Speaker #3: The development of our loan platform business over the last 18 months has allowed us to better meet the borrowing needs of more members.

Speaker #3: Turning now to product innovation, starting with crypto, which has been a key focus over the past year. We believe the crypto supercycle that is underway will completely transform financial services enabling frictionless money movement.
Speaker #3: We are well positioned to benefit from this supercycle given our unique position as a tech company that is underpinned by the strength and stability of being a national bank.
Speaker #3: This is why we've been building a strong foundation on which we can develop and grow multiple new products and businesses and realize the benefits of crypto and blockchain across our entire ecosystem.
Anthony Noto: This is why we've been building a strong foundation on which we can develop and grow multiple new products and businesses and realize the benefits of crypto and blockchain across our entire ecosystem. In December, we took a big step forward on this journey with the launch of SoFiUSD. This made us the first national bank to launch its own stablecoin on a public permissionless blockchain. SoFiUSD is at the heart of our strategy to make it faster, cheaper, and safer for people around the world to move money. During Q1, we began minting SoFiUSD, the next step towards building compelling use cases for the coin. We also formed an important partnership with Mastercard to enable SoFiUSD settlement across their global payments network.

Speaker #3: We also formed an important partnership with Mastercard to enable SoFi USD settlement across their global payments network. This will create interoperability between digital assets and fiat currencies and eventually allow for the settlement of transactions 24 hours a day, seven days a week, versus just during business hours now.
Anthony Noto: This will create interoperability between digital assets and fiat currencies, and eventually allow for the settlement of transactions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week versus just during business hours now. This brings me to our new big business banking offering, which was officially launched earlier this month. Today, companies operating fiat and crypto are forced to use multiple providers and are left waiting days for transactions that should take seconds. As a nationally chartered bank, we saw a tremendous opportunity to bring fiat and crypto banking to businesses on a single, integrated, and fully regulated platform. Our big business banking clients can hold funds in regulated business deposit accounts with institutional-grade safeguards, move money and crypto in real time with API-driven payments, and convert fiat and crypto instantly through native SoFiUSD mint and burn capabilities while maintaining reserves within SoFi's regulated environment.

Given the breadth of our products, which extend well beyond the capabilities we acquired through Galileo and Technosys, we will be launching a new, unified brand and restructure go-to-market later this year.
Anthony Noto: Given the breadth of our products, which extend well beyond the capabilities we acquired through Galileo and Technisys, we will be launching a new unified brand and restructured go-to-market later this year. Over the coming months, we will roll out the new brand, SoFi Technology Solutions. The new brand reflects the more comprehensive set of products and services that we now offer enterprise clients across a total of four platform businesses. First, in processing, we continue to see strong momentum with our client rollouts on our modern cloud-based processing platform. We have 13 new clients that have generated revenue in Q1 that were not generating revenue a year ago, including successful implementations with fintechs and major consumer brands. We've built a healthy pipeline of additional customers and are excited to get more programs off the ground in the future.

Speaker #3: For example, in 2026, we're launching an expanded relationship with one of the top three telecommunication brands in the US and a new program with a financial services firm in the short term lending space.
Anthony Noto: For example, in 2026, we're launching an expanded relationship with one of the top 3 telecommunication brands in the US and a new program with a financial services firm in the short-term lending space. Our second platform, banking core ledgers and services, includes our modern banking core and the many turnkey API-powered solutions needed for banking as a service offerings. In this business, we are about to take a major step forward. This summer, we will complete the implementation of our new core platform with SoFi Bank, our first scaled launch with a US-regulated bank. This will serve as a launching point to bring our new banking stack to other institutions. For SoFi Bank, our new core process platform will integrate seamlessly with our payments, fraud, and card capabilities, and importantly, will support ledgering for stablecoin in day one.

Anthony Noto: In fact, the modern core will serve as the backbone for our planned crypto endeavors. We look forward to bringing this new banking stack to other institutions and building the next generation of our digital application platform. Our vision for our third technology platform business, Payment Hub, is to provide self-serve payment options across every type of money movement, including stablecoins, that are faster, cheaper, and more secure. Our API-first approach makes it easy to connect to ACH, same-day ACH, wires, FedNow, person-to-person payments, and real-time payments. Partners can manage payment flows with ease, maintain compliance, and offer a better customer's experience. We'll soon add SoFiUSD payment APIs to our big business banking offering.

Speaker #3: Within this platform, we currently offer seven products that address transaction fraud, account and identity verification, and account takeovers. Including Galileo instant verification engine for real-time API-based account verification, our payment risk platform for transaction fraud, and an identity verification service which covers advanced compliance and sanction scenarios.

These products leverage our latest models, often using over 600 data points for a single decision. We are launching additional products in 2026 to further bolster our risk and fraud offering. Turning now to innovation within our lending segment, which is driving record originations across all three loan categories. Starting with personal loans, which support our mission of helping members reach financial independence. With a SoFi personal loan, members can refinance absurdly expensive credit card debt held at other institutions so they can stop paying for other people's rewards and focus on their own financial well-being.

Speaker #3: During the first quarter, we originated record personal loan volume of 8.3 billion taking share from competition and helping even more members get their money right.
Anthony Noto: During Q1, we originated a record personal loan volume of $8.3 billion, taking share from competition and helping even more members get their money right. We see significant opportunity to help more people refinance high-interest debt, we will continue to innovate with new product features and leverage technology to improve the member experience. For example, we're rolling out our personal loan doc coach, which uses AI to validate members' pay stubs and other documents, streamlining the application experience and driving cost savings over time. We're also testing new credit model features that can leverage enhanced data pools. This has the potential to help us make even better decisions and potentially extend credit to more members in the future.

Speaker #3: SoFi Student Loans help more and more students finance their education while they are in school as well as supports students who have already graduated by helping them refinance their debt at a lower rate.
Anthony Noto: SoFi student loans help more and more students finance their education while they are in school, as well as supports students who have already graduated by helping them refinance their debt at a lower rate. Student loans have been a great way to introduce the SoFi brand and what we stand for to members early in their financial journey. Over time, we will be there as their financial needs grow, which is why the value generated by our student loan business extends well beyond the interest income we collect on the initial loans. In Q1, we had our best quarter of student loan originations ever at $2.6 billion. This is up 2.2x year over year. Originations volume is more than just a number.

Speaker #3: In Q1, we had our best quarter of student loan originations ever at 2.6 billion. This is up 2.2x year over year. But originations volume is more than just a number and generating this volume, we helped nearly 10,000 members finance their education so they can realize their ambitions and we helped over 10,000 members completely pay off their student loan debt.
Anthony Noto: In generating this volume, we helped nearly 10,000 members finance their education so they can realize their ambitions, and we helped over 10,000 members completely pay off their student loan debt. Turning to home lending, which is an area I'm particularly excited about. We've been hard at work creating a fast, seamless experience for our members who want to purchase a home, refinance an existing loan, or draw equity. Even while the overall home lending market is stagnant, momentum has been building in this business. We set origination records for 4 straight quarters, including Q1, when we originated $1.2 billion in home loans. This is up nearly 2.4x from Q1 of last year. Here too, we continue to innovate.

Speaker #3: This is up nearly 2.4x from the first quarter of last year. Here too, we continue to innovate. For example, last week we announced a new equity line of credit experience, making it possible for members to access the equity in their homes through a seamless, end-to-end experience all on the SoFi platform.
Anthony Noto: For example, last week we announced a new equity line of credit experience, making it possible for members to access the equity in their homes through a seamless end-to-end experience all on the SoFi platform. Finally, we continue to see healthy growth in our tangible book value. We recognize there has been ongoing discussion around last year's capital raises and their impact on dilution. As we previously explained, these capital raises were opportunistic, with proceeds intended to be deployed across a range of opportunities. Based on our analysis, the capital raises would not be dilutive to tangible book value on a per-share basis. This has proven to be the case.

Speaker #3: And this has proven to be the case. Our tangible book value per share increased 57% year over year to $7.21 up from $4.58 per share and is up 3% quarter over quarter from $7.01 a share.
Anthony Noto: Our tangible book value per share increased 57% year over year to $7.21, up from $4.58 per share, and is up 3% quarter over quarter from $7.01 a share. This is nearly $340 million of an increase in absolute terms. As you can see, our financial results are being driven by continuous innovation that is providing real value to our members. We continue to focus relentlessly on driving innovation and developing products and solutions to help our members navigate all the major financial decisions in their lives and every day in between. We will continue to put our members first and help them achieve their American dream. Over time, the trust that we build with our members will lead to deeper relationships.

Speaker #3: This in turn will drive a higher lifetime value per member and will power our compounding growth and returns. With that, I'll turn it over to Chris.
Anthony Noto: This, in turn, will drive a higher lifetime value per member and will power our compounding growth and returns. With that, I'll turn it over to Chris.
Anthony Noto: This, in turn, will drive a higher lifetime value per member and will power our compounding growth and returns. With that, I'll turn it over to Chris.
Speaker #2: Thank you, Anthony. We've had a solid start to the year. Our innovation and brand building is powering exceptionally strong revenue growth. In the first quarter, adjusted net revenue grew 41% to $1.1 billion.
Chris Lapointe: Thank you, Anthony. Our innovation and brand building is powering exceptionally strong revenue growth. In Q1, adjusted net revenue grew 41% to $1.1 billion. This is a further acceleration in the growth rate from the prior quarter. Importantly, we generated $1.1 billion in cash revenue in Q1, which includes approximately $690 million from net interest income and approximately $390 million from interchange fees, brokerage fees, technology and loan platform fees, and loan origination fees. Cash is defined and accounted for the same universally no matter what type of company it applies to. In Q1, these cash revenue streams were nearly equivalent to our total reported adjusted net revenue.

Speaker #2: This is a first time we have disclosed our cash revenue as we think it's a helpful financial measure to consider given the different accounting treatments companies use.
Chris Lapointe: This is the first time we have disclosed our cash revenue as we think it's a helpful financial measure to consider given the different accounting treatments companies use. As we mentioned, it's our second consecutive quarter of more than $1 billion in cash revenue, but I would also note that 100% of our reported adjusted net revenue was cash revenue in both 2024 and 2025. This means that the scale and seasoning of the loans on our balance sheet has reached the point where the upfront non-cash premiums on new originations are being balanced by pull-to-par and other mark-to-market impacts on the existing portfolio, leaving the vast majority of our reported revenue being approximately equal to our cash revenue.
Christopher Lapointe: This is the first time we have disclosed our cash revenue as we think it's a helpful financial measure to consider given the different accounting treatments companies use. As we mentioned, it's our second consecutive quarter of more than $1 billion in cash revenue, but I would also note that 100% of our reported adjusted net revenue was cash revenue in both 2024 and 2025.

Speaker #2: We have consistently said that over the life of the loan there is no difference between fair value accounting and cost accounting and we are seeing that play out in our reported results.
Chris Lapointe: We have consistently said that over the life of the loan, there's no difference between fair value accounting and cost accounting, and we are seeing that play out in our reported results. In addition to our strong revenue growth, we delivered strong profitability during the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $340 million, up 62% year-over-year at a margin of 31%. Net income was $167 million at a margin of 15%. Net income was up 2.3x year-over-year. Earnings per share was $0.12, which was negatively impacted by $0.01 due to a decrease in discrete tax benefits related to employee stock compensation given share price movement between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026. At a constant share price quarter-over-quarter, EPS would have been $0.13. This was our 10th consecutive profitable quarter.

Chris Lapointe: Turning now to our segment performance, starting with Financial Services. For Q1, Financial Services net revenue was $429 million, up 41% year-over-year. Contribution profit was $196 million, up 32% from last year. Contribution margin was 46%. Net interest income for this segment was $228 million, up 31% year-over-year, which was primarily driven by growth in member deposits. Non-interest income grew 55% to $201 million for the quarter. During the quarter, we continued to see healthy growth in interchange up 54% year-over-year, driven by nearly $25 billion in total annualized spend across money and credit card. We also had record brokerage fee revenue, which more than doubled over the past year.

Speaker #2: We also had record brokerage fee revenue which more than doubled over the past year. In terms of our loan platform business, one of our key differentiators at SoFi is having both a very strong balance sheet and an established loan platform business.
Chris Lapointe: In terms of our Loan Platform Business, one of our key differentiators at SoFi is having both a very strong balance sheet and an established Loan Platform Business, supported by a diverse set of partners that go well beyond private credit asset managers. In fact, during the quarter, we added $3.6 billion of new commitments with three new partners, including a leading global bank, a prominent insurance group, and a top five global private asset management firm. Our diverse side model allows us to efficiently channel loan volume based on a number of factors, including borrower demand, capital levels, and credit risk, with a focus on maximizing risk-adjusted returns. Each channel we utilize provides benefits to our business.

Speaker #2: Our diversified model allows us to efficiently channel loan volume based on a number of factors including borrower demand, capital levels and credit risk with a focus on maximizing risk-adjusted returns.
Speaker #2: Each channel we utilize provides benefits to our business. For example, our balance sheet lending generates stronger revenues over the life of the loan whereas LPB generates capital light fee income with no retained credit risk or lost share agreements.
Chris Lapointe: For example, our balance sheet lending generates stronger revenues over the life of a loan, whereas LPB generates capital-light fee income with no retained credit risk or loss share agreements. Having this optionality will allow us to generate more consistent growth through a variety of environments. Overall, during Q1, we saw exceptional demand from members, which is reflected in our record personal loan originations of $8.3 billion. Given our very strong capital ratios, we channeled nearly $5.4 billion of personal loans to our balance sheet and approximately $3 billion through our Loan Platform Business. This deliberate decision resulted in lower LPB originations relative to Q4, although LPB originations were up 90% year-over-year.

Speaker #2: This deliberate decision resulted in lower LPB originations relative to the fourth quarter although LPB originations were up 90% year over year. I would note that we had significant demand from LPB partners over and above what we decided to fulfill this quarter but we did fill all demand from our contractual commitments and more.
Chris Lapointe: I would note that we had significant demand from LPB partners over and above what we decided to fulfill this quarter, but we did fill all demand from our contractual commitments and more. Turning to our tech platform business, where we delivered net revenue of $75 million in the first quarter, reflecting the exit of a large client who fully transitioned off our platform prior to year-end. Contribution profit was $12 million at a contribution margin of 16%. Turning to our lending segment performance, which was very strong during the quarter. In addition to record personal loan originations of $8.3 billion, we also saw record originations in student and home loans. Student loan originations were $2.6 billion, up 2.2x from the same period last year.

Chris Lapointe: Home loan originations were $1.2 billion, up 2.4x from the prior year. For Q1, adjusted net revenue for the segment was $629 million, up 53% from the same period last year. Contribution profit was $382 million with a 61% contribution margin. These strong results were primarily driven by growth in net interest income, which increased 39% year-over-year to $500 million, the balance of the growth came from loan origination fees, which were up 36% year-over-year, and home loan sales, which were up more than 2x year-over-year. Capital markets activity was strong in Q1. We sold or transferred through our Loan Platform Business $3.8 billion of personal and home loans.

Chris Lapointe: In terms of home loan sales, we closed $765 million at a blended execution of 102.1%. Additionally, we sold $89 million of late-stage delinquent personal loans in line with prior quarters. In addition to our loan sales, we executed a $919 million securitization of loans originated on behalf of our partners through the Loan Platform Business. The transaction priced at an industry-leading cost to funds level with a weighted average spread of 86 basis points, our best execution for any securitization deal to date. To meet standard industry risk retention requirements, we contributed loans from our balance sheet that represented a 5% vertical slice across the securitization tranches. Importantly, we do not retain any first loss or horizontal risk position. Turning to credit performance.

For personal loans, the estimated all-in net charge-off rate was flat quarter-over-quarter and down nicely from a year ago. Excluding the impact of delinquent loan sales, the estimated all-in annualized net charge-off rate was 4.4%, which is the same as last quarter and down roughly 40 basis points from Q1 2025. Including the impact from the DQ sales, the net charge-off rate was 3.03%.

Speaker #2: Including the impact from the DQ sales, the net charge-off rate was 3.03%. This is up 23 basis points from the fourth quarter but down 28 basis points for the first quarter of 2025.
Chris Lapointe: This is up 23 basis points from the Q4, but down 28 basis points for the Q1 of 2025. The sequential increase was primarily a function of us maintaining consistent DQ sales of around $90 million per quarter, while our balance sheet grew at a faster pace. The on-balance sheet 90-day delinquency rate was 47 basis points, down 5 basis points from the last quarter. For student loans, the annualized charge-off rate was 65 basis points, down 11 basis points from the prior quarter. The on-balance sheet 90-day delinquency rate was just 10 basis points, down 4 basis points from the prior quarter. The data continues to support our 7% to 8% net cumulative loss assumption for personal loans in line with our underwriting tolerance, although we continue to trend below these levels.

Speaker #2: Our recent vintages originating from Q4, 2022 to Q2, 2025 have net cumulative losses of $4.64% with 36% unpaid principal balance remaining. This is well below the $6.32% observed at the same point in time for the 2017 vintage the last vintage that approached our 7 to 8 percent tolerance.
Chris Lapointe: Our recent vintages originating from Q4 2022 to Q2 2025 have net cumulative losses of 4.64% with 36% unpaid principal balance remaining. This is well below the 6.32% observed at the same point in time for the 2017 vintage, the last vintage that approached our 7% to 8% tolerance. The gap between the newer cohort curve and the 2017 cohort curve widened by 9 basis points during the quarter. In fact, this gap has widened each of the last 7 quarters since we began measurement. Additionally, looking at our Q1 2020 through Q4 2025 originations, 61% of principal has already been paid down with 6.8% in net cumulative losses.

Speaker #2: Additionally, looking at our Q1, 2020 through Q4, 2025 originations, 61% of principal has already been paid down with $6.8% in net cumulative losses. Therefore, for life alone losses on this entire cohort of loans to reach 8%, the charge-off rate on the remaining 39% of unpaid principal would need to be approximately 10%.
Chris Lapointe: Therefore, for life of loan losses on this entire cohort of loans to reach 8%, the charge-off rate on the remaining 39% of unpaid principal would need to be approximately 10%. This would be well above past levels at similar points of seasoning, further underscoring our confidence in achieving loss rates below our 8% tolerance. Turning to our fair value marks and key assumptions. As a reminder, we mark our loans at fair value each quarter, which considers a number of factors, including the weighted average coupon, the constant default rate, the conditional prepayment rate, and the discount rate comprised of benchmark rates and spreads. These marks are developed alongside a third party, which feeds our actual loan-level data into their proprietary model and are reviewed by our independent auditor as detailed in our filings.

Speaker #2: At the end of the first quarter, our personal loans were marked at 105.4% down 27 basis points from the prior quarter. This was driven by an increase in the discount rate which was due to a higher benchmark rate as well as a modest decline in WACC and a modest increase in the default rate assumption.
Chris Lapointe: At the end of Q1, our personal loans were marked at 105.4%, down 27 basis points from the prior quarter. This was driven by an increase in the discount rate, which was due to a higher benchmark rate as well as a modest decline in WAC and a modest increase in the default rate assumption. These changes were partially offset by a modest decrease in the prepayment rate. At the end of Q1, our student loans were marked at 105.2%, down 40 basis points from the prior quarter. This was driven by an increase in the discount rate due to a higher benchmark rate and was partially offset by a modest decrease in the prepayment rate.

Turning to our balance sheet, in the first quarter, total assets grew by $3 billion this was driven by $4.1 billion of loan growth partially offset by a reduction in cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities of $940 million as a result of using some of our equity to fund loans.
Chris Lapointe: In Q1, total assets grew by $3 billion. This was driven by $4.1 billion of loan growth, partially offset by a reduction in cash equivalents, and investment securities of $940 million as a result of using some of our equity to fund loans. Total company-wide cash at quarter end was $3.8 billion. On the liability side, total deposits grew by $2.7 billion to $40.2 billion, primarily driven by growth in member deposits. Our net interest margin was 5.94% for the quarter, up 22 basis points sequentially. This included a 25 basis point decrease in cost of funds, partially offset by a 2 basis point decrease in average asset yields. We continue to expect a healthy net interest margin above 5% for the foreseeable future.

Our total capital ratio of 21% at quarter end is well above the regulatory minimum of 10.5%, as well as our additional internal stress buffer. Tangible book value grew $4.2 billion year over year to $9.2 billion, including the benefit from new capital raised in 2025 as well as organic growth and earnings. The tangible book value per share at quarter end is $7.21, up from $4.58 a year ago, a 57% increase. Let me finish by providing our outlook for Q2.

Speaker #2: For the second quarter of 2026, we expect to deliver adjusted net revenue growth of approximately 30% from Q2, 2025 which would equate to roughly 1.115 billion dollars.
Chris Lapointe: For Q2 2026, we expect to deliver adjusted net revenue growth of approximately 30% from Q2 2025, which would equate to roughly $1.115 billion. Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 30%, which would equate to roughly $330 million. Adjusted net income margin of approximately 12% to 13%, which equates to roughly $0.10 to $0.11 of EPS. As I mentioned in our call in January, each year we have seasonal payroll taxes during Q1 and Q2 of the year, and we are accelerating marketing expenses in H1 2026 in addition to our significant investments in product innovation. This increased expenditure will drive growth in H2 2026 and over the long term, and is reflected in our Q2 guidance.

Speaker #2: An adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 30% which would equate to roughly $330 million. And an adjusted net income margin of approximately 12 to 13 percent which equates to roughly 10 to 11 cents of EPS.
Speaker #2: As I mentioned in our call in January, each year we have seasonal payroll taxes during the first two quarters of the year and we are accelerating marketing expenses in the first half of 2026 in addition to our significant investments in product innovation.
Speaker #2: This increased expenditure will drive growth in the back half of 2026 and over the long term, and it is reflected in our second-quarter guidance.
Speaker #2: Looking beyond Q2, we expect to see continued revenue growth and strong growth in EBITDA, net income, and EPS which will get us to our full year guidance which remains unchanged.
Chris Lapointe: Looking beyond Q2, we expect to see continued revenue growth and strong growth in EBITDA, net income, and EPS, which will get us to our full year guidance, which remains unchanged. Overall, Q1 was a solid start to the year. We continue to have strong momentum in our business and are on track to hit our 2026 and medium-term guidance. Let's now begin the Q&A.

Andrew Jeffrey: Hi. Good morning. Appreciate you taking the question. Anthony, I wonder if you can put a little finer point on the decision process by which you determine how much you want to hold on your balance sheet in terms of personal loans versus the LPB. Wouldn't it behoove the company to maximize platform sales in this environment, hence fee income? I'm just trying to understand exactly what the puts and takes are when you look at that decision every quarter.
Andrew Jeffrey: Hi. Good morning. Appreciate you taking the question. Anthony, I wonder if you can put a little finer point on the decision process by which you determine how much you want to hold on your balance sheet in terms of personal loans versus the LPB.

Speaker #6: Hi, good morning. Appreciate you taking the question. Anthony, I wonder if you can put a little finer point on the decision process by which you determine how much you want to hold on your balance sheet in terms of personal loans versus the LPB.
Speaker #6: Wouldn't it behoove the company to maximize platform sales in this environment, hence fee income? I'm just trying to understand exactly what the puts and takes are when you look at that decision every quarter.
Speaker #7: Sure. Thank you for the question. We have a lot of optionality when it comes to thinking about how to deploy our capital and how to optimize revenue and profits.
Anthony Noto: Sure. Thank you for the question. We have a lot of optionality when it comes to thinking about how to deploy our capital and how to optimize revenue and profits. Our goal, as we say each quarter, is to drive durable revenue growth through innovation and branding, and to deliver strong returns. When we think about the two options, if we're going to put loans on our balance sheet, they obviously require capital, and they have credit risk. They also have a revenue stream that lasts, you know, 2 to 3 years as it relates to personal loans. That generates really attractive net interest income to us. Obviously, there's a limit to how much we can put on our balance sheet based on our capital ratios and other risks that we're balancing.
Anthony Noto: Sure. Thank you for the question. We have a lot of optionality when it comes to thinking about how to deploy our capital and how to optimize revenue and profits. Our goal, as we say each quarter, is to drive durable revenue growth through innovation and branding, and to deliver strong returns.

Obviously, there's a limit to how much we can put on our balance sheet based on our capital ratios and other risks that we're balancing.
Speaker #7: Our goal, as we say each quarter, is to drive durable revenue growth through innovation and branding, and to deliver strong returns. And so when we think about the two options, if we're going to put loans on our balance sheet, they obviously require capital, and they have credit risk.
Speaker #7: But they also have a revenue stream that lasts two to three years as it relates to personal loans. And so that generates really attractive net interest income to us.
Speaker #7: But obviously, there's a limit to how much we can put in our balance sheet based on our capital ratios and other risks that we're balancing.
Speaker #7: LPB revenue, on the other hand, doesn't require capital. We're basically producing on behalf of somebody else. And so it doesn't have retained credit risk, and it has the cash flow upfront.
Anthony Noto: LPB revenue, on the other hand, doesn't require capital. We're basically producing on behalf of somebody else, and so it doesn't have retaining credit risk, and it has the cash flow up front. We'll use those, you know, those underlying factors, as we think about the considerations. I said on the, you know, on the prepared remarks, and what I'd say here is, the loan platform volume that we do is essentially the volume that we would not otherwise do for our balance sheet based on all the factors that I just considered. Putting less on our balance sheet may be a driver, and therefore we don't want to underwrite it, and we therefore do it with a loan platform business.
Anthony Noto: LPB revenue, on the other hand, doesn't require capital. We're basically producing on behalf of somebody else, and so it doesn't have retaining credit risk, and it has the cash flow up front. We'll use those, you know, those underlying factors, as we think about the considerations.

Putting less on our balance sheet may be a driver, and therefore we don't want to underwrite it, and we therefore do it with a loan platform business.
Speaker #7: And so we'll use those underlying factors as we think about the considerations. But I set them up on the prepared remarks, and what I'd say here is the loan platform volume that we do is essentially the volume that we would not otherwise do for our balance sheet based on all the factors that I just considered.
Speaker #7: So putting less on our balance sheet may be a driver and therefore we don't want to underwrite it, and we therefore do it with a loan platform business.
Speaker #7: Similarly, depending on what our revenue streams are, a year from now, we want more NII in that period relative to cash flow in this period.
Anthony Noto: Similarly, depending on what our revenue streams are a year from now, we want more NII in that period relative to cash flow in this period. Some people will raise the question about concerns about private credit. We're not really seeing any issues in our own performance, nor in the demand that we have for LPB revenue and loans from our partners. In fact, we have demand above our contractual obligations that we have on volume that we're producing. The volume that we put through that channel is volume that we would not otherwise do on our balance sheet because of either our concerns on credit ratios or the capital ratios or credit profile or growth overall on the balance sheet. It's a good option to have. I wouldn't think about it as maximizing near-term revenue.

But the volume that we put through that channel is volume that we would not otherwise do in our balance sheet because of either our concerns on credit ratios or the capital ratios or credit profile or growth overall on the balance sheet.
Speaker #7: So it's a good option to have. But I wouldn't think about it as maximizing near-term revenue. It's a balance between near-term and longer-term revenue.
Anthony Noto: It's a balance between near term and longer-term revenue.
Anthony Noto: It's a balance between near term and longer-term revenue.

Speaker #8: Thank you.
Speaker #6: Yep, sure. So as I mentioned in our prepared remarks, we feel really good about our 2026 outlook. We're going to be growing 30% top line, delivering 60 cents of EPS.
Chris Lapointe: As I mentioned in our prepared remarks, we feel really good about our 2026 outlook. We're going to be growing 30% top line and delivering $0.60 of EPS. From a segment perspective, as we've said in the past and in any given period, some of our segments may grow faster than expected, some may be a bit slower, but we're going to effectively allocate capital and resources to the best opportunities that we see in front of us. Given the strong start that we've had to the year, we now expect lending adjusted net revenue growth of at least 30% for the full year of 2026. We expect our tech platform net revenue to be at approximately $325 million for the full year.

Kyle Joseph: Hey, good morning, guys. Two quick questions, and hate to focus on accounting rather than results, but I get a lot of questions here. Chris, just give us your thoughts, walk through your accounting on, and rationale for capitalizing the market expenses and how you see that impacting EPS and EBITDA. Then just to follow up there, just talk about, you know, the JPMorgan facility and the difference between a loan sale versus borrowing. If you could give us some clarity on both those, much appreciated.

Speaker #9: Much appreciated.
Speaker #8: Sure. Sure. Thanks, Kyle. So in terms of the capitalized marketing costs, at a high level, what I would say is that we sometimes partner with third parties as an efficient top-of-funnel marketing channel, where we pay success-based commissions for acquiring revenue-generating money and invest members.
Chris Lapointe: Sure. Sure. Thanks, Kyle. In terms of the capitalized marketing costs, at a high level, what I would say is that we sometimes partner with third parties as an efficient top-of-funnel marketing channel where we pay success-based commissions for acquiring revenue-generating SoFi Money and SoFi Invest members. This does not include acquisition of our lending or our SoFi Credit Card members. From a high-level accounting perspective, those payments are incremental, and we're only incurring them upon successful acquisition of the member. Under ASC 340-40, they're accounted for as contract acquisition costs, which is very similar to capitalized software expenses that drive future revenue. As a result, we capitalize those costs and amortize them over the expected member life to better match the cost with the debit interchange and brokerage revenue that those members generate over time.

Speaker #8: So under ASC 34040, they're accounted for as contract acquisition costs, which is very similar to capitalized software expenses that drive future revenue. As a result, we capitalize those costs and amortize them over the expected member life.
Speaker #8: To better match the costs with the debit interchange, and brokerage revenue that those members generate over time. What's also important is that the amortization is treated as an expense in EBITDA and net income.
Chris Lapointe: What's also important is that the amortization is treated as an expense in EBITDA and net income, i.e., it lowers EBITDA and net income. We're simply aligning the timing of the cost with the revenue that it supports. As it relates to the JPMorgan loan sale, prior to September 2024, we had a senior secured loan on the balance sheet that had no affiliation with JPMorgan. In September of that same year, we opportunistically sold the loan via a special purpose entity to JPMorgan. At the time of the sale, JPMorgan held a controlling interest in the special purpose entity, and SoFi did not retain a controlling interest.

Speaker #8: In September of that same year, we opportunistically sold the loan via a special purpose entity to JPMorgan. At the time of the sale, JPMorgan held a controlling interest in the special purpose entity and so far did not retain a controlling interest.
Speaker #8: At that time and what is customary with any new loan sales, we obtained an independent third-party true sale opinion as part of confirming that the transaction met the requirements for sale accounting under GAAP, including legal isolation.
Chris Lapointe: At that time, what is customary with any new loan sales, we obtained an independent third-party true sale opinion as part of confirming that the transaction met the requirements for sale accounting under GAAP, including legal isolation. Based on that, the loan was appropriately de-recognized from our balance sheet.
Christopher Lapointe: At that time, what is customary with any new loan sales, we obtained an independent third-party true sale opinion as part of confirming that the transaction met the requirements for sale accounting under GAAP, including legal isolation. Based on that, the loan was appropriately de-recognized from our balance sheet.
Speaker #8: Based on that, the loan was appropriately derecognized from our balance sheet. And just want to emphasize one important point about the marketing expenses that are amortized.
Anthony Noto: Just want to emphasize one important point about the marketing expenses that are amortized. They are subtracted from revenue, and therefore they do result in a lower EBITDA. It is those amortized marketing costs are not excluded from EBITDA. They are expensed against revenue and lower EBITDA.

Operator: Our next question comes from Devin Ryan from Citizens JMP. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Devin Ryan: Great. Good morning. Another question on loan platform. You know, obviously good to see a few new partners and expanded capacity this quarter. Can you just characterize the current depth of demand from third-party capital providers and where there's the most interest right now? Also just how that evolved through the quarter, just given some of the pockets of volatility. It sounded like little change there, but ultimately just kind of what that pipeline looks like. On the other side of the equation, would it be good to just hear about what you're seeing from customers in terms of personal loan demand, and also how you're optimizing the funnel to move faster on originations or just even improve market awareness. Thank you.

Speaker #10: Thank you.
Chris Lapointe: Sure. I'll hit on the Loan Platform piece, and then I'll let Anthony hit on some of the personal loan stuff. On the Loan Platform Business, demand from capital partners, it remains extremely robust. We announced several partnerships last year with Blue Owl Fortress, and others, and those partnerships are going extremely well. Each of the partners is buying at their contractual level, and even above that in several quarters. Each of our partners who have come up on term in their existing contracts have extended their contracts. In addition to that, we recently signed up and announced three new partnerships totaling about $3.6 billion of commitments over the course of the next 2 years, and that comes from a large investment bank, a large asset management firm, and an insurance fund.
Christopher Lapointe: Sure. I'll hit on the Loan Platform piece, and then I'll let Anthony hit on some of the personal loan stuff.

Speaker #6: And that comes from a large investment bank, a large asset management firm, and an insurance fund. So the demand that we're seeing is pretty broad-based.
Chris Lapointe: The demand that we're seeing is pretty broad-based. It's across asset managers, it's across insurance funds, and several investment banks. We couldn't be happier with the demand that we're seeing. As Anthony mentioned, it's a great situation to be in to have the flexibility both on the balance sheet with the capital ratios that we have, as well as the demand that we're seeing from capital markets participants.
Christopher Lapointe: The demand that we're seeing is pretty broad-based. It's across asset managers, it's across insurance funds, and several investment banks.

And as Anthony mentioned, it's a great situation to be in to have the flexibility both on the balance sheet with the capital ratios that we have as well as the demand that we're seeing from capital markets participants.
Speaker #8: And then as it relates to demand, we had a record originations and personal loans and student loan refinancing as well as in home loans.
Anthony Noto: As it relates to demand, we had record originations in personal loans, in student loan refinancing, as well as in home loans. Our home loans business more than doubled year over year, and I believe our student loan business also more than doubled year over year in originations, and personal loans remains quite robust. You know, we continue to iterate and learn and innovate on every 1 of our businesses. While these businesses have scaled quite meaningfully, and they've been around and they're long-tenured, there's still innovation that can be driven. In personal loans, we continue to find new channels of demand. It is definitely a product that is primarily being used today to refinance expensive credit card debt.

Speaker #8: And so it's real savings with real amortization of expenses that help people get to a better point financially. And it gets to the point that they spend less than they make and invest the rest.
Anthony Noto: It's real savings with real amortization of expenses that help people get to a better point financially, and get to the point that they spend less than they make and invest the rest. It's a really critical product for our members. On student loan refinancing, we had the highest amount of originations that we've had in our history, which is quite remarkable. It's a product that again helps people lower their cost instantly relative to their existing federal student loans or even private student loans at a higher rate. That's a product that will definitely benefit even more so as rates go down, given the amount of savings they have today versus benchmark rates that will only improve. The savings in personal loans are dramatic.

Speaker #8: So it's a really critical product. For our members. On student loan refinancing, we had the highest amount of originations that we've had in our history, which is quite remarkable.
Speaker #8: And it's a product that, again, helps people lower the cost instantly relative to their existing federal student loans or even private student loans at a higher rate.
Speaker #8: And that's a product that will definitely benefit even more so as rates go down, given the amount of savings they have today versus benchmark rates that will only improve.
Speaker #8: The savings in personal loans are dramatic. The savings in student loans are less attractive for getting more attractive as rates come down. And then in home loans, we're iterating every day to try to get to an outcome that is super fast for our members.
Anthony Noto: The savings in student loans are less attractive, but getting more attractive as rates come down. In home loans, we're iterating every day to try to get to an outcome that is super fast for our members. We would like to ideally, and I hesitate to say this because I don't know that we'll ever get there, but we're aspirational. We would like to ideally get to a 10-day application to close on a new home on a first lien loan. Getting to 10 days would be remarkable and it'd be a unique value proposition. Again, we're trying to differentiate each one of our products based on fast selection, content, convenience, and better together.

Speaker #8: We would like to ideally, and I hesitate to say this because I don't know that we'll ever get there, but we're aspirational. We would like to ideally get to a 10-day application to close on a new home, on a first lien loan.
Speaker #8: Getting to 10 days would be remarkable. It would be a unique value proposition. Again, we're trying to differentiate each one of our products based on fast selection, content convenience, and better together.
Speaker #8: And the home loan product is largely one that I think comes down to speed, ease of use, which can be a great benefit from AI, which is what we're using to try to drive that faster experience.
Anthony Noto: The home loan product is largely one that I think comes down to speed, ease of use, which can be, you know, a great benefit from AI, which is what we're using to try to drive that faster, that faster experience. Strong growth in all three products. Credit's performing well. A lot of capital on our balance sheet. We're taking advantage of the opportunity.
Anthony Noto: The home loan product is largely one that I think comes down to speed, ease of use, which can be, you know, a great benefit from AI, which is what we're using to try to drive that faster, that faster experience. Strong growth in all three products. Credit's performing well. A lot of capital on our balance sheet. We're taking advantage of the opportunity.
Speaker #8: So strong growth in all three products. Credits performing well, a lot of capital in our balance sheet. We're taking advantage of the opportunity.
Chris Lapointe: Nate, the only other thing I would add, going back to the Loan Platform Business point and what's driving some of the demand that we're seeing from capital markets participants is just this flight to quality situation that we're seeing. We're constantly hearing from our partners that they're really pleased with the execution that they're getting on our loans, particularly with the re-securitizations that we're doing. We just did a securitization in January that was upsized, and we were able to achieve the best spread that we've ever been able to achieve on one of our securitizations. I think that's also what's driving some of the demand that we're seeing in the market.
Christopher Lapointe: Nate, the only other thing I would add, going back to the Loan Platform Business point and what's driving some of the demand that we're seeing from capital markets participants is just this flight to quality situation that we're seeing.

I think that's also what's driving some of the demand that we're seeing in the market.
Speaker #6: The only other thing I would add going back to the loan platform business, point, and what's driving some of the demand that we're seeing from capital markets participants is just this flight to quality situation that we're seeing.
Speaker #6: We're constantly hearing from our partners that they're really pleased with the execution that they're getting on our loans, particularly with the resecuritization that we're doing.
Speaker #6: We just did a securitization in January that was upsized and we were able to achieve the best spread that we've ever been able to achieve on one of our securitizations.
Speaker #6: So I think that's also what's driving some of the demand that we're seeing in the market.
Speaker #5: Our next question comes from John Hecht from Jefferies. Please go ahead, your line is open.
Operator 2: Our next question comes from John Hecht from Jefferies. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Operator: Our next question comes from John Hecht from Jefferies. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
John Hecht: Thanks, guys, for the commentary, especially on the cash-based revenue. First question is, you know, you guys have very good momentum in new member additions. I think it was like 1.1 million, which was a record this quarter. You know, like, what channels are you getting these from? Are there any changing characteristics of the new members now relative to, say, a couple years ago?
Speaker #11: Thanks, guys, for the commentary, especially on the cash-based revenue. First question is, you guys have very good momentum in new member additions—I think it was like 1.1 million, which was a record this quarter.
John Hecht: Thanks, guys, for the commentary, especially on the cash-based revenue. First question is, you know, you guys have very good momentum in new member additions. I think it was like 1.1 million, which was a record this quarter. You know, like, what channels are you getting these from? Are there any changing characteristics of the new members now relative to, say, a couple years ago?
Speaker #11: What channels are you getting these from? And are there any changing characteristics of the new members now relative to, say, a couple of years ago?
Anthony Noto: The characteristics of our member acquisition are in line with where they've been historically. You know, each business has an individual marketing plan that benefits from different channels. You know, the lending business has historically been one that relies on legacy channels such as direct mail, but it's heavily influenced by affiliate partnerships. Our SoFi Money product is a broad-based digital strategy that we leverage to drive good marketing efficiencies. Our brokerage business continues to benefit from broader selection in IPOs, alternative assets, private offerings, in addition to single stocks without commissions, our robo accounts, and our ETFs. That again, is really an affiliate and digital marketing channel acquisition product. Crypto is the new kid on the street, and we're developing new opportunities for marketing there.
Speaker #8: The characteristics of our member acquisition are in line with where they've been historically. Each business has an individual marketing plan that benefits from different channels.

Speaker #8: Our brokerage business continues to benefit from broader selection and IPOs of alternative assets, private offerings, in addition to single stocks without commissions or robo accounts in our ETFs.
Speaker #8: And that, again, is really an affiliate and digital marketing channel acquisition product. Crypto is the new kid on the street, and we're developing new opportunities for marketing there.
Speaker #8: I would say we launched crypto in a really fast get-to-market. If we didn't have the technology platform business, there's no way we'd be able to launch crypto by sell and hold in such a short time period or SoFi USD.
Anthony Noto: I would say we've launched SoFi Crypto in a really fast get to market. If we didn't have the technology platform business, there's no way we'd be able to launch SoFi Crypto buy, sell, and hold in such a short time period or SoFiUSD. We benefit from having that platform. That's something we haven't marketed aggressively yet. We wanted to make sure the product was scalable and one that was meeting the needs of our members, and we have that confirmation now. We'll continue to benefit from increased awareness of SoFi Crypto impacting the P&L. Our credit card business is actually doing pretty well, and we're excited about the changes that we've made over time. We're starting to see people transition from balance transfers with zero APRs to actually paying a full APR at a reasonable rate.
Anthony Noto: I would say we've launched SoFi Crypto in a really fast get to market. If we didn't have the technology platform business, there's no way we'd be able to launch SoFi Crypto buy, sell, and hold in such a short time period or SoFiUSD. We benefit from having that platform.

Our credit card business is actually doing pretty well, and we're excited about the changes that we've made over time. We're starting to see people transition from balance transfers with zero APRs to actually paying a full APR at a reasonable rate.
Speaker #8: And so we benefit from having that platform. That's something we haven't marketed aggressively yet. We wanted to make sure the product was scalable and one that was meeting the needs of our members.
Speaker #8: And we have that confirmation now. So we'll continue to benefit from increased awareness of SoFi crypto impacting the P&L. Our credit card business is actually doing pretty well, and we're excited about the changes that we've made over time.
Speaker #8: We're starting to see people transition from balance transfers with zero APRs to actually paying a full APR at a reasonable rate. And so that's contributing to the numbers that we reported this quarter, both on the interchange side as well as the revolving side.
Anthony Noto: That's contributing to the numbers that we reported this quarter, both on the interchange side as well as the revolving side. Our debit interchange, the amount of debit interchange we're driving today is quite significant and scaled and is also contributing. When we talked about the $390 million of non-interest cash revenue, it's now large enough and scaled enough that it's contributing to the overall business, and the marketing that we can put behind it is scaling as well. The last product that I'll mention is SoFi Plus. We launched SoFi Plus in January 2025, and it wasn't that great of a product at first.
Anthony Noto: That's contributing to the numbers that we reported this quarter, both on the interchange side as well as the revolving side.

The last product that I'll mention is SoFi Plus. We launched SoFi Plus in January 2025, and it wasn't that great of a product at first.
Speaker #8: And then our debit interchange, the amount of debit interchange we're driving today is quite significant and scaled. And it's also contributing. When we talked about the $390 million of non-interest cash revenue, it's now large enough and scaled enough that it's contributing to the overall business and the marketing that we can put behind it is scaling as well.
Speaker #8: The last product that I'll mention is SoFi Plus. We launched SoFi Plus in January of 2025. And it wasn't that great of a product at first, but like with most things we launch, we learn, we iterate, we learn, we iterate, we learn, we iterate, and we relaunch it on April 1.
Anthony Noto: Like with most things we launch, we learn, we iterate, we learn, we iterate, we learn, we iterate, and we relaunched it on 1 April, and it's doing phenomenally well. We're pretty excited about it. It's meant to be a product that's the best of SoFi in one subscription product. It's $10 a month. It's more than $1,000 of value. It's primarily a product our existing members are buying. Not only are they signing up for that product, and it's going to generate a recurring revenue stream, kind of like the net interest income that we have, that's very visible and recurring, but moreover, it's driving cross-buy. 50% of the people that sign up for SoFi Plus, which again, are largely existing members, take out another product.
Anthony Noto: Like with most things we launch, we learn, we iterate, we learn, we iterate, we learn, we iterate, and we relaunched it on 1 April, and it's doing phenomenally well.

Speaker #8: 50% of the people that sign up for SoFi Plus, which again, are largely existing members, take out another product. And so not only does it drive the direct revenue stream, it's driving additional cross-buy and building awareness of us being an everything app and financial services.
Anthony Noto: Not only does it drive the direct revenue stream, it's driving additional cross-buy and building awareness of us being an everything app in financial services.
Anthony Noto: Not only does it drive the direct revenue stream, it's driving additional cross-buy and building awareness of us being an everything app in financial services.

Speaker #12: Hey, good morning. Appreciate you guys taking the questions. One to dive a little more into the tech platform. Appreciate the segment guidance you guys gave.
Kyle Peterson: Hey. Good morning. Appreciate you guys taking the questions. Wanted to dive a little more into the tech platform. Appreciate the segment guidance you guys gave, but I guess I just want to see if you guys give any more granularity on how the year should unfold there. I know you guys have several partnerships and product wins from last year that should be going live as the year unfolds.
Kyle Peterson: Hey. Good morning. Appreciate you guys taking the questions. Wanted to dive a little more into the tech platform. Appreciate the segment guidance you guys gave, but I guess I just want to see if you guys give any more granularity on how the year should unfold there. I know you guys have several partnerships and product wins from last year that should be going live as the year unfolds.
Speaker #12: But I guess I just want to see if you guys give any more granularity on how the year should unfold there. I know you guys have several partnerships and product wins from last year that should be going live as the year unfolds.
Kyle Peterson: Also the refresh. Just see like how the year should unfold and what the different puts and takes are to get you guys there from the Q1 run rate.
Speaker #12: And also the refresh. So just see how the year should unfold and what the different puts and takes are to get you guys there from the 1Q run rate.
Kyle Peterson: Also the refresh. Just see like how the year should unfold and what the different puts and takes are to get you guys there from the Q1 run rate.
Speaker #8: Sure. Chris gave you a specific guide for the year on revenue. Clearly, the business revenue was negatively impacted by the loss of one large customer, which we've talked about in the past, so that shouldn't have been a surprise.
Anthony Noto: Sure. Chris gave you a specific guide for the year on revenue. Clearly, the business revenue was negatively impacted by the loss of one large customer, which we've talked about in the past, so that shouldn't have been a surprise. The tech platform revenue, if you do like for like on a year-over-year basis, was up about 12% year-over-year. We expect that the year-over-year growth rate on a like-for-like basis to accelerate throughout the year, both from our existing members' growth as well as new partner adds. We mentioned in the prepared remarks that we have 13 new partners that have launched in Q1 2026 and generated revenue in Q1 2026 that were not generating revenue in Q1 2025. That revenue will scale over time. It doesn't come instantly.

Speaker #8: Both from our existing members' growth as well as new partner ads. We mentioned in the prepared remarks that we have 13 new partners that have launched in Q1 2026 and generated revenue in Q1 2026 that were not generating revenue in Q1 of 2025.
Speaker #8: So that revenue will scale over time. It doesn't come instantly. We also have one partner in the quarter that had an existing installed base, and so that's contributing we have another integration that will take place throughout the year of a large installed partner a large partner with a large installed customer base which will generate revenue as well.
Anthony Noto: We also have one partner in the quarter that had an existing installed base, and so that's contributing. We have another integration that will take place throughout the year of a large installed partner, a partner with a large installed customer base, which will generate revenue as well. One of the things that may be hard for people to understand is the significant benefit that we have from owning the technology platform on our own innovation. Obviously, the resources there aren't unlimited. We made the decision last year to build out crypto buy, sell, and hold, made the decision to launch SoFiUSD. Those products are launched, and they'll start to generate revenue in 2026. That'll be incremental, but they definitely used resources that would otherwise be used for other partners and other services.
Anthony Noto: We also have one partner in the quarter that had an existing installed base, and so that's contributing.

Speaker #8: That will be incremental. But they definitely used resources that would otherwise be used for other partners and other services. We're excited about the strategy that we have, and SoFi Technology Solutions and the four areas being processing core banking and ledgers, payment hub, as well as risk platform.
Anthony Noto: We're excited about the strategy that we have in SoFi Technology Solutions and the four areas being processing, core banking and ledgers, Payment Hub, as well as risk platform. That go-to-market against those four products will help us build good sustained growth. Our objective is to get back to 20% to 25% compounding growth over the years to come. This is obviously a year in which revenue is going to be disappointed because of the loss of that large customer, but we'll try to continue to outperform it and deliver on the numbers that Chris shared with you earlier.

Operator: Our next question comes from Peter Christiansen from Citi. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Speaker #13: Good morning. Thanks for the question. Anthony, I'm just curious, how are you thinking about where we are on the credit cycle generally? Obviously, credit performance was pretty good this quarter.
Pete Christiansen: Good morning. Thanks for the question. Anthony, I'm just curious how you're thinking about where we are in the credit cycle generally. Obviously, credit performance was pretty good this quarter, with the backdrop of, you know, certainly, higher tax refunds this year. I guess there's some perception that some underlying data that's pointing to things could get a little bit more challenging later this year, given geopolitical, political macro stress. Just curious on how you're planning the business around some of these perceptions. Thank you.
Pete Christiansen: Good morning. Thanks for the question. Anthony, I'm just curious how you're thinking about where we are in the credit cycle generally. Obviously, credit performance was pretty good this quarter, with the backdrop of, you know, certainly, higher tax refunds this year.

Speaker #13: With the backdrop of certainly higher tax refunds this year, I guess there's some perception that some underlying data that's pointing to things could get a little bit more challenging.
Speaker #13: Later this year, given geopolitical macro stress, just curious on how you're planning business around some of these perceptions. Thank you.
Speaker #8: Yeah. Credit performance has been strong as we reported. We have a early warning dashboard that looks across a number of macro and microeconomic factors in the performance of our own loans as well.
Anthony Noto: Yeah. Credit performance has been strong as we reported. We have a, you know, a early warning dashboard that looks across a number of macro and microeconomic factors in the performance of our own loans as well. If that turns yellow and then red, we reduce the tiers that we're willing to underwrite. We're not in that situation in any way, shape, or form. The current loans are performing well. The macro is also continuing to perform well. Not only are we seeing, you know, the strong trends in our own loans across the three that we operate in, we're also seeing strong demand from loan platform business buyers and otherwise more broadly. You know, we have a lot of capital on the balance sheet. We have the flexibility to meet the demand from the consumers.
Anthony Noto: Yeah. Credit performance has been strong as we reported. We have a, you know, a early warning dashboard that looks across a number of macro and microeconomic factors in the performance of our own loans as well.

Speaker #8: The current loans are performing well. The macro is also continuing to perform well. And not only are we seeing the strong trends in our own loans across the three that we operate in, we're also seeing strong demand from loan platform business buyers and otherwise more broadly.
Speaker #8: We have a lot of capital on the balance sheet. We have the flexibility to meet the demand from the consumers. So you have the combination of strong demand from consumers plus strong performance in credit and adequate capital.
Anthony Noto: You have the combination of strong demand from consumers plus strong performance in credit and adequate capital. We'd be nuts not to be able to meet that demand, and hold some of it on our balance sheet and continue to generate increasing net interest income. As Chris talked about, we had $690 million of cash net interest income, and we want to continue to grow that. It's a great baseline of revenue that allows us to invest aggressively because it's super profitable in these other areas, which helps build up the other revenue stream, which is the non-interest cash revenue of $390 million. For those that aren't familiar, that $390 million reported in the quarter represents the interchange from debit and credit cards.

Speaker #8: And these other areas, which helps build up the other revenue stream, which is the non-interest cash revenue of $390 million. And for those that aren't familiar, that $390 million reported in the quarter represents the interchange from debit and credit cards.
Speaker #8: It represents the fees from loan platform business, our technology revenue, our brokerage revenue, and our referral fee revenue, as well as origination fees that consumers pay us.
Anthony Noto: It represents the fees from Loan Platform Business, our technology revenue, our brokerage revenue, and our referral fee revenue, as well as origination fees that consumers pay us, and it's a cash number.
Anthony Noto: It represents the fees from Loan Platform Business, our technology revenue, our brokerage revenue, and our referral fee revenue, as well as origination fees that consumers pay us, and it's a cash number.
Speaker #8: And it's a cash number.
Speaker #5: And our last question today will come from Don Fendetti from Wells Fargo. Please go ahead, your line is open.
Operator 2: Our last question today will come from Donald Fandetti from Wells Fargo. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Operator: Our last question today will come from Donald Fandetti from Wells Fargo. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Speaker #14: Hi, good morning. Home lending, it's obviously a large market. You've had some growth there. Would you consider doing anything on the acquisition side, sort of building on what you've done in the past?
Donald Fandetti: Hi. Good morning. Home lending, you know, is obviously a large market, and you've had some growth there. Would you consider doing anything on the acquisition side, sort of building on what you've done in the past? If not here, like, where would you look for potential acquisitions?
Donald Fandetti: Hi. Good morning. Home lending, you know, is obviously a large market, and you've had some growth there. Would you consider doing anything on the acquisition side, sort of building on what you've done in the past? If not here, like, where would you look for potential acquisitions?
Speaker #14: And if not here, where would you look for a potential acquisitions?
Speaker #8: You know, the M&A market is very vibrant. There's a lot of assets for sale. We're remaining disciplined and looking for things that can help us accelerate strategically.
Anthony Noto: You know, the M&A market is very vibrant. There's a lot of assets for sale. We're remaining disciplined and looking for things that can help us accelerate strategically. We feel like we've done the right acquisitions in home loans, that that's not an area that we're currently focused on. It's really driving organic growth, continue to optimize the operation to quickly meet our members' needs. We're still investing a lot in home loans. As I mentioned, the business more than doubled from an origination standpoint year over year, so we're doing a much better job meeting the needs of our members. As it relates to M&A more broadly, I would say we're prioritizing, you know, things tied specifically to SoFi Technology Solutions, the technology platform business.
Anthony Noto: You know, the M&A market is very vibrant. There's a lot of assets for sale. We're remaining disciplined and looking for things that can help us accelerate strategically. We feel like we've done the right acquisitions in home loans, that that's not an area that we're currently focused on.

Anthony Noto: We've talked about the fact that we would like to have revolving credit processing as well as a core tied to that. As we mentioned in the prepared remarks, on 1 July, we will launch SoFi Bank on a new modern core as well as ledger, and that will unlock a lot of other capabilities that we'll bring to our partners, including simultaneously launching big business banking with an API format and an exchange network for fiat and cryptocurrencies. The areas that we would probably prioritize from an M&A standpoint are really in the technology space, specifically, revolving credit as well as crypto and blockchain services. We want to build out the same infrastructure services that we have in fiat and crypto. Staking as a service, stablecoins as a service, wallet as a service, et cetera.
