In the third quarter of 2023 (Q3-2023), SoFi almost reached a milestone of 7 million users.

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 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.
