1. Robust Segment Growth Fuels Momentum

The company also introduced the SoFi Smart Card—a single credit card that aggregates banking, investing, and rewards—available through its $10-per-month SoFi Plus membership. These offerings aim to increase average revenue per user and deepen customer stickiness within SoFi’s unified platform.
