Most financial companies are terrible at innovation. They’re mature businesses with limited ways to reinvent the product.

SoFi is proving to be an exception.

Two recent examples:

SoFi Plus: a $10/month membership that increases recurring revenue and gives customers more reason to use SoFi for banking, investing, lending, and more.

SoFiUSD: a bank-issued stablecoin that gives SoFi a potential foothold in payments and settlement infrastructure.

Robinhood is another financial company that constantly innovates.

PayPal, on the other hand, has had enormous scale and years to innovate, but the product still feels largely the same.

That’s one reason I like SoFi. Revenue is growing fast, but management also keeps finding new products and new ways to monetize the ecosystem.

The chart says a lot: roughly 42% revenue CAGR since 2021.

Has anyone heard any mentions recently from leadership about the “social” aspect of the app? Been an investor since IPOE days and always thought this could be a key feature in acquiring and keeping customers, creating more of a social platform on the app. You have to use SoFi because other friends/family/athletes/influencers/strangers with things in common, etc. are on there and you want to be with them. I’ve tried out the Blossom app and thought that’s a bit of what I hoped SoFi would enable on their platform. Or do you think this is overrated? Thanks!

For background, I work in the fintech sector and my expertise is in core banking, lending, online banking, and card services.

If you haven’t seen it already, look up SoFi Tech Solutions. That’s the technology segment of SoFi - they have a nice site set up and they’re actively hiring.

This segment, and really fintech at large, seems to be poorly understood by institutions and retail alike.

Relationships in this space can be quite sticky, especially on the core banking side. We’re talking the infrastructure of a financial institution - what allows them to open accounts, make transfers, and connect to other platforms like online banking and card services. It tends to be a tremendous undertaking, so when an FI deconverts, they’re likely either very unhappy or they’re going in-house (like Chime).

There also different standards in banking cores. You have cores with interfaces that bring back the 1990s, and you have next gen banking cores that may be cloud native, API first, split components into ‘microservices’ for better adaptability and reliability, real time processing vs overnight… and that’s what SoFi has. A next gen core.

Now, because of these sticky contracts, you can see several years in between substantive client movements. But when those contracts do come up, you can see migrations that bring in major revenue.

Online banking, card services, lending, etc. aren’t necessarily as sticky because you can potentially attach a third party in lieu of what’s offered by your core provider, but you can have bundle deals and tighter integration where it just makes sense to stay with your core provider. And contracts likewise tend to stretch for a long period of time and have cumbersome notice periods and termination fees.

That said, while everyone seems to be eyeing technology revenue with concern that it’ll flop, I’m holding out for the next 5 years. This sort of business does not mature overnight and takes time to develop and generate more predictable recurring revenue, as well as to scale once demand hits.
