2023 $37 billion
2022 $22 billion
2021 $11 billion

Since SoFi only went public at the end of 2020, we couldn’t find additional information about the company’s AUM for the preceding years. However, for the subsequent years, we relied on the annual report to calculate AUM, which combines the loans provided by SoFi with the deposits in Investment accounts and Checking and Savings accounts.

SoFi Users

In the third quarter of 2023 (Q3-2023), SoFi almost reached a milestone of 7 million users. It’s important to notice that these users are referred to as “SoFi members” by the company, and they adhere to a specific principle outlined by SoFi: “Once someone becomes a member, they are always considered a member unless they violate the terms of service.”. It’s essential to note that not all of these 7 million users are necessarily active.

Despite this, SoFi has experienced significant growth in the past year, increasing its user base by an impressive 47%, as highlighted in the Q3 2023 Investor Presentation. This growth signifies a substantial influx of new clients choosing SoFi, showcasing the company’s expanding user base and market presence.

Average Revenues Per User

The Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is a critical metric for evaluating a company’s revenue generation efficiency. It is obtained by dividing the total revenue for a given period by the average of users for that same period.

SoFi Average Revenue per user 2019 $462
SoFi Average Revenue per user 2020 $335
SoFi Average Revenue per user 2021 $292
SoFi Average Revenue per user 2022 $295
SoFi Average revenue per user 2023 $283
SoFi Average revenue Q3 2024* $157

*refers to the cumulative revenues for the first three quarters of 2024.

The figures show that SoFi’s ARPU has decreased over the years, beginning at $462 in 2019 and falling to $283 in 2023. This key metric provides valuable insights into SoFi’s revenue generation strategy and operational efficiency. However, the decline in ARPU may not necessarily indicate poor productivity; it could be attributed to factors outside of SoFi’s control, such as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when a vast number of investors joined the platform.

SoFi Profit

 The company experienced a substantial net loss of -$484 million in 2021, and although its losses decreased to -$320 million in 2022. In 2024, SoFi is on track to be profitable for the first time! Still, these financial results underscore the challenges SoFi faces in expanding its business.

Taking a closer look, it’s evident that SoFi has significantly expanded its investment segment. Comparing Q3-2019, where SoFi had 268 thousand products, to the following year, the number surged to 1.606 million—an impressive year-over-year increase of nearly 500%. By the third quarter of 2024, SoFi’s investment segment boasted a remarkable 11.760 million products, outpacing the lending segment, which had 1.891 million. While the investment segment experienced substantial growth, the lending sector also exhibited stability with incremental year-over-year increases, though not as pronounced. 

Let’s now take a closer look at the main contributors for which segment in the third quarter of 2024:

Q3 – 2024: Investment Segment

Q3 – 2024: Lending Segment

Personal Loans 1.305 million
Student Loans 0.552 million
Home Loans 0.034 million

Valuation

SoFi’s growth is also evident in its increasing valuation, which has surged over the years. However, a notable setback occurred post-2021, with the company’s valuation plummeting from $12.76 billion to $4.28 billion in the subsequent year (2022). 

Significantly, key executives, including President Chad Morton, CRO Aaron Webster, and CMO Lauren Stafford Webb, have recently sold a notable amount of company shares, raising concerns. On the other hand, CEO Anthony Noto and CFO Chris Lapointe have actively boosted confidence in SoFi by purchasing shares.
