SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), a member-centric, one-stop shop for digital financial services that helps members borrow, save, spend, invest and protect their money, reported financial results today for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

“We are off to a tremendous start in 2025. In Q1, we delivered durable growth and strong returns driven by our relentless focus on product innovation and brand building,” said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi. “We delivered our highest revenue growth rate in five quarters, driven by new records in members, products, and fee-based revenue. These results demonstrate the strength of SoFi’s unique strategy, combination of businesses, and product architecture, which give us a sustainable competitive advantage with the highest lifetime value per member. This allows us to innovate unmatched products and services that help members spend less than they make and invest the rest so they can get their money right and realize their ambitions. With strong momentum in the first quarter, we are both accelerating our rate of innovation and increasing our financial guidance for 2025.”

  • Doubled revenue in Financial Services through rapid innovation. SoFi’s fastest growing segment reached $303 million in revenue, driven by strong adoption of SoFi Money, rapid expansion of the Loan Platform Business, and innovations in SoFi Invest including improved user experience and an expanded partnership with Templum, unlocking access to a broader range of investment opportunities.
  • Expanded the Loan Platform Business with over $8 billion in new commitments. With strong demand for SoFi’s personal loans, the company has finalized deals with Blue Owl, Fortress, and Edge Focus so far in 2025, and originated $1.6 billion in loans on behalf of third parties in Q1 alone.
  • Accelerated loan originations and continued to expand products. Including the Loan Platform Business, SoFi originated a record $7.2 billion in loans in the quarter. With stronger technology and fulfillment capabilities and a new home equity offering launched within the past year, SoFi grew home loan originations by 54% from the first quarter of 2024. A planned personal loan product for prime credit card customers with revolving balances and a new SmartStart student loan refinancing product will give members more ways to get their money right.
  • Further improved credit performance. SoFi’s annualized charge-off rate decreased from 3.37% to 3.31% for personal loans and from 62 basis points to 47 basis points for student loans compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
