The company added a record 1.1 million new members, pushing total membership to 15.8 million, while management raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $4.75 billion–$4.85 billion.

"We had nothing short of an exceptional quarter… 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year, and our second quarter results mark a clear inflection point for SoFi. Despite continued market uncertainty, our business model continues to prove its durability."
Addressing reinvestment initiatives into newer verticals, Noto added:
"Our product innovation and platform expansions are unlocking entirely new TAM opportunities while delivering durable top-line growth across our core ecosystem."
