SoFi Technologies delivered a blowout first quarter in 2026, reporting record results that underscored the company's transformation from a student loan refinancer into a full-scale digital banking powerhouse. SoFi earnings for Q1 2026 showed net revenue surging 43% year-over-year to $1.1 billion, while net income more than doubled to $167 million from $71 million in the year-ago period.

With 14.7 million members and 19.3 million financial services products, the company is achieving the kind of cross-selling flywheel that traditional banks have long aspired to but rarely executed at this pace.
