SoFi Technologies, Inc. (“SoFi”), the digital personal finance company, has been named to CNBC’s list of the World’s Top Fintech Companies 2023. This prestigious award is presented by CNBC and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
“We’re thrilled to be featured on CNBC’s first list of World’s Top Fintech Companies, highlighting our continued growth and commitment to helping our members get their money right by giving them the tools to spend better, save better, invest better, and protect better,” said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi. “SoFi knows consumers are increasingly looking for digital-first solutions and, since receiving our bank charter last year, we’ve continued to improve our offerings and provide a better digital banking experience for anyone and everyone.”
SoFi was honored in the Neobanking category for the first-ever list of World’s Top Fintech Companies.
In 2022, SoFi obtained a national bank license¹, allowing the company to remain incredibly flexible in a rapidly changing environment while also bolstering and diversifying the company’s sources of funding. Shortly after, SoFi Checking and Savings was launched, offering members more control over their money management. Since launch, SoFi Checking and Savings has offered a highly competitive annual percentage yield (APY), including up to 4.50%² on savings balances for members with direct deposit, 10x³ the national average savings rate.
SoFi members grew by more than 44% year-over-year, with the company helping more than 6.2 million people get their money right by halfway through 2023 with a full suite of financial products and services designed to help them at every stage in their financial life.
