SoFi offers comprehensive financial services, which “is a significant competitive advantage over neobank competitors who tend to focus on niche offerings,” the analyst wrote.

The company’s “streamlined product offering makes it well-positioned versus legacy consumer finance providers including traditional banks who are viewed by younger cohorts as being outdated, not fee-friendly, and have friction in the cross-selling process given business segments tend to operate in silos,” Chiaverini added.
