SoFi TechnologiesSOFI is betting that SoFi Coach can turn its growing member base into deeper, longer relationships. Launched in June 2026, the GenAI financial guide uses data across SoFi and linked outside accounts to answer personal finance questions and help members make better decisions about spending, saving, borrowing and investing over time and at scale.
Early engagement looks encouraging. Management said Coach has already handled nearly 500,000 conversations, with more than 90% receiving positive feedback. More than half of those conversations focused on investing, giving SoFi real-time insight into members' financial needs and where additional products or services may fit naturally.
The timing matters because SoFi’s member ecosystem is expanding quickly. The company ended the second quarter with 15.8 million members, up 35% year over year, while total products rose 42% to 24.4 million. Products per member reached 1.54, and 51% of new products were opened by existing members.
Coach could strengthen that cross-buy trend by connecting personalized financial advice with SoFi’s broader “Everything App.” The platform includes banking, investing, credit cards, loans, crypto and SoFi Plus. Management says Coach draws on data linked to 12,000 financial institutions, 6.5 billion transactions and roughly $750 billion in outstanding balances.
The growing engagement could support stronger member economics over time. SoFi generated $1.2 billion of adjusted net revenues in second quarter, up 40%, while fee-based revenues reached $472 million or 39% of adjusted net revenues. Financial Services and Technology Platform revenues together totaled $551 million, giving Coach a broad base for monetization.
How Are Competitors Faring?
Robinhood MarketsHOOD is emerging as a formidable SoFi competitor by expanding beyond trading into banking, retirement, advisory, crypto and private markets.

Chime Financial, Inc.CHYM is intensifying competition with SoFi by deepening its primary-account relationship and expanding into investing, lending and employer-linked financial services. In second-quarter 2026, Chime Enterprise signed Allied Universal and another national retailer as employer partners. Active Members rose 20% year over year to 10.4 million, adding 1.7 million net members.
