About us
Our number one goal
is helping our members
get their money right.
SoFi’s mission is to help people reach financial
independence to realize their ambitions.
And financial independence doesn’t just mean being rich—it means getting to a point where your money works for the life you want to live.
Everything we do is geared toward helping our members get their money right. We’re constantly innovating and building ways to give our members what they need to make that happen.
Values we live by.
SoFi’s core company values are at the center of everything we do—and truly reflect how we work together, serve our members, and build our products.
