Today, its extensive portfolio includes not only personal loans, mortgages, and student loans but also robust investing and banking services, and even unique career services.

Customer Views

What They Like

Customers consistently praise SoFi for its diverse product ecosystem, which allows members to conveniently manage multiple financial aspects—from loans and investments to banking—all within a single, integrated platform. A significant draw is its unique "member benefits," such as access to complimentary career coaching and personalized financial planning resources, which go beyond typical lending services. The company is highly distinguished by its focus on a tech-forward, mobile-first experience, with a highly rated application that simplifies comprehensive financial management. Its reputation is built on innovation, a strong sense of community, and a commitment to helping financially responsible individuals optimize their financial lives.

What They Dislike

While widely lauded for its innovative approach and comprehensive offerings, some online reviews highlight mixed experiences with customer service, with occasional reports of slow response times or difficulties in resolving complex issues. Furthermore, SoFi's underwriting criteria can be quite strict, often requiring applicants to have high credit scores and stable income, which can limit accessibility for some borrowers who do not meet these stringent requirements for their most competitive products.

's customers are saying...

Point was great!!!! They gave me money from my home equity when no one else would. I did not qualify for refi or reverse mortgage. They were fast and the customer service was great. I recommend them, highly.

I think is a better alternative to refinance similar in my opinion to a reverse mortgage. your immediate cash flow is not impacted if what you are trying to do is control your cashflow by eliminating smaller loans that do impact your current cashflow.
Jose Castillo
This HEI was a perfect fit for me. Retired and on a fixed income, I found I was paying interest on home equity loans each month. I never seemed to be able to reduce those loans, which meant I was cash-poor each and every month. I was able to pay off all those loans, leaving me with some cash each month. The payoff will happen when I sell my home in the future.

The Point process was a lifesaver for me. It allowed me to get completely out of a lot of debt and to make the changes I wanted to make in my house to enjoy my old age. The application process was very easy - just get in what they ask you for as timely as possible. Crystal and John were two of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. They both got things done as fast as possible - we closed in a month. I see this, especially for elderly people who don't have a lot of equity in their home and can't do a reverse mortgage, as another good option.
