Total adjusted revenue was up 24% on a year-over-year basis. Financial services revenue increased 84% year-over-year, lending segment revenue increased 18% year-over-year and technology platform revenue increased 6% year-over-year.

Net interest income of $470.2 million was up 21% year-over-year, driven by a 23% growth in average interest-earning assets and a 68 basis points decrease in cost of funds.

SoFi said it added 785,000 new members in the quarter, bringing total members up to 10.1 million, up 34% year-over-year. Product additions totaled nearly 1.1 million in the quarter.

CEO Anthony Noto noted 2024 as the company’s best year ever. Noto continued: “In the fourth quarter, our Financial Services and Tech Platform segments made up a record 49% of SoFi’s adjusted net revenue, up from 40% in the year ago quarter. These businesses grew revenue by a combined 52% year-over-year, a testament to our continued execution and deliberate shift towards capital-light, higher ROE, cash, fee based revenue streams.”

For the full year 2025, the company expects adjusted net revenue of $3.200 billion to $3.275 billion (versus consensus of $3.000 billion), which equates to approximately 23 to 26% year-over-year growth, adjusted EBITDA of $845 million to $865 million, GAAP net income of $285 million to $305 million, and GAAP EPS of $0.25 to $0.27 (versus consensus of $0.28).
