amount in excess of the cash redemption price, based on the applicable conversion rate. Consideration due upon conversion will be determined over an observation period consisting of 30 “VWAP Trading Days” (as defined in the indenture). The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
Redemption
The 2029 convertible notes will also be redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after March 15, 2027 through the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2029 convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if certain liquidity conditions described in the indenture are satisfied and certain conditions are met with respect to the last reported sale price per share of our common stock prior to conversion. In addition, calling any note for redemption will also constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that 2029 convertible note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that 2029 convertible note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
See Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards for our accounting policy as it relates to the convertible notes.
Material Changes to Debt Arrangements
On April 28, 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (“Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the Revolving Credit Agreement (“Original Credit Agreement”), dated as of September 27, 2018, among Social Finance, Inc., the lenders party thereto, the issuing banks party thereto and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the initial aggregate commitment to $645 million, (ii) extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to the date that is five years after the closing date, (iii) change the borrower entity under the revolving credit facility to SoFi Technologies, Inc., (iv) replace LIBOR as the term benchmark rate applicable to revolving loans denominated in U.S. dollars with a benchmark rate equal to Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, and (v) effect certain other changes. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and to meet certain risk-based capital ratios and a leverage ratio.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we opened one warehouse facility with a capacity of $450.0 million. We closed two warehouse facilities with an aggregate maximum available capacity of $250.0 million, closed one risk retention facility, and one warehouse facility matured.
Our warehouse and securitization debt is secured by a continuing lien and security interest in the loans financed by the proceeds. Within each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain operating and financial covenants. These financial covenants include, but are not limited to, maintaining: (i) a certain minimum tangible net worth, (ii) minimum unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, (iii) a maximum leverage ratio of total debt to tangible net worth, and (iv) minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios. Our debt covenants can lead to restricted cash classifications in our consolidated balance sheets. Our

subsidiaries are restricted in the amount that can be distributed to the parent company only to the extent that such distributions would cause the financial covenants to not be met. We were in compliance with all financial covenants.
We act as a guarantor for our wholly-owned subsidiaries in several arrangements in the case of default. As of December 31, 2025, we have not identified any risks of nonpayment by our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Maturities of Borrowings
Future maturities of our outstanding debt with scheduled payments, which included our revolving credit facility and convertible notes, were as follows:

Temporary Equity
Pursuant to SoFi Technologies’ Certificate of Incorporation dated May 28, 2021, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share (“SoFi Technologies Preferred Stock”) and 100,000,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock having a par value of $0.0000025 per share (“SoFi Technologies Redeemable Preferred Stock”). The Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to issue SoFi Technologies Preferred Stock and SoFi Technologies Redeemable Preferred Stock and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares. The authorized shares of SoFi Technologies Redeemable Preferred Stock is inclusive of 4,500,000 shares of Series 1 redeemable preferred stock (“Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock”), which reflect the conversion on a one-for-one basis of shares of Social Finance Series 1 preferred stock in conjunction with the Business Combination. Shares of SoFi Technologies Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock that are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company will be canceled and may not be reissued by the Company. The Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock remained classified as temporary equity through redemption in May 2024 because the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock was not fully controlled by the issuer, SoFi Technologies.
In May 2024, the Company redeemed all of the 3,234,000 shares of Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding for a total redemption price of $339,903 or $105.1027 per share, subsequent to which the Company had no Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding. The total redemption price included: (i) a reduction to redeemable preferred stock of $320,374 for the carrying value of redeemable preferred stock at the time of exercise, (ii) a reduction to additional paid-in capital of $3,026 for the amount paid upon redemption over the carrying value of the redeemable preferred stock, and (iii) payment for accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of redemption of $16,503. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Series 1 preferred stockholders were entitled to dividends of $16,503 and $40,425, respectively. Payment for all accrued but unpaid dividends was made at the time of redemption.

(1)Represents the number of common stock issuable upon conversion of all convertible note principal at the conversion rate in effect at the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2025, the 2026 convertible notes are potentially convertible into 19,096,202 shares of common stock. The principal amount of the 2029 convertible notes is to be settled by paying or delivering cash. See Note 12. Debt for additional information.
Dividends
Common stockholders and non-voting common stockholders are entitled to dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors and subject to government regulation over banks and bank holding companies, as discussed further in Note 21. Regulatory Capital. There were no dividends declared or paid to common stockholders during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Voting Rights
Each holder of common stock has the right to one vote per share of common stock and is entitled to notice of any stockholder meeting. Non-voting common stock does not have any voting rights or other powers.
Capped Call Transactions
Capped Call Transactions, Due 2026
During 2021, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (“2026 capped call transactions”) for a total cost of $113.8 million. In connection with the March 2024 repurchase agreements of a portion of 2026 convertible notes, the Company entered into unwind agreements to terminate a portion of the 2026 capped call transactions up to the notional amount corresponding to the amount of 2026 convertible notes exchanged of $600.0 million.
The 2026 capped call transactions initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2026 convertible notes. The 2026 capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the common stock upon any conversion of 2026 convertible notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2026 convertible notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2026 capped call transactions. The 2026 capped call transactions allow the Company to purchase shares of our common stock at a strike price equal to the initial conversion price of approximately $22.41 per share, and are subject to a cap of $32.02 per share, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2026 capped call transactions. 2026 capped call transactions are subject to automatic exercise if they are in-the-money as of certain expiration dates during September and October 2026. Settlement is

Capped Call Transactions, Due 2029
During 2024, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (“2029 capped call transactions”) for a total cost of $90.6 million. The 2029 capped call transactions initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the 2029 convertible notes. The 2029 capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the common stock upon any conversion of 2029 convertible notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2029 convertible notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2029 capped call transactions. The 2029 capped call transactions allow the Company to purchase shares of our common stock at a strike price equal to the initial conversion price of approximately $9.45 per share, and are subject to a cap of $14.54 per share, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2029 capped call transactions. 2029 capped call transactions are subject to automatic exercise if they are in-the-money as of certain expiration dates during 2029. Settlement is subject to acceleration pursuant to the occurrence of certain corporate events, as well as postponement no later than June 6, 2029.
See Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards for our accounting policy as it relates to our capped call transactions.

See Note 6. Investment Securities for additional information.

(2)These assets represent the carrying value of our holdings in VIEs wherein we were not deemed the primary beneficiary. See Note 7. Securitization and Variable Interest Entities for additional information. We classify asset-backed bonds as Level 2 due to the use of quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are not active, as well as certain factors specific to us. The key inputs used to value the asset-backed bonds include the discount rate and conditional prepayment rate. The fair value of our asset-backed bonds was not materially impacted by default assumptions on the underlying securitization loans, as the subordinate residual interests are expected to absorb all estimated losses based on our default assumptions for the period. We classify the residual investments as Level 3 due to the reliance on significant unobservable valuation inputs. See Note 6. Investment Securities for additional information on the asset-backed bonds and residual investments included herein which are classified as available for sale.
(3)These assets are presented within investment securities in the consolidated balance sheets.
(4)Home loans classified as Level 2 have observable pricing sources utilized by management. Personal loans, student loans and home loans classified as Level 3 do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Personal loans and home loans are presented within loans held for sale, and student loans are presented within loans held for investment, at fair value.
(5)These assets and liabilities are presented within other assets and accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.
(6)The key unobservable assumption used in the fair value measurement of the third party warrants was the price of the stock underlying the warrants. The fair value was measured as the difference between the stock price and the strike price of the warrants. As the strike price was insignificant, we concluded that the impact of time value on the fair value measure was immaterial.
(7)For certain derivative instruments for which an enforceable master netting agreement exists, we elected to net derivative assets and derivative liabilities by counterparty. These instruments are presented on a gross basis herein. See Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards and Note 14. Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.
(8)Home loan pipeline hedges represent TBAs used as economic hedges of loan fair values and are classified as Level 2, as we rely on quoted market prices from similar loan pools that transact in the marketplace. Interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2, because these financial instruments do not trade in active markets with observable prices, but rely on observable inputs other than quoted prices. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, interest rate swaps were valued using the overnight SOFR curve and the implied volatilities suggested by the SOFR rate curve. These were determined to be observable inputs from active markets.
(9)IRLCs and student loan commitments (which include in-school loan and student loan refinancing commitments) are classified as Level 3 because of our reliance on assumed loan funding probabilities. The assumed probabilities are based on our internal historical experience with home loans and student loans similar to those in the funding pipelines on the measurement date.
(10)The fair value of our securitization debt was classified as Level 2 and valued using a discounted cash flow model, with key inputs relating to the underlying contractual coupons, terms, discount rate and expectations for defaults and prepayments. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the unpaid principal related to debt measured at fair value was $56,255 and $85,160, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, losses from changes in fair value were $2,097, $4,696 and $2,969, respectively. The estimated amounts of gains (losses) included in earnings attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk, which were derived principally from observable changes in credit spread as observed in the bond market and default assumptions, were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
(11)During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company launched SoFi Crypto which provides our members the ability to buy, sell and hold digital assets. To facilitate these member transactions, we maintain an incidental inventory of crypto assets for operational purposes. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of our crypto assets were immaterial. These assets are presented within other assets and categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2025.

_____________________(1)For loans at fair value, purchases reflect unpaid principal balance and relate to previously transferred loans. Purchase activity included elective repurchases of $1.7 billion and $165.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and securitization clean-up calls of $426.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no securitization clean-up calls during the year ended December 31, 2024. The remaining purchases during the periods presented related to standard representations and warranties pursuant to our various loan sale agreements. Issuances represent the principal balance of loans originated during the period. Settlements represent principal payments made on loans during the period. Other changes represent fair value adjustments that impact the balance sheet primarily associated with whole loan strategic repurchases, clean up calls and consolidated securitizations. Impacts on earnings for loans at fair value are recorded within interest income—loans and securitizations, within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing, and within noninterest expense—general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
(2)For servicing rights, impacts on earnings are recorded within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
(3)For residual investments, sales include the derecognition of investments associated with securitization clean up calls. The estimated amounts of gains and losses for residual investments included in earnings attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk were immaterial during the periods presented. For residual investments and residual interests classified as debt, impacts on earnings are recorded within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), a portion of which is subsequently reclassified to interest expense—securitizations and warehouses for residual interests classified as debt and to interest income—loans and securitizations for residual investments, but does not impact the liability or asset balance, respectively.
(4)For IRLCs and student loan commitments, settlements reflect funded and unfunded adjustments representing the unpaid principal balance of funded and unfunded loans during the quarter multiplied by the IRLC or student loan commitment price in effect at the beginning of the quarter. For year-to-date periods, amounts represent the summation of the per-quarter effects. For IRLCs and student loan commitments, impacts on earnings are recorded within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
(5)For third party warrants, impacts on earnings are recorded within noninterest income—other in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Loans at Fair Value
Gains and losses recognized in earnings include changes in accumulated interest and fair value adjustments on loans originated during the period and on loans held at the balance sheet date, as well as loan charge-offs. Changes in fair value are primarily impacted by valuation assumption changes as well as sales price execution. The estimated amount of gains (losses) included in earnings attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk was $106.1 million, $73.3 million and $(26.6) million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The gains (losses) attributable to instrument-specific credit risk were estimated by incorporating our current default and loss severity assumptions for the loans. These assumptions are based on historical performance, market trends and performance expectations over the term of the underlying instrument.
Level 3 Significant Inputs
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Level 3 fair value measurements include unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities for which there is little

or no market data, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Loans
The following key unobservable assumptions were used in the fair value measurement of our loans:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| Range | | Weighted Average | | Range | | Weighted Average |
| Personal loans | | | | | | | |
| Conditional prepayment rate | 18.3% – 30.7% | | 26.9% | | 20.9% – 32.2% | | 26.0% |
| Annual default rate | 3.7% – 37.9% | | 4.5% | | 4.4% – 51.2% | | 4.5% |
| Discount rate | 4.4% – 6.6% | | 4.5% | | 5.3% – 7.4% | | 5.3% |
| Student loans | | | | | | | |
| Conditional prepayment rate | 9.6% – 12.9% | | 11.2% | | 8.6% – 11.9% | | 11.0% |
| Annual default rate | 0.4% – 6.4% | | 0.7% | | 0.4% – 7.1% | | 0.7% |
| Discount rate | 3.7% – 8.2% | | 3.9% | | 4.2% – 8.2% | | 4.4% |
Home loans | | | | | | | |
| Conditional prepayment rate | 6.2% – 20.7% | | 13.6% | | 6.7% – 23.6% | | 14.8% |
| Annual default rate | 0.1% – 7.4% | | 0.6% | | 0.1% – 3.5% | | 0.6% |
| Discount rate | 4.9% – 8.5% | | 5.9% | | 5.0% – 9.2% | | 7.5% |
The key assumptions are defined as follows:
•Conditional prepayment rate — The monthly annualized proportion of the principal of a pool of loans that is assumed to be paid off prematurely in each period. An increase in the conditional prepayment rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
•Annual default rate — The annualized rate of borrowers who do not make loan payments on time. An increase in the annual default rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
•Discount rate — The weighted average rate at which the expected cash flows are discounted to arrive at the net present value of the loans. The discount rate is primarily determined based on an underlying benchmark rate, curve and spread(s), the latter of which is determined based on factors including, but not limited to, weighted average coupon rate, prepayment rate, default rate and resulting expected duration of the assets. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
See Note 4. Loans for additional loan fair value disclosures.
Servicing Rights
Servicing rights for personal loans and student loans do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Similarly, home loan servicing rights infrequently trade in an active market. At the time of the underlying loan sale or the assumption of servicing rights, the fair value of servicing rights is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology based on observable and unobservable inputs. Management classifies servicing rights as Level 3 due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement.

The following key unobservable inputs were used in the fair value measurement of our classes of servicing rights:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| Range | | Weighted Average | | Range | | Weighted Average |

| Annual default rate | 0.3% – 3.7% | | 0.9% | | 0.3% – 3.7% | | 0.8% |
| Discount rate | 8.5% – 8.5% | | 8.5% | | 8.5% – 8.5% | | 8.5% |
| Home loans | | | | | | | |
| Market servicing costs | 0.1% – 0.2% | | 0.1% | | 0.1% – 0.2% | | 0.1% |
| Conditional prepayment rate | 4.7% – 21.5% | | 8.7% | | 5.0% – 25.0% | | 6.9% |
| Annual default rate | 0.0% – 0.1% | | 0.0% | | 0.0% – 0.1% | | 0.1% |
| Discount rate | 9.3% – 10.0% | | 9.3% | | 9.3% – 10.0% | | 9.3% |
The key assumptions are defined as follows:
•Market servicing costs — The fee a willing market participant, which we validate through actual third-party bids for our servicing, would require for the servicing of personal loans, student loans and home loans with similar characteristics as those in our serviced portfolio. An increase in the market servicing cost, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
•Conditional prepayment rate — The monthly annualized proportion of the principal of a pool of loans that is assumed to be paid off prematurely in each period. An increase in the conditional prepayment rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
•Annual default rate — The annualized rate of default within the total serviced loan balance. An increase in the annual default rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
•Discount rate — The weighted average rate at which the expected cash flows are discounted to arrive at the net present value of the servicing rights. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.

The following table presents the estimated decrease to the fair value of our servicing rights if the key assumptions had each of the below adverse changes:

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. The effect on fair value of a variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of our servicing rights is calculated while holding the other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
Residual Investments and Residual Interests Classified as Debt
Residual investments and residual interests classified as debt do not trade in active markets with readily observable prices, and there is limited observable market data for reference. The fair values of residual investments and residual interests classified as debt are determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. Management classifies residual investments and residual interests classified as debt as Level 3 due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements.
The following key unobservable inputs were used in the fair value measurements of our residual investments and residual interests classified as debt:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| Range | | Weighted Average | | Range | | Weighted Average |

| Conditional prepayment rate | 11.9% – 36.5% | | 21.2% | | 11.0% – 32.7% | | 16.0% |
| Annual default rate | 0.7% – 8.6% | | 3.5% | | 0.5% – 7.8% | | 1.8% |
| Discount rate | 5.1% – 30.0% | | 11.9% | | 5.5% – 30.0% | | 8.6% |
| Residual interests classified as debt | | | | | | | |
| Conditional prepayment rate | 12.0% – 12.0% | | 12.0% | | 11.9% – 11.9% | | 11.9% |
| Annual default rate | 1.1% – 1.1% | | 1.1% | | 1.0% – 1.0% | | 1.0% |
| Discount rate | 9.5% – 9.5% | | 9.5% | | 10.3% – 10.3% | | 10.3% |
The key assumptions are defined as follows:
•Conditional prepayment rate — The monthly annualized proportion of the principal of a pool of loans that is assumed to be paid off prematurely in each period for the pool of loans in the securitization. An increase in the conditional prepayment rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
•Annual default rate — The annualized rate of borrowers who fail to remain current on their loans for the pool of loans in the securitization. An increase in the annual default rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
•Discount rate — The weighted average rate at which the expected cash flows are discounted to arrive at the net present value of the residual investments and residual interests classified as debt. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
Loan Commitments
We classify student loan commitments as Level 3 because the assets do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices and, as such, our valuations utilize significant unobservable inputs. Additionally, we classify IRLCs as Level 3, as our IRLCs are inherently uncertain and unobservable given that a home loan origination is contingent on a variety of factors. The following key unobservable inputs were used in the fair value measurements of our IRLCs and student loan commitments:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| Range | | Weighted Average | | Range | | Weighted Average |
| IRLCs | | | | | | | |
Loan funding probability(1) | 58.6% – 75.6% | | 69.7% | | 58.1% – 79.7% | | 71.8% |
| Student loan commitments | | | | | | | |
Loan funding probability(1) | 89.0% – 99.0% | | 94.5% | | 95.0% - 95.0% | | 95.0% |
_____________________(1)The aggregate amount of student loans we committed to fund was $437,470 and $149,402 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 14. Derivative Financial Instruments for the aggregate notional amount associated with IRLCs.
The key assumption is defined as follows:
•Loan funding probability — Our expectation of the percentage of IRLCs or student loan commitments which will become funded loans. A significant difference between the actual funded rate and the assumed funded rate at the measurement date could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of our IRLCs and student loan commitments. An increase in the loan funding probabilities, in isolation, would result in an increase in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumptions were weighted based on relative fair values.

_____________________(1)The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities and highly liquid nature of these accounts.
(2)The fair value of our credit cards was determined using a discounted cash flow model with key inputs relating to weighted average lives, expected lifetime loss rates and discount rate. The fair value of our commercial and consumer banking, loans held at lower of amortized cost or fair value and secured loans was determined using a discounted cash flow model with key inputs relating to the underlying contractual coupons, terms, discount rate and expectations for defaults.
(3)Other investments include FRB stock and FHLB stock, which are presented within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
(4)The fair values of our deposits without contractually defined maturities (such as demand and savings deposits) and our noninterest-bearing deposits approximate their carrying values. The fair value of our time-based deposits was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
(5)The carrying value of our debt is net of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair value of our convertible notes was classified as Level 1, as it was based on an observable market quote. The estimated fair value of our 2026 convertible notes was $554.1 million and $453.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The estimated fair value of our 2029 convertible notes was $2.4 billion and $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair values of our warehouse facility debt and revolving credit facility debt were classified as Level 2 based on market factors and credit factors specific to these financial instruments. The fair value of our securitization debt was classified as Level 2 and valued using a discounted cash flow model, with key inputs relating to the underlying contractual coupons, terms, discount rate and expectations for defaults and prepayments.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Investments in equity securities of $51,083 and $29,500 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are presented within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, include investments for which fair values are not readily determinable, which we elect to measure using the measurement alternative method of accounting. The fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements. The balances were primarily composed of a $27,500 investment, as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as a $20,000 investment as of December 31, 2025, that are valued under the measurement alternative method.

Note 16. Share-Based Compensation 2011 Stock Option Plan
Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”) allowed the Company to grant shares of common stock to employees, non-employee directors and non-employee third parties. As of December 31, 2025, outstanding awards to non-employee third parties under the 2011 Plan were not material. The Company also had shares authorized under a stock plan assumed in a 2020 business combination, which were assumed by the 2011 Plan. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the remaining unallocated share reserve under the 2011 Plan was cancelled and no new awards may be granted under such plan. Awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan were assumed by SoFi Technologies upon the closing of the Business Combination and continue to be governed by the terms of the 2011 Plan.
2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company adopted the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which authorized for issuance 63,575,425 shares of common stock in connection with the Business Combination. Under the 2021 Plan, effective January 1, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an additional 8,937,242 shares. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2021 Plan”), including a modification to the evergreen provision and an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan. As of December 31, 2025, the Amended and Restated 2021 Plan includes an aggregate of 255,238,933 shares of common stock authorized for issuance of awards. The Amended and Restated 2021 Plan allows for the number of authorized shares to increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on and including January 1, 2030 equal to the lesser of (a) five percent of the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (b) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by the Board of Directors. The Amended and Restated 2021 Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs (including PSUs), dividend equivalents and other stock or cash based awards for issuance to its employees, non-employee directors and non-employee third parties. Shares associated with option exercises and RSU vesting are issued from the authorized pool.
Effective January 1, 2023, we approved a plan to allow our non-employee directors to elect, on an annual basis, to defer their cash retainers into equity awards, and/or to defer their RSU grants, which vest in accordance with the grant terms (collectively referred to as DSUs). DSUs are equity awards that entitle the holder to shares of our common stock when the awards vest. Directors may choose to receive their deferred stock distributions in a lump sum or in installments over different time periods. DSUs are measured based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. DSU activity is presented with RSUs in the disclosures below.
2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In 2024, the Company adopted the 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2024 ESPP”), which authorized for issuance an aggregate of 16,589,650 shares of common stock. The 2024 ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2025, by the lesser of 16,589,650 shares of Common Stock, 1% of the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser amount as determined by the 2024 ESPP administrator.

Total compensation and benefits, inclusive of share-based compensation expense, was $1,142,145, $927,258 and $894,720 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Compensation and benefits expenses are presented within the following categories of expenses within noninterest expense: (i) technology and product development, (ii) sales and marketing, (iii) cost of operations, and (iv) general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Stock Options
The terms of the stock option grants, including the exercise price per share and vesting periods, are determined by our Board of Directors. At the discretion and determination of our Board of Directors, the 2021 Amended and Restated Plan allows for stock options to be granted that may be exercised before the stock options have vested. The 2011 Plan, which continues to govern awards outstanding under that plan that were assumed by SoFi Technologies upon the closing of the Business Combination, had a similar provision.
Stock options were typically granted at exercise prices equal to the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. Our stock options typically vest at a rate of 25% after one year from the vesting commencement date and then monthly over an additional three-year period. While the vesting schedule noted is typical, stock options have been issued under other vesting schedules. Our stock options typically expire ten years from the grant date or within 90 days of employee termination.
The following is a summary of stock option activity:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of Stock Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) |
| Outstanding as of January 1, 2025 | 14,810,602 | | | $ | 7.85 | | | 3.1 |

| Exercisable as of December 31, 2025 | 13,748,914 | | | $ | 7.95 | | | 2.2 |
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $16.1 million, $16.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable was $250.7 million and $250.7 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options.
Restricted Stock Units
RSUs, inclusive of DSUs, are equity awards granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of our common stock when the awards vest. For employees hired since 2024, new hire RSU grants typically vest between 12.5% to 16.7% on

the first vesting date, which occurs approximately six months after the date of grant, and ratably each quarter of the ensuing 10- to 14-quarter period. For employees hired during 2023, new hire RSU grants typically vest between 12.5% to 25% on the first vesting date, which occurs approximately six months after the date of grant, and ratably each quarter of the ensuing 6- to 14-quarter period. For employees hired during 2022, new hire RSU grants typically vest 12.5% on the first vesting date, which occurs approximately six months after the date of grant, and ratably each quarter of the ensuing 14-quarter period. For employees hired before January 1, 2022, new hire RSU grants typically vest 25% on the first vesting date, which occurs approximately one year after the date of grant, and ratably each quarter of the ensuing 12-quarter period. RSUs have been issued under other vesting schedules, including grants to existing employees. RSUs are measured based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes RSU activity:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of RSUs | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
| Outstanding as of January 1, 2025 | 60,423,369 | | | $ | 7.77 | |

(1)The total fair value, based on grant date fair value, of RSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $284.0 million, $290.0 million, and $282.6 million, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs issued during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $7.94 and $6.51, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $478.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, inclusive of DSUs, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years.
Performance Stock Units
PSUs are equity awards granted to employees that, upon vesting, entitle the holder to shares of our common stock. During 2021 and 2023, we granted PSUs that will vest, if at all, on a graded basis during the four-year period commencing on May 28, 2022, subject to the achievement of specified performance goals, such as the volume-weighted average closing price of our stock over a 90-trading day period (“Target Hurdles”) and, now that we are a bank holding company, maintaining certain minimum standards applicable to bank holding companies. In the event of a Sale Event (as defined in the 2021 Amended and Restated Plan), the awards may automatically vest subject to the satisfaction of the Target Hurdles by reference to the sale price, without regard to any other vesting conditions. During 2024 and 2025, we granted PSUs, that will vest, if at all, at the conclusion of a three-year measurement period, subject to the achievement of specific performance goals, such as absolute growth in tangible book value, total risk weighted capital ratio, and relative total shareholder return.
The following table summarizes PSU activity:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of PSUs | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
| Outstanding as of January 1, 2025 | 14,048,503 | | $ | 10.81 | |
| Granted | 1,820,753 | | 13.42 | |
| Vested | (3,991,995) | | 15.17 |
| Forfeited | (1,533,420) | | 7.99 | |
Outstanding as of December 31, 2025 | 10,343,841 | | $ | 11.50 | |
The aggregate intrinsic value of PSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $120.0 million. There were no PSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Compensation cost associated with PSUs is recognized using the accelerated attribution method for each of the three vesting tranches over the respective derived service period.

We determined the grant-date fair value of PSUs utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table summarizes the inputs used for estimating the fair value of PSUs granted:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Input | | Year Ended December 31, 2025 | | Year Ended December 31, 2024 | | Year Ended December 31, 2023 |
Risk-free interest rate | | 3.9% | | 4.5% | | 1.6% |
Expected volatility | | 64.3% | | 73.0% | | 37.7% |
Fair value of common stock | | $11.26 | | $8.02 | | $12.06 |
Dividend yield | | —% | | —% | | —% |
Our use of a Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of subjective assumptions:
•Risk-free interest rate — Based on the U.S. Treasury rate at the time of grant commensurate with the remaining term of the PSUs.
•Expected volatility — Based on the implied volatility of our common stock from a set of comparable publicly-traded companies.
•Fair value of common stock — Based on the closing stock price on the date of grant.
•Dividend yield — We assumed no dividend yield because we have historically not paid out dividends to common stockholders.
The weighted average grant date fair value of PSUs issued during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $9.17 and $3.36, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, there was $27.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our ESPP provides permitted eligible employees the right to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation, subject to certain limitations. The purchase price of the shares under the ESPP equals 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on either the first or last day of each six-month offering period (i.e., a 15% discount). The ESPP does not include post-purchase holding requirements and does not include certain features that could trigger modification, such as increases to contribution rates, resets, and rollovers. Employees are allowed to terminate their participation in the ESPP at any time during the purchase period prior to the purchase of shares.
Compensation expense for the ESPP relates to the 15% discount and is calculated as of the beginning of the offering period as the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights utilizing the Black-Scholes Model and compensation expense is recognized over the offering period. The first offering period was initiated in December 2024.
The table below presents the fair value assumptions used for the period indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Input | | Year Ended December 31, 2025 | | Year Ended December 31, 2024 |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.0% | | 4.3% |
Expected term (in years) | | 0.5 | | 0.5 |
Expected volatility | | 60.5% | | 49.6% |
Fair value of common stock |
| $20.51 | | $15.57 |
Dividend yield | | —% | | —% |
Our use of a Black-Scholes Model requires the use of subjective assumptions:
•Risk-free interest rate — Based on the U.S. Treasury rate at the time of grant commensurate with the offering period.
•Expected term — Based on the 6-month offering period and corresponding purchase period.

•Expected volatility — Based on the historical volatility at the offering date, over a historical period equal to the expected term.
•Fair value of common stock — Based on the closing stock price on the date of grant (first day of offering period).
•Dividend yield — We assumed no dividend yield because we have historically not paid out dividends to common stockholders.
As of December 31, 2025, there was $9.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP, to be recognized over the remainder of the six-month offering period, ending in June 2026.

The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $44.5 million, primarily attributable to the Company’s profitability, partially offset by tax benefits for stock compensation.
The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $265.3 million, primarily due to the release in the fourth quarter of a $258.4 million valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets based on our reassessment of their realizability. The timing of this valuation allowance release was primarily due to our cumulative income combined with projections of continued profitability. Management defines cumulative income as the most recent three years of pre-tax income when adjusted for certain non-recurring, non-taxable, or non-deductible transactions.

In connection with recording deferred taxes, management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. We evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether adjustments to our valuation allowance are appropriate in light of changes in facts and circumstances. Management reviews all evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets are realizable. Examples of positive or negative evidence include cumulative income, projections of future profitability, future reversal of deferred tax liabilities, history of U.S. federal and material state tax attributes expiring unused, as well as tax planning strategies. Management defines cumulative income as the most recent three years of pre-tax income when adjusted for certain non-recurring, non-taxable, or non-deductible transactions. Generally, the weight we give to any particular factor is dependent upon the degree to which it can be objectively verified. As a result, we give greater weight to the recent cumulative income or loss of a relevant jurisdiction than other more subjective factors.
During 2025, we maintained a valuation allowance of $38.7 million, in certain state and foreign jurisdictions where sufficient positive evidence does not exist to support the realizability of deferred tax assets, increasing our valuation allowance by $8.0 million. Management will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in future periods.

During 2024, the valuation allowance decreased by $315.0 million, of which $258.4 million related to our fourth quarter assessment in which management concluded that cumulative income combined with projections of future profitability provided substantial positive evidence that outweighs the negative evidence to support the realization of certain of the Company's deferred tax assets, primarily related to U.S. and certain state jurisdictions. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company released $258.4 million of its valuation allowance.
During 2023, we maintained a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, in applicable jurisdictions, increasing our valuation allowance by $27.2 million.
Net operating loss carryforwards by jurisdiction:
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards (prior to the application of statutory tax rates) of approximately $167.0 million, $1.1 billion and $156.6 million, respectively. Federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $149.1 million and $74.8 million, respectively, carry forward indefinitely, while the remaining federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards primarily expire by 2032. Most state net operating loss carryforwards are limited and primarily expire by 2038. The carryforwards, net of the valuation allowance for certain states, are expected to be fully utilized prior to expiration.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of $111.4 million and $36.9 million, respectively. The federal research credit carryforwards will expire beginning in 2038 and the state research credits will expire beginning in 2036.
The Company files a federal income tax return in the United States and also files in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The following are the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the earliest tax year subject to examination:
| | | | | | | | |
| Jurisdiction | | Tax year |
| United States | | 2011 |
| California | | 2012 |
We are currently under examination by tax authorities in New York City and Argentina. Tax years subject to and open for examination vary by jurisdiction.
A portion of our foreign operations benefit from tax holidays. However, due to loss carryforwards, tax holidays do not result in any material cash tax benefits for any period presented. We qualify for a tax holiday in Argentina by fulfilling certain requirements of the “Regime for the Promotion of the Knowledge Economy (Law 27,506)”. The regime is in effect from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2029. An annual application process is required for approval and to continue to qualify for the holiday. The regime reduces the statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 28%.

We also have commitments to fund home loans and student loans that are only cancellable at the option of the borrower. The commitments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 15. Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
As part of our community reinvestment initiatives, we have a commitment to fund a line of credit to be used to finance housing and stimulate economic development in low- to moderate-income communities. As of December 31, 2025, we funded $7.5 million of loans, which are presented within loans held for investment, at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets, and had $22.5 million of the total $30.0 million commitment outstanding.
For information on our leases, see Note 9. Property, Equipment, Software and Leases.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, residual investments and loans. We hold cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in accounts at regulated domestic financial institutions in amounts that may exceed FDIC insured amounts. We believe these institutions are of high credit quality.
We are dependent on third-party funding sources and deposit balances to originate loans. Additionally, we sell loans to various third parties. We have historically sold loans to a limited pool of third-party buyers. No individual third-party buyer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated total net revenues for the periods presented.
Within our Technology Platform segment, we have a relatively smaller number of clients compared to our lending and financial services businesses. As such, the loss of one or a few of our top clients could be significant to that portion of our business. No individual client accounted for 10% or more of consolidated total net revenues for the periods presented.
The Company is exposed to default risk on borrower loans originated and financed by us. There is no single borrower or group of borrowers that comprise a significant concentration of the Company’s loan portfolio. Likewise, the Company is not overly concentrated within a group of channel partners or other customers, with the exception of our distribution of personal loan residual interests in our sponsored personal loan securitizations, which we market to third parties, and the aforementioned whole loan buyers. Given we have a limited number of prospective buyers for our personal loan securitization residual interests, this might result in our utilization of a significant amount of deposits or our own capital to fund future residual interests in personal loan securitizations, or impact the execution of future securitizations if we are limited in our own ability to invest in the residual interest portion of future securitizations, or find willing buyers for securitization residual interests.

Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to a variety of pending legal proceedings. While we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, we believe that any ultimate liability arising from any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, many of these matters are in various stages of proceedings and further developments could cause management to revise its assessment of these matters. Our assessments are based on our knowledge and historical experience, as well as the specific facts and circumstances asserted, but the ultimate outcome of any matter could require payment substantially in excess of the amount that we have accrued and/or disclosed. Regardless of the final outcome, defending lawsuits, claims, government and self-regulatory organization investigations, and proceedings in which we are involved is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees, and there can be no assurances that we will receive favorable final outcomes.
Guarantees
We have three types of repurchase obligations that we account for as financial guarantees. First, we issue financial guarantees to GSEs on loans that we sell to GSEs, which manifest as repurchase requirements if it is later discovered that loans sold to a GSE do not meet their guidelines. We have a three-year repurchase obligation from the time of origination to buy back originated loans that do not meet GSE guidelines, and we are required to pay the full initial purchase price back to the GSE. We recognize a liability for the full amount of expected loan repurchases, which we estimate based on historical repurchase activity for similar types of loans and assess whether adjustments to our historical loss experience are required based on current conditions and forecasts of future conditions, as appropriate, as our exposure under the guarantee is typically short-term in nature. The liability we record is equal to what we expect to buy back. Second, we make standard representations and warranties related to other loan transfers, breaches of which would require us to repurchase the transferred loans. Finally, we have limited repurchase obligations for certain loan transfers associated with credit-related events, such as early prepayment or events of default within 90 days after origination. In the event of a repurchase, we are typically required to pay the purchase price of the loans transferred.
As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we accrued liabilities within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets of $18.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively, related to our estimated repurchase obligation. The corresponding charges for changes in the estimated obligation are recorded within noninterest income—loan origination, sales, securitizations and servicing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or within noninterest income - loan platform fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in connection with transfers of loans held for sale and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value as part of our Loan Platform Business. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amounts associated with loans sold that were subject to the terms and conditions of our repurchase obligations totaled $15.7 billion and $12.5 billion, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had a total of $4.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding with financial institutions, which were issued for the purpose of securing certain of our operating lease obligations. A portion of the letters of credit was collateralized by $1.3 million of our cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included within restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had a total of $46.7 million and $25.2 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding with the FHLB, which serve as collateral for public deposits and were collateralized by loans.
Mortgage Banking Regulatory Mandates
We are subject to certain state-imposed minimum net worth requirements for the states in which we are engaged in the business of a residential mortgage lender. Noncompliance with these requirements on an annual basis could result in potential fines or penalties imposed by the applicable state. Future events or changes in mandates may affect our ability to meet mortgage banking regulatory requirements. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we were in compliance with all minimum net worth requirements; therefore, we have not accrued any liabilities related to fines or penalties.

Retirement Plans
We have a 401(k) plan that covers all U.S. employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The 401(k) plan is designed to provide tax-deferred retirement benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees may defer up to 100% of eligible compensation up to the annual maximum as determined by the IRS. Our contributions to the plan are discretionary. We did not make any contributions to the plan through December 31, 2025.
Digital Assets Under Custody
As part of the SoFi Crypto business, we are obligated to securely store all digital assets that are held in custodial products on behalf of customers. As such, we may be liable to our users for losses arising from the our failure to secure these assets from theft or loss. We have not incurred any losses related to such obligations and therefore have not accrued any liabilities as of December 31, 2025. These assets are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Since the risk of loss is remote, we did not record a contingent liability at December 31, 2025. We have no reason to believe we will incur any expense associated with such potential liability because (i) we account for and continually verify the amount of crypto assets within our control and (ii) we have established security around custodial product private keys to minimize the risk of theft or loss.
Note 19. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock has preferential cumulative dividend rights. To calculate net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for each period presented, we adjust the numerator for basic and diluted EPS for the impact of the contractual amount of dividends payable to holders of Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock and the impact of redemption activity, if applicable. In May 2024, the Company redeemed all Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding. See Note 13. Equity for additional information.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted for activity related to convertible notes, net of tax, if dilutive and applicable, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares. These potential common shares relate to (i) contingently issuable shares including PSU awards which require future service as a condition of delivery of the underlying common stock as determined using contingently issuable share guidance, (ii) outstanding RSUs, options, warrants and shares issuable under the ESPP as determined using the treasury stock method, and (iii) shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes as determined using the if-converted method. The adjustment for convertible notes reflects the conversion price at the end of the reporting period. We excluded the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock elements from the denominator in the computation of diluted EPS in the periods where their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 20. Business Segment and Geographic Information Segment Organization and Reporting Framework
We have three reportable segments: Lending, Technology Platform and Financial Services. Each of our reportable segments is a strategic business unit that serves specific needs of our members based on the products and services provided. The segments are based on the manner in which management views the financial performance of the business. The reportable segments also reflect our organizational structure. Each segment has a segment manager who reports directly to the CODM. Our CODM is the company’s chief executive officer. The CODM has ultimate authority and responsibility over resource allocation decisions and performance assessment.
The operations of acquired businesses have been integrated into, or managed as part of, our existing reportable segments. Activities that are not part of a reportable segment, such as management of our corporate investment portfolio and asset/liability management by our centralized treasury function (as further discussed below), are included in our Corporate/Other segment.
Contribution profit (loss) is the measure of segment profit and loss reviewed by the CODM. Contribution profit (loss) is used by the CODM to evaluate segment performance and make decisions about funding our operations and allocating resources, primarily through periodic segment performance reviews. Contribution profit (loss) is defined as total net revenue for each reportable segment less:
•fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt that are attributable to assumption changes, which impact the contribution profit within the Lending segment. These fair value changes are non-cash in nature and are not realized in the period; therefore, they do not impact the amounts available to fund our operations; and
•expenses directly attributable to the corresponding reportable segment. Directly attributable expenses are the significant expenses of each of our respective segments, and primarily include compensation and benefits, direct advertising and lead generation, and vary based on the amount of activity within each segment. Directly attributable expenses also include loan origination and servicing expenses, professional services, product fulfillment, and occupancy-related costs. Expenses are attributed to the reportable segments using either direct costs of the segment or labor costs that can be attributed based upon the allocation of employee time for individual products.
•the provision for credit losses which primarily relates to the financial services segment.
We apply an FTP framework to attribute net interest income to our business segments based on their usage and/or provision of funding, implemented beginning in the first quarter of 2022. The primary objective of the FTP framework is to transfer interest rate risk from the business segments by providing matched duration of funding of assets and liabilities to allocate interest income and interest expense to each segment. Therefore, the financial impact, management and reporting of interest rate risk is centralized in Corporate/Other, where it is monitored and managed. Under the FTP framework, treasury provides a funds credit for sources of funds, such as deposits, and a funds charge for the use of funds, such as loans and credit cards. The process for determining FTP credits and charges is based on a number of factors and assumptions, including prevailing market interest rates, the expected duration of interest-earning and interest-bearing assets and liabilities, contingent risks and behaviors, and our broader funding profile. As the durations of assets and liabilities are typically not perfectly matched, the residual impact of the FTP framework is reflected within Corporate/Other. We regularly assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications used for segment reporting, which may result in further refinements or changes to the framework in future periods. The application of the FTP framework impacts the measure of net interest income and, thereby, total net revenue and contribution profit (loss) for our reportable segments, as well as the total net revenue of Corporate/Other, but has no impact on our consolidated results of operations.

The accounting policies of our reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards, except for the application of the FTP framework and the allocations of consolidated income and consolidated expenses. Assets are not allocated to reportable segments, as our CODM does not evaluate reportable segments using discrete asset information.
Segment Information
Lending. The Lending segment includes our personal loan, student loan and home loan products and the related servicing activities. We also provide servicing in support of our Loan Platform Business on loans originated on behalf of third-party partners and servicing rights assumed from third parties. Revenues in the Lending segment are driven by changes in the fair value of our whole loans and securitization interests (inclusive of our economic hedging activities), gains or losses recognized on transfers that meet the true sale requirements, and our servicing-related activities, which mainly consist of servicing fees and the changes in our servicing assets over time. In our Lending segment, we also earn the difference between interest income earned on our loans and interest expense as determined using the FTP framework.
Technology Platform. The Technology Platform segment includes: (i) technology products and solutions revenue, which is primarily related to our integrated technology platform as a service through Galileo, which provides the infrastructure to facilitate core client-facing and back-end capabilities, such as account setup, account funding, direct deposit, authorizations and processing, payments functionality and check account balance features, (ii) beginning in March 2022, revenue earned by Technisys, which expanded our segment to include a cloud-native digital and core banking platform offering and which results in the sale of software licenses and associated services, including implementation and maintenance, and (iii) beginning in the third quarter of 2023, interest income earned on segment cash balances, for which prior period amounts were determined to be immaterial. Our CODM considers contribution profit in evaluating the performance of our Technology Platform segment and making resource allocation decisions. See Note 2. Business Combinations for additional information on the Technisys Merger.
Financial Services. The Financial Services segment includes: (i) our SoFi Money product, primarily inclusive of checking and savings accounts which provide members with a digital banking experiences, as well as cash management accounts, (ii) SoFi Invest product which provides investment features and financial planning services, (iii) SoFi Credit Card products, (iv) our Loan Platform Business, through which we provide lending related services and includes activity through which third-party partners leverage our end-to-end origination and servicing platform to acquire loans within their credit specifications on a fee per loan basis, referred loans originated by a third-party partner to which we provide pre-qualified borrower referrals, and certain loans associated with our Lantern financial services marketplace platform, developed to help applicants that do not qualify for SoFi products and small business owners to seek alternative products from other providers, (v) SoFi Crypto, which gives members the ability to buy, sell and hold digital assets, (vi) SoFi Relay personal finance management product and (vii) other financial services, such as a product comparison experience through Lantern and content for other financial services institutions, employers and our members.
Revenues in the Financial Services segment include interest income earned and interest expense incurred under the FTP framework, interchange fees on our member debit and credit transactions, and brokerage fees related to pay for order flow and share lending arrangements in SoFi Invest. We earn revenue on loans originated on behalf of third-party partners through our Loan Platform Business, for which we receive a specified fee upon sale which includes a fixed price per loan sold. We also earn referral fees in connection with referral activity we facilitate through our platform, inclusive of referral fees generated through our Loan Platform Business for providing pre-qualified borrower referrals to a third-party partner who separately contracts with a loan originator. Certain products, such as our complementary product SoFi Relay, do not provide direct sources of revenue. Under the FTP framework, the Financial Services segment earns interest income that is reflective of an FTP credit for deposits provided to the overall business, as well as incurs interest expense that is reflective of an FTP charge related to the use of funding for SoFi Credit Card.
Corporate/Other. Corporate/Other includes net revenues associated with corporate functions that are not directly related to a reportable segment. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, net interest income (expense) within Corporate/Other reflects the residual impact from FTP charges and FTP credits allocated to our reportable segments under our FTP framework. These non-segment net revenue (loss) also include interest income earned on corporate cash balances, nonrecurring income on certain investments from available cash on hand, such as our investments in AFS debt securities (which investments are not interconnected with our core business lines and, thereby, reportable segments), noninterest income related to gains and losses on extinguishment of corporate borrowings including our convertible notes, and interest expense on other corporate borrowings,

such as our revolving credit facility and the amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount on our convertible notes.
Segment Results
The following tables present financial information, including the measure of contribution profit (loss), for each reportable segment. Directly attributable expenses are the significant expenses of each of our respective segments relative to those regularly provided to our CODM.

(1)Within the Technology Platform segment, intercompany fees were $85,484, $36,765 and $22,199 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The equal and offsetting intercompany expenses are reflected within all three segments’ directly attributable expenses, as well as within expenses not allocated to segments. The intercompany revenues and expenses are eliminated in consolidation. The revenues are eliminated within Corporate/Other and the expenses are adjusted in our reconciliation of directly attributable expenses below.
(2)Refer to Note 3. Revenue for a reconciliation of revenue from contracts with customers to total noninterest income (expense).
(3)Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions on servicing rights, including conditional prepayment, default rates and discount rates. These assumptions are highly sensitive to market interest rate changes and are not indicative of our performance or results of operations. Moreover, these non-cash charges, which are recorded within noninterest income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), are unrealized during the period and, therefore, have no impact on our cash flows from operations.
(4)Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions on residual interests classified as debt, including conditional prepayment, default rates and discount rates. When third parties finance our consolidated securitization VIEs by purchasing residual interests, we receive proceeds at the time of the closing of the securitization and, thereafter, pass along contractual cash flows to the residual interest owner. These residual debt obligations are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with fair value changes recorded within noninterest income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), but they have no impact on our initial financing proceeds, our future obligations to the residual interest owner (because future residual interest claims are limited to contractual securitization collateral cash flows), or the general operations of our business.
(5)The significant expense categories and amounts presented align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Other expenses for our Lending segment primarily include loan marketing expenses, member promotional expenses, tools and subscriptions, travel and occupancy-related costs and third-party loan fraud (net of related insurance recoveries). Other expenses for our Technology Platform are primarily related to travel and occupancy-related costs, advertising and marketing and accounts receivable write-offs. Other expenses for our Financial Services segment primarily include operational product losses, network servicing fees, travel and occupancy-related costs, tools and subscriptions and marketing expenses.
The following table reconciles reportable segments total contribution profit to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes. Expenses not allocated to reportable segments represent items that are not considered by our CODM in evaluating segment performance or allocating resources.

Note 21. Regulatory Capital SoFi Technologies, a bank holding company, and SoFi Bank, a nationally chartered association, are required to comply with regulatory capital rules issued by the Federal Reserve and other U.S. banking regulators, including the OCC and FDIC. From time to time, we may contribute capital to SoFi Bank. We are required to manage our capital position to maintain sufficient capital to satisfy these regulatory rules and support our business activities, including the requirement to maintain minimum regulatory capital ratios in accordance with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision standardized approach for U.S. banking organizations (U.S. Basel III). If the Federal Reserve finds that we are not “well-capitalized” or “well-managed”, we would be required to take remedial action, which may contain additional limitations or conditions relating to our activities.
The Federal Reserve and the OCC have authority to prohibit bank holding companies and banks, respectively, from paying dividends if, in their opinion, the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Under the National Bank Act, SoFi Bank generally may, without prior approval of the OCC, declare a dividend so long as the total amount of all dividends (common and preferred), including the proposed dividend, in the current year do not exceed net income for the current year to date plus retained net income for the prior two years. However, taking into account a wide range of factors, the OCC may object and therefore prevent SoFi Bank from paying dividends to the Company. As such, as of December 31, 2025, the Bank would not have any funds free of restrictions that are available for dividend payments. Restrictions on the ability of SoFi Bank to pay dividends to the parent company could also impact the Company’s ability to pay dividends to common stockholders.
Additionally, under the Federal Reserve’s capital rules, our bank holding company’s ability to pay dividends is restricted if we do not maintain capital above the capital conservation buffer, as discussed below. Further, a policy statement of the Federal Reserve provides that, among other things, a bank holding company generally should not pay dividends on regulatory capital instruments if its net income for the past year is not sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the company’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. Based on this Federal Reserve policy, as of December 31, 2025, the Company generally would not have any funds free of restrictions available for dividend payments on regulatory capital instruments.
These requirements establish required minimum ratios for CET1 risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and a Tier 1 leverage ratio; set risk-weighting for assets and certain other items for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios; and define what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting the capital requirements. Additionally, regulatory capital rules include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% that is added on top of each of the minimum risk-based capital ratios in order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses. In addition, the Federal Reserve and the OCC have authority to require banking organizations subject to their supervision to hold additional amounts of capital in excess of the minimum risk-based capital ratios.

___________________(1)Required minimums presented for risk-based capital ratios include the required capital conservation buffer.
(2)The well-capitalized minimum measure is applicable at the bank level only.
(3)Amounts and ratios for December 31, 2025 are estimated. Our risk-based capital ratios and Tier 1 leverage ratio increased for SoFi Technologies as of December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the issuance of $3.2 billion of common stock during the third and fourth quarters of 2025 and net income.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds required to be regarded as a well-capitalized institution, and meet all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject. There have been no events or conditions since December 31, 2025 that management believes would change the categorization.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of SoFi Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “SoFi”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. SoFi’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
The internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
•Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
•Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
•Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the framework in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, commonly referred to as the “2013 Framework”. Based on this assessment, as noted below, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears in this Form 10-K.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of SoFi Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 17, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
