Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • SOFI's cross-buy rate rose to 51%, up from 43% in the prior quarter and 35% a year earlier.
  • SOFI added 1.1 million members and 2.2 million products, lifting totals to 15.8 million and 24.4 million.
  • SoFi Plus surpassed 200,000 paid subscribers, while fee-based revenues reached $472.3 million.

SoFi Technologies’ (SOFI - Free Report) cross-buy momentum strengthened in the second quarter of 2026, with 51% of new products opened by existing members. That was up from 43% in the prior quarter and 35% a year earlier, showing that more customers are adding products after joining the platform.

The trend came alongside record member and product growth. SoFi added 1.1 million members in the second quarter, lifting total members to 15.8 million, up 35% year over year. Product additions reached a record 2.2 million, pushing total products to 24.4 million, up 42%.

Products per member also rose to an all-time high of 1.54 compared with 1.51 in the first quarter. Management linked the improvement to broader awareness of SoFi’s product range and stronger use of its Financial Services Productivity Loop, which is designed to deepen engagement across the platform.

SoFi Plus is playing a larger role in that strategy. The company surpassed 200,000 paid subscribers after relaunching the service with enhanced benefits. Among existing members who signed up for SoFi Plus, 25% added another product, while management said Invest saw the strongest follow-on demand.

Higher engagement is also supporting revenue diversification. Financial Services products reached 21.3 million, up 43% year over year, and represented 87% of total products. Fee-based revenues climbed to $472.3 million or 39% of total revenues, aided by loan platform fees, interchange, brokerage and origination fees. The company also reported $28 billion in annualized spending across SoFi Money and Credit Card, helping interchange revenues rise 55% year over year in the second quarter.

How Are Competitors Faring?
