CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. This includes, without limitation, statements regarding the financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for our future operations. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “possible”, “potential”, “predict”, “project”, “should”, “strive”, “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include, for example, statements about:
• the effect of and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic (including any government responses thereto);
• our ability to achieve and maintain profitability in the future;
• the impact on our business of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;
• our ability to become a bank holding company and acquire a national bank charter;
• our ability to respond to general economic conditions;
• our ability to manage our growth effectively and our expectations regarding the development and expansion of our business;
• our ability to access sources of capital, including debt financing and other sources of capital to finance operations and growth;
• the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to expand our member base;
• our ability to grow market share in existing markets or any new markets we may enter;
• our ability to develop new products, features and functionality that are competitive and meet market needs;
• our ability to realize the benefits of our strategy, including what we refer to as our financial services productivity loop;
• our ability to make accurate credit and pricing decisions or effectively forecast our loss rates;
• our ability to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting;
• our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq;
• our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination;
• the outcome of any legal or governmental proceedings that may be instituted against us; and
• other factors detailed under Part II, Item 1A “ Risk Factors ”.
These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Risk Factor Summary
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, which illuminate challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and the growth of our business. The following considerations, among others, may offset our competitive strengths or have a negative effect on our business strategy, which could cause a decline in the price of shares of our securities and result in a loss of all or a portion of your investment:
• We have a history of losses and may not achieve profitability in the future.
• We operate in a rapidly evolving industry, and have limited experience in our Financial Services and Technology Platform segments, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
• We have experienced rapid growth in recent years, including through the addition of new lines of business, which may place significant demands on our operational, administrative, compliance and financial resources.
• There is no assurance that our revenue and business models will be successful.
• We are acquiring a national bank, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, and, if consummated, the acquisition will subject us to significant additional regulation.
• Legislative and regulatory policies and related actions in connection with student loans could have a material adverse effect on our student loan portfolios and future originations.
• Our results of operations and future prospects depend on our ability to retain existing, and attract new, members. We face intense and increasing competition and, if we do not compete effectively, our competitive positioning and our operating results would be harmed.
• Negative publicity could result in a decline in our member growth, or a loss of members, and have a material adverse effect on our business, our brand and our results of operations.
• We sell a significant percentage of our unsecured loans to a small number of whole loan purchasers and the loss of one or more significant purchasers could have a negative impact on our operating results.
• Galileo, the technology platform-as-a-service we acquired in May 2020, depends on a small number of customers, the loss or disruptions in operations of any of which could have a material adverse effect on its business and financial results, and negatively impact our financial results and results of operations.
• Changes in business, economic, or political conditions could impact our business, resulting in lower revenues and other adverse effects to our results of operations.
• Legislative and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic uncertainty could have a material adverse effect on our current loan portfolios and our loan origination volume.
• We operate in a cyclical industry. In an economic downturn, we may not be able to grow our lending business or maintain expected levels of liquidity, loss minimization and revenue growth.
• If we do not make accurate credit and pricing decisions or effectively forecast our loss rates, our business and financial results will be harmed, and the harm could be material.
• We offer personal loans which have a limited performance history and have not yet been tested in multiple down-cycle economic conditions.
• We service all of the personal loans that we originate and have limited loan servicing experience, and we rely on third parties to service the student loans and mortgage loans that we originate. A failure by us or these third parties to service loans properly could result in lost revenue and impact our liquidity.
• Fluctuations in interest rates could negatively affect our business.
• If one or more of our warehouse facilities, on which we are highly dependent, is terminated, we may be unable to find replacement financing on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
• Higher than expected payment speeds of loans could negatively impact our returns as the holder of the residual interests in securitization trusts holding student and personal loans. These factors could materially alter our net interest income or the value of our residual interest holdings.
• Increases in member default rates on loans could make us and our loans less attractive to whole loan buyers, lenders under debt warehouse facilities and investors in securitizations, which may adversely affect our access to financing and our business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• We require substantial capital and, in the future, may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and achieve recurring profitability. If adequate capital is not available to us, including due to the cost and availability of funding in the capital markets, our business, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.
• Our Lending segment is highly regulated, and if we fail to comply with federal and state consumer protection laws, rules, regulations and guidance, our business could be adversely affected.
• Changes in consumer finance and other applicable laws and regulations, as well as changes in enforcement policies and priorities, may negatively impact the management of our business, results of operations, ability to offer certain products or the terms and conditions upon which they are offered, and ability to compete.
• Our Financial Services segment is subject to the regulatory framework applicable to investment management and broker-dealers, including regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Financial Industry Regulation Authority (“FINRA”).
• The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies and digital assets is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may alter our business practices with respect to digital assets. There has recently been an increased regulatory and enforcement focus in this area.
• Litigation, regulatory actions and compliance issues could subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments, remediation costs, negative publicity, changes to our business model, and requirements resulting in increased expenses.
• If we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the trading price of our common stock may decline.
• Incorrect estimates or assumptions by management in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements could adversely affect our reported assets, liabilities, income, revenue or expenses.
• Cyber-attacks and other security breaches could have an adverse effect on our business, harm our reputation and expose us to liability.
• Various disruptions or failures affecting our platform and/or systems or any third-party processor we utilize could result in slowdowns or wholesale failures to process and enable transactions on our platform, including collecting payments on loans and maintaining accurate accounts.
• We are subject to complex and stringent data protection and privacy laws and regulations. Any significant or high profile data privacy breach or violation of data privacy laws could result in the loss of business and reputation, litigation against us, liquidated and other damages, and regulatory investigations and penalties that could adversely affect our reputation and operating results and financial condition.
The risks described above should be read together with the text of the full risk factors described in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as in other documents that we file with the SEC. Our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. Certain statements in “Risk Factors” are forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” herein.

Note 1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards
Organization
Social Finance, Inc. (“Social Finance”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Agreement”) with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. V (“SCH”) on January 7, 2021. The transactions contemplated by the terms of the Agreement were completed on May 28, 2021 (the “Closing”), in conjunction with which SCH changed its name to SoFi Technologies, Inc. (hereafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as “SoFi”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”, unless the context otherwise requires). The transactions contemplated in the Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Business Combination”. See Note 2 for additional information on the Business Combination.
SoFi Technologies, Inc. is a financial services platform. SoFi was founded in 2011 to offer an innovative approach to the private student loan market by providing student loan refinancing options. Since its founding, SoFi has expanded its lending strategy to offer home loans, personal loans and credit cards. The Company has also developed non-lending financial products, such as money management and investment product offerings, and has also leveraged its financial services platform to empower other businesses. Through strategic acquisitions made during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company expanded its investment product offerings into Hong Kong, and now also operates as a platform-as-a-service for a variety of financial service providers, providing the infrastructure to facilitate core client-facing and back-end capabilities, such as account setup, account funding, direct deposit, authorizations and processing, payments functionality and check account balance features. For additional information on these business combinations, see Note 2. These activities form the Company’s three reportable segments through which we conduct our business: Lending, Financial Services and Technology Platform. For additional information on our reportable segments, see Note 16.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and certain consolidated VIEs. All intercompany accounts were eliminated in consolidation. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We condensed or omitted certain notes and other financial information from the interim financial statements presented herein. The financial data and other information disclosed in these Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated statements included in our prospectus filing on Form 424B3 filed with the SEC on May 7, 2021. In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.
As a result of the Business Combination completed on May 28, 2021, prior period share and per share amounts presented in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these related notes have been retroactively converted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations . See Note 2 for additional information.
Use of Judgments, Assumptions and Estimates
The preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities. These judgments, assumptions and estimates include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) fair value measurements; (ii) stock-based compensation expense, and (iii) business combinations. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and, therefore, actual results may differ from our estimates and assumptions.

Business Combinations
We account for acquisitions of entities or asset groups that qualify as businesses using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations . Purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, which are measured in accordance with the principles outlined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . The determination of fair value requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature. The excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our results of operations beginning from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the allocation of purchase consideration and to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to the extent that additional information becomes available. After this period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Business Combination with SCH during the period ended June 30, 2021 was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. See Note 2 for additional information.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
We enter into arrangements in which we originate loans, establish a special purpose entity (“SPE”), and transfer loans to the SPE. We retain the servicing rights of those loans and hold additional interests in the SPE. We evaluate each such arrangement to determine whether we have a variable interest. If we determine that we have a variable interest in an SPE, we then determine whether the SPE is a VIE. If the SPE is a VIE, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, such that we must consolidate the VIE on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. To determine if we are the primary beneficiary, we identify the most significant activities and determine who has the power over those activities, and who absorbs the variability in the economics of the VIE. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had 13 and 15 consolidated VIEs, respectively, on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 4 for more details regarding our consolidated VIEs. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was one and one consolidated VIE, respectively, which did not have securitization debt.
We periodically reassess our involvement with each VIE in which we have a variable interest. We monitor matters related to our ability to control economic performance, such as management of the SPE and its underlying loans, contractual changes in the services provided, the extent of our ownership, and the rights of third parties to terminate us as the VIE servicer. In addition, we monitor the financial performance of each VIE for indications that we may or may not have the right to absorb benefits or the obligation to absorb losses associated with variability in the financial performance of the VIE that could potentially be significant to that VIE, which we define as a variable interest of greater than 10 %.
A significant change to the pertinent rights of us or other parties, or a significant change to the ranges of possible financial performance outcomes used in our assessment of the variability of cash flows due to us, could impact the determination of whether or not a VIE should be consolidated in future periods. VIE consolidation and deconsolidation may lead to increased volatility in our financial results and impact period-over-period comparability. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with consolidated VIEs is limited to our investment, which is eliminated in consolidation. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments by third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of our variable interests in consolidated VIEs.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We use a three-level fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires us to use observable inputs when available and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:
• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.
12
TABLE OF CONTENTS
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
• Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or observable inputs other than quoted prices.
• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities for which there is little or no market data, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Instruments are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the significance of unobservable factors in the overall fair value measurement. As a result, the related gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in Note 7 may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.
Transfers of Financial Assets
The transfer of an entire financial asset and, to a much lesser extent, a participating interest in an entire financial asset in which we surrender control over the asset is accounted for as a sale if all of the following conditions are met:
• the financial asset is isolated from the transferor and its consolidated affiliates as well as its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership;
• the transferee or beneficial interest holders have the right to pledge or exchange the transferred financial asset; and
• the transferor, its consolidated affiliates and its agents do not maintain effective control over the transferred financial asset.
Loan sales are aggregated in the financial statements due to the similarity of both the loans transferred and servicing arrangements. The portion of our income relating to ongoing servicing and the fair value of our servicing rights are dependent upon the performance of the sold loans. We measure the gain or loss on the sale of financial assets as the net assets received from the sale less the carrying amount of the loans sold. The net assets received from the sale represent the fair value of any assets obtained or liabilities incurred as part of the transaction, including but not limited to cash, servicing assets, retained securitization investments and recourse obligations.
When securitizing loans, we employ a two-step transaction that includes the isolation of the underlying loans in a trust and the sale of beneficial interests in the trust to a bankruptcy-remote entity. Transfers of financial assets that do not qualify for sale accounting are reported as secured borrowings. Accordingly, the related assets remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and continue to be reported and accounted for as if the transfer had not occurred. Cash proceeds received from these transfers are reported as liabilities, with related interest expense recognized over the life of the related secured borrowing.
As a component of the loan sale agreements, we make certain representations to third parties that purchase our previously-held loans, some of which include Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) repurchase requirements and all of which are standard in nature and do not constrain our ability to recognize a sale for accounting purposes. Any significant estimated post-sale obligations or contingent obligations to the purchaser of the loans arising from these representations are accrued if probable and estimable. Pursuant to ASC 460, Guarantees , we establish a loan repurchase liability, which is based on historical experience and any current developments which would make it probable that we would buy back loans previously sold to third parties at the historical sales price. The loan repurchase liability is presented within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the corresponding charges recorded within noninterest income — loan origination and sales in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted deposits with financial institutions in checking, money market and short-term certificate of deposit accounts. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits, certificate of deposit accounts held on reserve, money market funds held by consolidated VIEs, funds reserved for committed stock purchases, and collection balances. These accounts are earmarked as restricted because these balances are either member balances held in our custody, cash segregated for regulatory purposes associated with brokerage activities, escrow requirements for certain debt facilities and derivative agreements, deposits required by various bank holding companies we partner with (“Member Banks”) that support one or more of our products, loan collection balances awaiting disbursement, or represent consolidated VIE cash balances that we cannot use for general operating purposes.
Loans
As of June 30, 2021, our loan portfolio consisted of personal loans, student loans and home loans, which are measured at fair value, and credit card loans, which are measured at amortized cost, and which we began originating in the third quarter of 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we also had a commercial loan, which is further discussed below.
Loans Measured at Fair Value
Our personal loans, student loans and home loans are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and, therefore, all direct fees and costs related to the origination process are recognized in earnings as earned or incurred. We elected the fair value option to measure these loans, as we believe that fair value best reflects the expected economic performance of the loans, as well as our intentions given our gain on sale origination model. We record the initial fair value measurement and subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the changes occur within noninterest income — loan origination and sales in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Our consolidated loans are originated with the intention to sell to third-party investors and are, therefore, considered held for sale. Securitized loans are assets held by consolidated SPEs as collateral for bonds issued, for which fair value changes are recorded within noninterest income — securitizations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Gains or losses recognized upon deconsolidation of a VIE are also recorded within noninterest income — securitizations .
Loans do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. We determine the fair value of our loans using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it becomes available. We classify loans as Level 3 because the valuations utilize significant unobservable inputs.
We consider a loan to be delinquent when the borrower has not made the scheduled payment amount within one day of the scheduled payment date, provided the borrower is not in school or in deferment, forbearance or within an agreed-upon grace period. Loan deferment is a provision in the student loan contract that permits the borrower to defer payments while enrolled at least half time in school. During the deferment period, interest accrues on the loan balance and is capitalized to the loan when the loan enters repayment status, which begins when the student no longer qualifies for deferment.
Whereas deferment only relates to student loans, forbearance applies to student loans, personal loans and home loans. A borrower in repayment may generally request forbearance for reasons including a FEMA-declared disaster, unemployment, economic hardship or general economic uncertainty. Forbearance typically cannot exceed a total of 12 months over the life of the loan. If forbearance is granted, interest continues to accrue during the forbearance period and is capitalized to the loan when the borrower resumes making payments. At the conclusion of a forbearance period, the contractual monthly payment is recalculated and is generally higher as a result.
Delinquent loans are charged off after 120 days of nonpayment or on the date of confirmed loss, at which time we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest as of such date. Additional information about our loans measured at fair value is included in Note 3 through Note 5, as well as Note 7.
Loans Measured at Amortized Cost
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, loans measured at amortized cost included credit card loans. We launched our credit card product in the third quarter of 2020, which was expanded to a broader market in the fourth quarter of 2020. Our credit card loan portfolio had a carrying value of $ 42,167 and $ 3,723 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we also issued a commercial loan, which had a principal balance of $ 16,500 and
14
TABLE OF CONTENTS
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
accumulated unpaid interest of $ 12 as of December 31, 2020, all of which was repaid during January 2021. For loans measured at amortized cost, we present accrued interest within loans in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires upfront recognition of lifetime expected credit losses using a current expected credit loss model. As of June 30, 2021, the standard was applicable to (i) cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents, (ii) accounts receivable from contracts with customers, inclusive of servicing related receivables, (iii) margin receivables, which were attributable to our activities at 8 Limited, (iv) certain loan repurchase reserves representing guarantees of credit exposure, and (v) loans measured at amortized cost, including credit card loans. Our approaches to measuring the allowance for credit losses on the applicable financial assets are as follows:
Cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents : Our cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents are short-term in nature and of high credit quality; therefore, we determined that our exposure to credit losses over the life of these instruments was immaterial.
Accounts receivable from contracts with customers : Accounts receivable from contracts with customers as of the balance sheet dates are recorded at their original invoice amounts reduced by any allowance for credit losses. In accordance with the standard, we pool our accounts receivable, all of which are short-term in nature and arise from contracts with customers, based on shared risk characteristics to assess their risk of loss, even when that risk is remote. Certain of our historical accounts receivable balances did not have any write-offs. We use the aging method and historical loss rates as a basis for estimating the percentage of current and delinquent accounts receivable balances that will result in credit losses. We consider whether the conditions at the measurement date and reasonable and supportable forecasts about future conditions warrant an adjustment to our historical loss experience. In applying such adjustments, we primarily evaluate changes in customer creditworthiness, current economic conditions, expectations of near-term economic trends and changes in customer payment terms and collection trends. For the measurement dates presented herein, given our methods of collecting funds, and that we have not observed meaningful changes in our customers’ payment behavior, we determined that our historical loss rates remained most indicative of our lifetime expected losses.
When we determine that a receivable is not collectible, we write off the uncollectible amount as a reduction to both the allowance and the gross asset balance. Recoveries are recorded when received and credited to provision for credit losses. Accrued interest is excluded from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account receivable may result in an additional allowance for credit losses being recognized in the period in which the change occurs. See Note 6 for additional information on our accounts receivable.
Margin receivables : Our margin receivables, which are associated with margin lending services we offer to members through 8 Limited and which we acquired in 2020, are fully collateralized by the borrowers’ securities under collateral maintenance provisions, to which we regularly monitor adherence. Therefore, using the practical expedient in ASC 326-20-35-6, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses , we did not record expected credit losses on this pool of margin receivables, as the fair value of the underlying collateral is expected to exceed the amortized cost of the receivables.
Loan repurchase reserves : We issue financial guarantees related to certain non-agency loan transfers, which are subject to repurchase based on the occurrence of certain credit-related events within a specified amount of time following loan transfer, which does not exceed 90 days from origination. We estimate the contingent guarantee liability based on our historical repurchase activity for similar types of loans and assess whether adjustments to our historical loss experience are required based on current conditions and forecasts of future conditions, as appropriate, as our exposure under the guarantee is short-term in nature. See Note 14 for additional information on our guarantees.
Credit card loans : Our estimates of the allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $ 691 and $ 219 , respectively. Our credit card loan portfolio consists of small balance, homogenous loans. We pool credit card loans using ten internal risk tier categories. We assign the risk tier of our credit card loans primarily based on credit scores, such as FICO, and by utilizing a proprietary risk model that relies on other attributes from credit bureau data to model account-level charge off probability. These pools are reassessed periodically to confirm that all loans within each pool continue to share similar risk characteristics. We establish an allowance for the pooled credit card loans within each internal risk tier using a combination of historical industry and bureau data, which are then adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and
15

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
supportable forecasts of future conditions, including economic conditions. We apply the probability-of-default and loss-given-default methods to the drawn balance of credit card loans within each internal risk tier to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses within each tier, which are then aggregated to determine the allowance for credit losses. We estimate the average life over which expected credit losses may occur for the pools of credit card loans within each risk tier using both internal data and historical industry data for credit card loans with comparable risk profiles, which primarily reflects expectations of future payments on the credit card account. Similarly, we estimate the expected annual loss rate for the pools of credit card loans within each risk tier using historical credit bureau data for credit card loans with comparable risk profiles. We do not measure credit losses on the undrawn credit exposure, as such undrawn credit exposure is unconditionally cancellable by us. Management further considers an evaluation of overall portfolio credit quality based on indicators such as changes in our credit decisioning process, underwriting and collection management policies; the effects of external factors, such as regulatory requirements; general economic conditions; and inherent uncertainties in applying the methodology. The assignment of internal risk tiers and determination of comparable industry and credit bureau data involves subjective management judgment.
When necessary, we apply a separate credit loss methodology to assets that have deteriorated in credit quality and, as such, no longer share similar risk characteristics with other assets in the pool. We either estimate the allowance for credit losses on such assets with deteriorated credit quality individually based on individual risk characteristics or as part of a separate pool of assets that shares similar risk characteristics. This was not material for the periods presented.
Credit card loans are reported as delinquent when they become 30 or more days past due. Credit card loans are charged off after 180 days of nonpayment or on the date of the confirmed loss, at which time we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest through interest income as of such date. When a credit card loan is charged off, we record a reduction to the allowance and the credit card loan balance. When recovery payments are received against charged off credit card loans, we record a direct reduction to the provision for credit losses and resume the accrual of interest. Credit card receivables associated with alleged or potential fraudulent transactions are charged off through noninterest expense — general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Credit card loans charged off due to delinquency during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were immaterial. There were no credit card loans on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Credit card loans charged off due to alleged or potential fraudulent transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $ 341 . Accrued interest receivables written off during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were immaterial.
We elected to exclude interest on credit card loans from the measurement of our allowance, as our policy allows for accrued interest to be reversed in a timely manner. Further, we elected the practical expedient to exclude the accrued interest component of our credit card loans from the quantitative disclosures presented in accordance with the guidance.
Credit Quality Indicators
The primary credit quality indicators that are important to understanding the overall credit performance of our credit card borrowers and their ability to repay are reflected by delinquency status and our internal risk tier categories. The Company monitors these credit quality indicators on an ongoing basis.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of our credit card loan portfolio (excluding accrued interest and before the allowance for credit losses) by either current or delinquency status as of the dates indicated:

Servicing Rights
Each time we enter into a servicing agreement, we determine whether we should record a servicing asset, servicing liability, or neither a servicing asset nor liability. We elected the fair value option to measure our servicing rights subsequent to initial recognition. We measure the initial and subsequent fair value of our servicing rights using a discounted cash flow methodology, which includes our contractual servicing fee, ancillary income, prepayment rate assumptions, default rate assumptions, a discount rate commensurate with the risk of the servicing asset or liability being valued, and an assumed market cost of servicing, which is based on active quotes from third-party servicers. For servicing rights retained in connection with loan transfers that do not meet the requirements for sale accounting treatment, there is no recognition of a servicing asset or liability.
Servicing rights are initially measured at fair value and recognized as a component of the gain or loss from sales of loans and the initial capitalization is reported within noninterest income — loan origination and sales in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Servicing rights are measured at fair value at each subsequent reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in earnings in the period in which they occur. Subsequent measurement changes, including servicing fee payments and fair value changes, are included within noninterest income — servicing in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). We elected the fair value option to measure our servicing rights to better align with the valuation of our loans, which are impacted by similar factors, such as conditional prepayment rates. We consider the risk of the assets and the observability of inputs in determining the classes of servicing rights. We have three classes of servicing assets: personal loans, home loans and student loans. No servicing was acquired or assumed from a third party during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. There is prepayment and delinquency risk inherent in our servicing rights, but we currently do not use any instruments to mitigate such risks.
See Note 7 for the key inputs used in the fair value measurements of our classes of servicing rights.
Securitization Investments
In Company-sponsored securitization transactions that meet the applicable criteria to be accounted for as a sale, we retain certain residual interests and asset-backed bonds. We measure these investments at fair value on a recurring basis. Gains and losses related to our securitization investments are reported within noninterest income — securitizations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). We determine the fair value of our securitization investments using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it becomes available. We classify the residual investments as Level 3 due to the reliance on significant unobservable valuation inputs. We classify asset-backed bonds as Level 2 due to the use of quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are not active, as well as certain factors specific to us.

Our residual investments accrete interest income over the expected life using the effective yield method pursuant to ASC 325-40, Investments — Other, which reflects a portion of the overall fair value adjustment recorded each period on our residual investments. On a quarterly basis, we reevaluate the cash flow estimates over the life of the residual investments to determine if a change to the accretable yield is required on a prospective basis. Additionally, we record interest income associated with asset-backed bonds over the term of the underlying bond using the effective interest method on unpaid bond amounts. Interest income on residual investments and asset-backed bonds is presented within interest income — securitizations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
See Note 7 for the key inputs used in the fair value measurements of our residual investments and asset-backed bonds.
Equity Method Investments
We purchased a 16.7 % interest in Apex Clearing Holdings, LLC (“Apex”) for $ 100,000 in December 2018, which represented our only significant equity method investment at the time. We recorded our portion of Apex equity method earnings within noninterest income — other in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and as an increase to the carrying value of our equity method investment in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognized equity method earnings on our investment in Apex of $ 2,599 and $ 3,596 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, which included basis difference amortization. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we invested an additional $ 145 in Apex.
The seller of the Apex interest had call rights over our initial equity interest in Apex (“Seller Call Option”) from April 14, 2020 to December 14, 2023, which rights were exercised in January 2021. Therefore, we ceased recognizing Apex equity investment income subsequent to the call date. As of December 31, 2020, we measured the carrying value of the Apex equity method investment equal to the call payment that we received in January 2021 of $ 107,534 . There was no equity method investment balance as of June 30, 2021.
We did no t receive any distributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.
We also had an equity method investment balance related to a residential mortgage origination joint venture, which was discontinued in the third quarter of 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the earnings related to this joint venture were immaterial.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We enter into derivative contracts to manage future loan sale execution risk. We did not elect hedge accounting, as management’s hedging intentions are to economically hedge the risk of unfavorable changes in the fair value of our student loans, personal loans and home loans. Our derivative instruments include interest rate futures, interest rate options, interest rate swaps, interest rate lock commitments (“IRLC”), credit default swaps and mortgage pipeline hedges. The interest rate futures, interest rate options and mortgage pipeline hedges are measured at fair value and categorized as Level 1 fair value assets and liabilities, as all contracts held are traded in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and quoted prices are accessible by us at the measurement date. The interest rate swaps are measured at fair value and categorized as Level 2 fair value assets and liabilities, as all contracts held are traded in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and other observable inputs are available at the measurement date. IRLCs are categorized as Level 3 fair value assets and liabilities, as the fair value is highly dependent on an assumed loan funding probability. Changes in derivative instrument fair values are recognized in earnings as they occur. Depending on the measurement date position, derivative financial instruments are presented within other assets or accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In addition, in the past we have entered into derivative contracts to hedge the market risk associated with some of our non-securitization investments, which are also presented within other assets or accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We did not elect hedge accounting.

(2) The loss recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was inclusive of a $ 22,487 gain on credit default swaps that were opened and settled during the period.
(3) IRLCs are not an economic hedge of loan fair values.
(4) For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the gain was recorded within noninterest income — other in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). We did not have any such derivative contracts to hedge our non-securitization investments during the 2021 periods.
Certain derivative instruments are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. Accordingly, we present our net asset or liability position by counterparty in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, since our cash collateral balances do not approximate the fair value of the derivative position, we do not offset our right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral against recognized derivative assets or liabilities. As of June 30, 2021, our derivative instruments were in liability positions totaling $ 1,081 , with no offsetting asset positions and cash collateral of $ 888 related to our master netting arrangements. As of December 31, 2020, our derivative instruments were in liability positions totaling $ 2,955 , with no offsetting asset positions and cash collateral of $ 1,746 related to our master netting arrangements. The cash collateral was included within restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 7 for additional information on our derivative assets and liabilities. Our derivative instruments are reported within net cash provided by operating activities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Residual Interests Classified as Debt
For residual interests related to consolidated securitizations, the residual interests held by third parties are presented as residual interests classified as debt in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We measure residual interests classified as debt at fair value on a recurring basis. We record subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the change occurs within noninterest income — securitizations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). We determine the fair value of residual interests classified as debt using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it becomes available. We classify the residual interests classified as debt as Level 3 due to the reliance on significant unobservable valuation inputs.
We recognize interest expense related to residual interests classified as debt over the expected life using the effective yield method, which reflects a portion of the overall fair value adjustment recorded each period on our residual interests classified as debt. Interest expense related to residual interests classified as debt is presented within interest expense — securitizations and warehouses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). On a quarterly basis, we reevaluate the cash flow estimates to determine if a change to the accretable yield is required on a prospective basis.
See Note 7 for the key inputs used in the fair value measurements of residual interests classified as debt.

Loan Origination and Sales Activities
We measure our loans at fair value and, therefore, all direct fees and costs related to the origination process are recognized in earnings as earned or incurred. Direct fees, which primarily relate to home loan originations, and direct loan origination costs are recorded within noninterest income — loan origination and sales and noninterest expense — cost of operations , respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
As part of our loan sale agreements, we may retain the rights to service sold loans. We calculate a gain or loss on the sale based on the sum of the proceeds from the sale and any servicing asset recognized, less the carrying value of the loans sold. Our gain or loss calculation is also inclusive of repurchase liabilities recognized at the time of sale.
For our credit card loans, direct loan origination costs are deferred within other assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the privilege period, which we have determined to be 12 months, within interest income — loans in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we amortized $ 102 of deferred costs into interest income and had a remaining balance of deferred costs of $ 1,124 within other assets as of June 30, 2021.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , in each of our revenue arrangements, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects our expected consideration in exchange for those goods or services.
Disaggregated Revenue
The table below presents revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of service, which best depicts how the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors, and by the reportable segment to which each revenue stream relates.

Technology Platform Fees
Commencing in May 2020 with our acquisition of Galileo, we earn Technology Platform fees for providing an integrated platform as a service for financial and non-financial institutions. Within our technology platform fee arrangements, certain contracts contain a provision for a fixed, upfront implementation fee related to setup activities, which represents an advance payment for future technology platform services. Our implementation fees are recognized ratably over the contract life, as we consider the implementation fee partially earned each month that we meet our performance obligation over the life of the contract. We had deferred revenues of $ 2,686 and $ 2,520 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are presented within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized revenue of $ 182 and $ 338 , respectively, associated with deferred revenues within noninterest income — Technology Platform fees in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized revenue of $ 76 and $ 76 , respectively, associated with deferred revenues.
Sales commissions: Capitalized sales commissions presented within other assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which are incurred in connection with obtaining a technology platform-as-a-service contract, were $ 558 and $ 527 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, we incur ongoing monthly commissions, which are expensed as incurred, as the benefit of such sales efforts are realized only in the period in which the commissions are earned. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, commissions recorded within noninterest expense — sales and marketing in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) were $ 961 and $ 1,770 , respectively, of which $ 79 and $ 143 , respectively, represented amortization of capitalized sales commissions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, commissions were $ 262 and $ 262 , of which $ 18 and $ 18 represented amortization of capitalized sales commissions.

Enterprise Services
Commencing in the second quarter of 2021, enterprise services also includes fees for providing advisory services in connection with helping operating companies successfully complete the business combination process, inclusive of obtaining the required shareholder votes. The amount of revenue is recorded on a gross basis within noninterest income — other in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), as we fully control the fulfillment of our performance obligation acting in the capacity of a principal. Out-of-pocket expenses associated with satisfying the performance obligation are recognized at the time the related revenue is recognized and presented as part of noninterest expense — general and administrative .
Underwriting Fees
Commencing in the second quarter of 2021, we earned underwriting fees related to our membership in underwriting syndicates for initial public offerings. The underwriting of securities is the only performance obligation in our underwriting agreements, and we recognize underwriting fees on the trade date. Moreover, we are a principal in our underwriting agreements, because we demonstrate the requisite control over the satisfaction of the performance obligation through the assumption of underwriter liability for our designated share allotment. As such, we recognize underwriting fee revenue on a gross basis within noninterest income — other in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Contract Assets
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable, net associated with revenue from contracts with customers was $ 30,410 and $ 23,278 , respectively, which was reported within other assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Loss Contingencies
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded in accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such liabilities and associated expenses are recorded when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such estimates are based on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability and record an estimate in the period in which the adjustment is probable and an amount or range can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertainties of loss contingencies, estimates may be different from the actual outcomes. With respect to legal proceedings, we recognize legal fees as they are incurred within noninterest expense — general and administrative in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). See Note 14 for discussion of contingent matters.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
We did not adopt any accounting standards during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Recent Accounting Standards Issued, But Not Yet Adopted
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which clarifies the scope of Topic 848 for certain derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting or contract price alignment. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 were both effective upon issuance and may be applied to contract modifications from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are in the process of reviewing our borrowings and Series 1 redeemable preferred stock dividends that utilize LIBOR as the reference rate and are evaluating options for modifying such arrangements in accordance with the provisions of the standard and the potential impact that such modifications may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity . This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments, amends the guidance on derivative scope exceptions for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and modifies the guidance on diluted earnings per share calculations as a result of these changes. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2. Business Combinations
Merger with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. V
On January 7, 2021, Social Finance entered into the Agreement by and among Social Finance, SCH, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, and Plutus Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SCH (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Social Finance. Upon the Closing on May 28, 2021, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Social Finance survived the merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCH. On May 28, 2021, SCH also filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which SCH was domesticated as a Delaware corporation, changing its name from “Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. V” to “SoFi Technologies, Inc.” These transactions are collectively referred to as the “Business Combination”.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization whereby SCH was determined to be the accounting acquiree and Social Finance to be the accounting acquirer. This accounting treatment is the equivalent of Social Finance issuing stock for the net assets of SCH, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Social Finance. At the Closing, we received gross cash consideration of $ 764.8 million as a result of the reverse recapitalization, which was then reduced by:
• A redemption of redeemable common stock (classified as temporary equity) of $ 150.0 million;
• A Special Payment (as defined in Note 9), which was accounted for as an embedded derivative, and made to our Series 1 preferred stockholders of $ 21.2 million (which was expensed as incurred); and
• Our equity issuance costs.
In connection with the Business Combination, Social Finance incurred $ 27.5 million of equity issuance costs, consisting of advisory, legal, share registration and other professional fees, which are recorded within additional paid-in capital as a reduction of proceeds. We paid $ 0.6 million of the equity issuance costs during 2020.
In connection with the Business Combination, SCH entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “Third Party PIPE Investors”), whereby it issued 122,500,000 shares of common stock at $ 10.00 per share (“PIPE Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $ 1.225 billion (“PIPE Investment”), which closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination. Upon the Closing, the PIPE Shares were automatically converted into shares of SoFi Technologies common stock on a one-for-one basis.
Upon the Closing, holders of Social Finance common stock received shares of SoFi Technologies common stock in an amount determined by application of the exchange ratio of 1.7428 (“Exchange Ratio”), which was based on Social Finance’s implied price per share prior to the Business Combination. Additionally, holders of Social Finance preferred stock (with the exception of the Series 1 preferred stockholders) received shares of SoFi Technologies common stock in amounts determined by application of either the Exchange Ratio or a multiplier of the Exchange Ratio, as provided by the Agreement.

During March 2021, the Company and Golden Pacific Bancorp, Inc. (“Golden Pacific”), a California corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Bank Merger”), by and among the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
23

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
Company and Golden Pacific, pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in Golden Pacific and thereby acquire its wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Pacific Bank, National Association (“Golden Pacific Bank”), for total cash purchase consideration of $ 22.3 million, of which approximately $ 0.7 million could be held back by the Company in escrow (“Holdback Amount”) if certain legal proceedings with which Golden Pacific is involved as a plaintiff are not resolved at the time the Bank Merger closes. The Holdback Amount will be used for further financing or costs incurred associated with the litigation and any remaining amount upon resolution of the litigation will be released to the Golden Pacific shareholders. Alternatively, if the legal proceedings are resolved prior to the close of the Bank Merger and a favorable settlement is received, the merger consideration will be increased by the amount of such proceeds, net of all fees and expenses and taxes payable in respect of such proceeds, such that the settlement will be returned to the Golden Pacific shareholders.
Golden Pacific is duly registered as a bank holding company with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Golden Pacific Bank is a national banking association duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States and is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). Deposit accounts of Golden Pacific Bank are insured by the FDIC through the Deposit Insurance Fund to the fullest extent permitted by law. The closing of the Bank Merger is subject to regulatory approval, including approval from the OCC of a revised business plan for Golden Pacific Bank, and approval from the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company and for a change of control, and other customary closing conditions, which the Company anticipates can be completed by the end of 2021. The Bank Merger will be accounted for as a business combination. The purchase consideration will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition is not expected to be a significant acquisition under ASC 805 or Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05. In March 2021, the Company submitted an application to the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company. The application review process is ongoing.
Acquisition of Galileo Financial Technologies, Inc.
On May 14, 2020, we acquired Galileo Financial Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Galileo”) by acquiring 100 % of the outstanding Galileo stock as of that date. Galileo primarily provides technology platform services to financial and non-financial institutions. Our acquisition of Galileo enabled us to diversify our business from primarily consumer-based to also serve institutions that rely upon Galileo’s integrated platform as a service to serve their clients.
The following table presents the components of the purchase consideration to acquire Galileo:
Cash paid $ 75,633
Seller note 243,998
Fair value of preferred stock issued (1)
813,413
Fair value of common stock options assumed (2)
32,197
Total purchase consideration $ 1,165,241
___________________
(1) The preferred stock issued was subject to adjustment as part of the closing net working capital calculation, which was finalized in April 2021 and reduced the total purchase price consideration, as reflected herein and discussed below. See Note 9 for additional information. As of June 30, 2021, there were no remaining open items with regard to the purchase price allocation process for Galileo.
(2) We contemporaneously converted outstanding options to acquire common stock of Galileo into corresponding options to acquire common stock of SoFi (“Replacement Options”) at an exchange ratio of one Galileo option to 3.83 Replacement Options.
Upon the finalization of the closing net working capital calculation in April 2021, the total purchase price consideration was reduced by $ 743 , which was settled through the return to SoFi of an equivalent value of 83,856 previously issued Series H-1 preferred stock, which were retired upon receipt. In April 2021, the adjustment similarly reduced the carrying value of

recognized goodwill, and did not impact the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the transaction. There were no other adjustments to goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
None of the goodwill recognized is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is primarily attributable to synergies expected from leveraging SoFi’s resources to further build upon Galileo’s product offerings, scaling Galileo’s operations and expanding its market reach. As such, the goodwill is fully allocated to the Technology Platform segment.
Identifiable intangible assets at the date of acquisition included finite-lived intangible assets with a gross carrying amount of $ 388,000 , as follows:
Gross Carrying Amount
Weighted Average Useful Life (Years)
Developed technology
$ 253,000 8.6
Customer-related
125,000 3.6
Trade names, trademarks and domain names

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information presents the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2020:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, 2020 June 30, 2020
Total net revenue $ 127,190 $ 226,468
Net income (loss) 5,214 ( 112,424 )
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have been achieved, nor is it indicative of future results of operations.
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information reflects pro forma adjustments that give effect to applying the Company’s accounting policies and certain events the Company believes to be directly attributable to the acquisition. The pro forma adjustments primarily include:
• incremental straight-line amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets;
• adjustments to depreciation expense resulting from accounting policy alignment between the acquirer and acquiree;
• incremental accretion of interest on the seller note;
• incremental post-combination stock-based compensation expense associated with the Replacement Options as if they had been granted on January 1, 2020;
• incremental acquisition-related costs; and
• the related income tax effects, at the statutory tax rate applicable for the period, of the pro forma adjustments noted above.
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not give effect to any anticipated cost savings, operating efficiencies or other synergies that may be associated with the acquisition, or any estimated costs that have been or will be incurred by the Company to integrate the assets and operations of Galileo.
Other Acquisitions
On April 28, 2020, the Company acquired 100 % of the outstanding stock of 8 Limited, a Hong Kong brokerage services firm, for total consideration of $ 16,126 , consisting of $ 561 in cash and $ 15,565 in fair value of Social Finance common stock issued. Of the 2,240,005 shares of Social Finance’s common stock issuable in connection with the acquisition, 1,919,356 shares were issued at the date of acquisition and the remaining issuable common stock is subject to certain representations and warranties and is expected to be issued within 18 months of the date of acquisition. The share awards issued in connection with

this acquisition have both performance and service-based requirements. The excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $ 10,239 was allocated to goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. As the acquisition was not determined to be a significant acquisition as contemplated in ASC 805, the Company did not disclose the pro forma impact of this acquisition to the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Identifiable intangible assets at the date of acquisition included finite-lived intangible assets for developed technology, customer-related contracts and broker-dealer license and trading rights with an aggregate fair value of $ 5,038 . The intangible assets are being amortized over a period of 3.6 to 5.7 years based on the estimated economic benefit derived from each of the underlying assets.

Company elected to purchase $ 15,185 and $ 15,185 , respectively, of previously sold loans from certain investors. The Company was not required to buy back these loans. The remaining purchases during the periods presented related to standard representations and warranties pursuant to our various loan sale agreements.
(2) Changes in fair value of loans are recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) within noninterest income — loan origination and sales for loans held on the balance sheet prior to transfer to a third party through a sale or to a VIE and within noninterest income — securitizations for loans in a consolidated VIE. Changes in fair value are impacted by valuation assumption changes, as well as sales price execution and amount of time the loans are held prior to sale. The estimated amount of gains (losses) included in earnings attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk were $( 9,038 ) and $ 7,385 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $( 2,111 ) and $ 7,112 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The gains (losses) attributable to instrument-specific credit risk were estimated by incorporating our current default and loss severity assumptions for the loans. These assumptions are based on historical performance, market trends and performance expectations over the term of the underlying instrument.
Note 4. Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated VIE s
The Company consolidates certain securitization trusts in which we have a variable interest and are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Our consolidation policy is further discussed in Note 1.
The VIEs are SPEs with portfolio loans securing debt obligations. The SPEs were created and designed to transfer credit and interest rate risk associated with consumer loans through the issuance of collateralized notes and trust certificates. The Company makes standard representations and warranties to repurchase or replace qualified portfolio loans. Aside from these representations, the holders of the asset-backed debt obligations have no recourse to the Company if the cash flows from the underlying portfolio loans securing such debt obligations are not sufficient to pay all principal and interest on the asset-backed debt obligations. We hold a significant interest in these financing transactions through our ownership of a portion of the residual interest in certain VIEs. In addition, in some cases, we invest in the debt obligations issued by the VIE. Our investments in consolidated VIEs eliminate in consolidation. The residual interest is the first VIE interest to absorb losses should the loans securing the debt obligations not provide adequate cash flows to satisfy more senior claims and is, by design, the interest that we expect to absorb the expected gains and losses of the VIE. The Company’s exposure to credit risk in sponsoring SPEs is limited to our investment in the VIE. VIE creditors have no recourse against our general credit.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs that were included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets in the below table may only be used to settle obligations of consolidated VIEs and were in excess of those obligations as of the dates presented. Additionally, the assets and liabilities in the table below exclude intercompany balances, which eliminate upon consolidation:

___________________
(1) Debt is presented net of debt issuance costs and debt premiums (discounts).
Nonconsolidated VIEs
We have created and designed personal loan and student loan trusts to transfer associated credit and interest rate risk associated with the loans through the issuance of collateralized notes and residual certificates. We have a variable interest in the nonconsolidated loan trusts, as we own collateralized notes and residual certificates in the loan trusts that absorb variability. We also have continuing, non-controlling involvement with the trusts as the servicer. As servicer, we have the power to perform the
29
TABLE OF CONTENTS
SoFi Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
activities which most impact the economic performance of the VIE, but since we hold an insignificant financial interest in the trusts, we are not the primary beneficiary. We define an insignificant financial interest as less than 10% of the expected gains and losses of the VIE. This financial interest represents the equity ownership interest in the loan trusts, wherein there is an obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from residual certificate ownership. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with the nonconsolidated VIE is limited to our investment. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments by third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of our variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs.
Personal Loans
We established one personal loan trust during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and one personal loan trust during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which were not consolidated as of the corresponding balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had investments in seven and nine nonconsolidated personal loan VIEs, respectively.
We did not provide financial support to any personal loan trusts beyond our initial equity investment during the periods presented. We did no t deconsolidate any personal loan VIEs during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We deconsolidated two personal loan VIEs during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which were originally consolidated in 2017.
Student Loans
We established three student loan trusts during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and three student loan trusts during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which were not consolidated as of the corresponding balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had investments in 23 and 20 nonconsolidated student loan VIEs, respectively.
We did not provide financial support to any student loan trusts beyond our initial equity investment during the periods presented. We did no t deconsolidate any student loan VIEs during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We consolidated one student loan VIE during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that was also deconsolidated during the period.
The following table presents the aggregate outstanding value of asset-backed bonds and residual interests owned by the Company in nonconsolidated VIEs, which were included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
June 30, December 31,
2021 2020
Personal loans
$ 43,257 $ 71,115
Student loans
364,525 425,820
Securitization investments
$ 407,782 $ 496,935
Note 5. Transfers of Financial Assets
We regularly transfer financial assets and account for such transfers as either sales or secured borrowings depending on the facts and circumstances. When a transfer of financial assets qualifies as a sale, in many instances we have continued involvement as the servicer of those financial assets. As we expect the benefits of servicing to be more than just adequate, we recognize a servicing asset. Further, in the case of securitization-related transfers that qualify as sales, we have additional continued involvement as an investor, albeit at insignificant levels relative to the expected gains and losses of the securitization. In instances where a transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing, we perform servicing (but we do not recognize a servicing asset) and typically maintain a significant investment relative to the expected gains and losses of the securitization. In whole loan sales, we do not have a residual financial interest in the loans, nor do we have any other power over the loans that would constrain us from recognizing a sale. Additionally, we have no repurchase requirements related to transfers of personal loans, student loans and non-FNMA home loans other than standard origination representations and warranties, for which we record a liability based on expected repurchase obligations. For FNMA home loans, we have customary FNMA repurchase requirements, which do not constrain sale treatment but result in a liability for the expected repurchase requirement.

(1) Deconsolidation of debt reflects the impacts of previously consolidated VIEs that became deconsolidated during the period because we no longer held a significant financial interest in the underlying securitization entity, which can fluctuate from period to period depending on whether we continue to hold a significant financial interest in the underlying securitization entity. See Note 4 for further discussion of deconsolidations. The gain from loan sales excludes losses from deconsolidations of $ 8,601 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which was related to student loans, and $ 13,716 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, of which $ 5,115 was related to personal loans in the first quarter of 2020. Losses on deconsolidations are presented within noninterest income — securitizations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

_____________________
(1) Student loan and personal loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, are impacted by the timing of charge-off sales performed on behalf of the purchasers of our loans, which lower the net amount disclosed. For student loans, charge-off sales were meaningfully higher in the 2020 periods relative to the 2021 periods. For personal loans, the impact of charge-off sales was not meaningful to the period-over-period comparison presented.
Note 6. Allowance for Credit Losses
We measure our allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable, which primarily relates to Galileo, and on loans measured at amortized cost, including credit card loans, under ASC 326. Given our methods of collecting funds on servicing receivables, our historical experience of infrequent write offs, and that we have not observed meaningful changes in our counterparties’ abilities to pay, we determined that the future exposure to credit losses on servicing related receivables was immaterial.
The following table summarizes the activity in the balances of allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable and credit card loans during the periods indicated. There was no activity in the balances of allowance for credit losses for these asset

(1) Disclosed but not carried at fair value. The carrying value of our debt is net of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair values of our warehouse facility debt, revolving credit facility debt, financing arrangements assumed in the Galileo acquisition and credit card loans were based on
34

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
market factors and credit factors specific to us. The securitization debt was valued using a discounted cash flow model, with key inputs relating to the underlying contractual coupons, terms, discount rate and expectations for defaults and prepayments. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities and highly liquid nature of these accounts.
(2) Measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
(3) Measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
(4) Derivative liabilities classified as Level 1 are based on broker quotes in active markets and represent economic hedges of loan fair values. Gross derivative liabilities included herein are subject to master netting arrangements. See Note 1 for additional information on our master netting arrangements, including the amounts netted against these gross derivative liabilities.
(5) IRLCs are classified as Level 3 because of our reliance on an assumed loan funding probability, which is based on our internal historical experience with home loans similar to those in the pipeline on the measurement date.
(6) Interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2, because these financial instruments do not trade in active markets with observable prices, but rely on observable inputs other than quoted prices. Interest rate swaps are valued using the three-month LIBOR swap yield curve, which is an observable input from an active market.
(7) These assets represent the carrying value of our holdings in VIEs wherein we were not deemed the primary beneficiary. As we do not provide financial support beyond our initial equity investment, our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with nonconsolidated VIEs is limited to the investment amount. See Note 4 for additional information.
(8) In conjunction with the Closing of the Business Combination, we measured the final fair value of the Series H warrants and subsequently reclassified them into permanent equity. Therefore, we will not measure the Series H warrants at fair value on an ongoing basis, subsequent to May 28, 2021. See Note 9 for additional information on our historical Series H warrant liabilities, including inputs to the valuation.
(9) SoFi Technologies warrants include an aggregate 28,125,000 public warrants and private placement warrants assumed in the Business Combination, which are classified as Level 1 due to the reliance upon an observable market quote in an active market. See “—Warrant Liabilities – SoFi Technologies Warrants” in this Note 7 for additional information.
(10) ETF short positions classified as Level 1 are based on quoted prices in actively traded markets and serve as an economic hedge to our non-securitization investments in exchange-traded funds.
(11) Common stock held on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is composed of fractional shares to facilitate member trading in fractional shares in various companies through a SoFi Invest account, as well as common stock held at 8 Limited, which functions as a clearing broker in Hong Kong. These assets are classified as Level 1 based on the use of quoted prices in actively traded markets.

The key assumptions included in the above table are defined as follows:
• Conditional prepayment rate — The monthly annualized proportion of the principal of a pool of loans that is assumed to be paid off prematurely in each period. An increase in the conditional prepayment rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
• Annual default rate — The annualized rate of borrowers who do not make loan payments on time. An increase in the annual default rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
• Discount rate — The weighted average rate at which the expected cash flows are discounted to arrive at the net present value of the loans. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
See Note 3 for additional loan fair value disclosures.
Servicing Rights
Servicing rights for student loans and personal loans do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Similarly, home loan servicing rights infrequently trade in an active market. At the time of the underlying loan sale, the fair value of servicing rights is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology based on observable and unobservable inputs. Management classifies servicing rights as Level 3 due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement.
The following key unobservable inputs were used in the fair value measurement of our classes of servicing rights as of the dates presented:

The key assumptions included in the above table are defined as follows:
• Market servicing costs — The fee a willing market participant, which we validate through actual third-party bids for our servicing, would require for the servicing of student loans, home loans and personal loans with similar characteristics as those in our serviced portfolio. An increase in the market servicing cost, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
• Conditional prepayment rate — The monthly annualized proportion of the principal of a pool of loans that is assumed to be paid off prematurely in each period. An increase in the conditional prepayment rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
• Annual default rate — The annualized rate of default within the total serviced loan balance. An increase in the annual default rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
• Discount rate — The weighted average rate at which the expected cash flows are discounted to arrive at the net present value of the servicing rights. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. The effect on fair value of a variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of our servicing rights is calculated while holding the other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
The following table presents the changes in the Company’s servicing rights, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Servicing rights are initially measured at fair value and recognized as a component of the gain or loss from sales of loans and the initial capitalization is reported within noninterest income — loan origination and sales in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Subsequent changes in the fair value of servicing

Asset-Backed Bonds
The fair value of asset-backed bonds is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. Management classifies asset-backed bonds as Level 2 due to the use of quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are not active, as well as certain factors specific to us. The following key inputs were used in the fair value measurement of our asset-backed bonds as of the dates indicated:
June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Discount rate (range)
0.6 % – 3.1 %
0.8 % – 4.0 %
Conditional prepayment rate (range)
21.2 % – 28.6 %
18.8 % – 21.9 %
As of the dates indicated, the fair value of our asset-backed bonds was not materially impacted by default assumptions on the underlying securitization loans, as the subordinate residual interests, by design, are expected to absorb all estimated losses based on our default assumptions for the respective periods.

Residual Investments and Residual Interests Classified as Debt
Residual investments and residual interests classified as debt do not trade in active markets with readily observable prices, and there is limited observable market data for reference. The fair values of residual investments and residual interests classified as debt are determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. Management classifies residual investments and residual interests classified as debt as Level 3 due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements.
The following key unobservable inputs were used in the fair value measurements of our residual investments and residual interests classified as debt as of the dates indicated:

The key assumptions included in the above table are defined as follows:
• Conditional prepayment rate — The monthly annualized proportion of the principal of a pool of loans that is assumed to be paid off prematurely in each period for the pool of loans in the securitization. An increase in the conditional prepayment rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
• Annual default rate — The annualized rate of borrowers who fail to remain current on their loans for the pool of loans in the securitization. An increase in the annual default rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
• Discount rate — The weighted average rate at which the expected cash flows are discounted to arrive at the net present value of the residual investments and residual interests classified as debt. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. The weighted average assumption was weighted based on relative fair value.
The following table presents the changes in the residual investments and residual interests classified as debt, which are both measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We record changes in fair value within noninterest income — securitizations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), a portion of which is

(1) For residual investments, the estimated amount of gains (losses) included in earnings attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk were $ 38 and $( 143 ) during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $( 208 ) and $( 1,031 ) during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The gains (losses) attributable to instrument-specific credit risk were estimated by incorporating our current default and loss severity assumptions for the residual investments. These assumptions are based on historical performance, market trends and performance expectations over the term of the underlying instrument.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
As part of our home loan origination activities, we commit to interest rate terms prior to completing the home loan origination process. These interest rate commitments are “locked”, despite changes in interest rates between the time of home loan application approval and loan closure. Given that a home loan origination is contingent on a plethora of factors, our IRLCs are inherently uncertain. We account for the probability of honoring an IRLC using an assumed loan funding probability, which is the percentage likelihood that an approved loan application will close based on historical experience. A significant difference

Non-Securitization Investments
Non-securitization investments — ETFs of $ 4,266 as of June 30, 2021 and $ 6,850 as of December 31, 2020 include investments in exchange-traded funds, each of which has a targeted investment strategy, such as securities with regular dividends (applicable to the 2021 period only), investment grade and high-yield fixed income securities (applicable to the 2021 period only), equity securities seeking long-term capital appreciation, and widely held U.S. stocks by SoFi members. Non-securitization investments — ETFs are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the net asset value expedient in accordance with ASC 820 and are presented within other assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Non-securitization investments — Common stock of $ 613 as of June 30, 2021 includes stock inventory to facilitate member trading in fractional shares in various companies through a SoFi Invest account, as well as common stock at 8 Limited, which functions as a clearing broker in Hong Kong. Fractional share assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and presented within other assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Common stock assets were immaterial as of December 31, 2020.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, non-securitization investments — other includes investments for which fair values are not readily determinable, which we elect to measure using the measurement alternative method of accounting. Under the measurement alternative method, we measure the investments at cost, less any impairment and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuers. The carrying values of the investments are presented within other assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Adjustments to the carrying values, such as impairments and unrealized gains, are recognized within noninterest income — other in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the uses of unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements.
For one such investment with a fair value of $ 1,147 as of June 30, 2021, we recorded an impairment charge of $ 803 in the second quarter of 2020 and adjusted the carrying value of the investment accordingly, which was based on a discounted cash flow analysis, wherein we weighted different valuation scenarios with different assumed internal rates of return and time to liquidity events. In performing a qualitative impairment assessment, we determined that the carrying amount of the investment exceeded its fair value due to a significant decline in investee operating results relative to expectations, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For an additional investment with a fair value of $ 2,168 as of June 30, 2021, we recognized a gain of $ 3,967 during the second quarter of 2021, which we valued based on the investee’s latest round of financing during the second quarter of 2021. We considered this recent equity transaction to be an orderly transaction in an issuance similar to our investment holding. Additionally, we sold a portion of our investment during the second quarter of 2021 for $ 2,000 at the same valuation, contemporaneous with the investee’s latest round of financing.
Warrant Liabilities – SoFi Technologies Warrants
Prior to the Business Combination, SCH issued 8,000,000 private placement warrants to SCH Sponsor V LLC (the “Sponsor”) and 20,125,000 public warrants (collectively, “SoFi Technologies warrants”). Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company assumed the SoFi Technologies warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment, for an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share. The SoFi Technologies warrants are exercisable at any time commencing the later of a) 30 days following the Business Combination on May 28, 2021 or b) 12 months from the date of SCH’s initial public offering on October 14, 2020, except as described herein, and terminate five years after the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Once the SoFi Technologies warrants are exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants, in whole, upon a minimum 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (“Redemption Period”) under one of two potential scenarios. For purposes of the redemption scenarios, the “Reference Value” represents the last reported sale price of SoFi Technologies common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption. The two scenarios are as follows:
(1) If the Reference Value equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share, the Company may redeem the outstanding public warrants for cash at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant. The public warrant holders will be entitled to exercise his, her or its public warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date. The private placement warrants are exempt from redemption if the
42

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
Reference Value is at or above $ 18.00 per share and the private placement warrants continue to be held by the Sponsor or a permitted transferee.
(2) If the Reference Value equals or exceeds $ 10.00 per share, the Company may redeem the outstanding public warrants for cash at a price of $ 0.10 per warrant. If the Reference Value is less than $ 18.00 per share, the private placement warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption with the public warrants. The warrant holders will be entitled to exercise his, her or its SoFi Technologies warrants during the Redemption Period on a cashless basis prior to redemption. The cashless exercise will entitle the warrant holders to receive a set number of shares determined by reference to the redemption date and the “fair market value” of SoFi Technologies common stock, as defined in the warrant agreement.
Prior to the Business Combination, SCH evaluated the public warrants and private placement warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”) and concluded that they did not meet the criteria to be classified in permanent equity. Specifically, the settlement feature for the private placement warrants precluded them from being considered indexed to SCH’s own stock, given that a change in the holder of the private placement warrants may have altered the settlement of the private placement warrants. Since the holder of the instrument was not an input to a standard option pricing model (a consideration with respect to the indexation guidance), the fact that a change in the holder may impact the value of the private placement warrants meant the private placement warrants were not indexed to the SCH’s own stock. Further, a provision in the warrant agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precluded the public warrants and private placement warrants from being accounted for as components of permanent equity. Since the public warrants and private placement warrants met the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, SCH recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 820.
As the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, and because there were no changes to the terms and conditions of the warrant agreement, SoFi Technologies warrants continue to be classified as derivative liabilities subsequent to the Business Combination, subject to recurring fair value measurement under ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the period of change.
In connection with the Business Combination, on June 14, 2021, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC, which related to the issuance of an aggregate of up to 28,125,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the SoFi Technologies warrants. At the time of the Business Combination, the SoFi Technologies warrants were initially valued at $ 200,250 . As of June 30, 2021, no SoFi Technologies warrants were exercised and the Company valued the warrant liabilities at $ 239,343 based on the closing price of SOFIW. The fair value adjustment of $ 39,093 during the period was recorded within noninterest expense – general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Material Changes to Debt Arrangements
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we:
• paid off the seller note issued in 2020 for a total payment of $ 269,864 , consisting of outstanding principal of $ 250,000 and accrued interest of $ 19,864 ;
• opened one risk retention warehouse facility;
• opened one credit card warehouse facility with a maximum available capacity of $ 100,000 ;
• closed one personal loan warehouse facility that had a maximum available capacity of $ 250,000 ; and
• had one home loan warehouse facility mature that had a maximum available capacity of $ 150,000 .
The total accrued interest payable on our debt as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $ 1,972 and $ 19,817 , respectively, and was included as a component of accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our warehouse and securitization debt is secured by a continuing lien and security interest in the loans financed by the proceeds. Within each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain operating and financial covenants. These financial covenants include, but are not limited to, maintaining: (i) a certain minimum tangible net worth, (ii) minimum cash and cash equivalents, and (iii) a maximum leverage ratio of total debt to tangible net worth. Our debt covenants can lead to restricted cash classifications in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our subsidiaries are restricted in the amount that can be distributed to the parent company only to the extent that such distributions would cause the financial covenants to not be met. We were in compliance with all financial covenants required per each agreement as of each balance sheet date presented.
We act as a guarantor for our wholly-owned subsidiaries in several arrangements in the case of default. As of June 30, 2021, we have not identified any risks of nonpayment by our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Note 9. Temporary Equity
Pursuant to SoFi Technologies’ Certificate of Incorporation dated May 28, 2021, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $ 0.0001 per share (“SoFi Technologies Preferred Stock”) and 100,000,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock having a par value of $ 0.0000025 per share (“SoFi Technologies Redeemable Preferred Stock”). The Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue SoFi Technologies Preferred Stock and SoFi Technologies Redeemable Preferred Stock and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares. The authorized shares of SoFi Technologies Redeemable Preferred Stock is inclusive of 4,500,000 shares of Series 1 redeemable preferred stock (“Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock”), which reflect the conversion on a one-for-one basis of shares of Social Finance Series 1 preferred stock in conjunction with the Business Combination. Shares of SoFi Technologies Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock that are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company will be canceled and may not be reissued by the Company. The Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock remains classified as temporary equity because the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock is not fully controlled by the issuer, SoFi Technologies. See “—Series 1 Preference and Rights” for additional provisions of the SoFi Technologies Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock.
In addition to the Series 1 preferred stock, prior to the Business Combination, the Company had outstanding shares of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G, Series H and Series H-1 preferred stock (collectively, “Preferred Stock”). Immediately prior to the Business Combination, all shares of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock, other than the Series 1 preferred stock, converted into a total of 465,832,666 shares of SoFi Technologies common stock on the
46

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
following basis ( 15,000,000 of which were classified as redeemable common stock and immediately redeemed subsequent to the Business Combination):
• each share of Social Finance Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E and Series H-1 preferred stock was converted into the right to receive shares of SoFi Technologies common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as discussed in Note 2);
• each share of Social Finance Series F preferred stock was converted into the right to receive shares of SoFi Technologies common stock equal to 1.1102 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;
• each share of Social Finance Series G preferred stock was converted into the right to receive shares of SoFi Technologies common stock equal to 1.2093 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio; and
• each share of Social Finance Series H preferred stock was converted into the right to receive shares of SoFi Technologies common stock equal to 1.0863 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (except for shares of Series H preferred stock held by our Chief Executive Officer, which were converted into the right to receive shares of SoFi Technologies common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio).
As of June 30, 2021, there were no shares of SoFi Technologies Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and there were 3,234,000 shares of SoFi Technologies Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Recent Issuances and Redemptions
In conjunction with the Business Combination, we redeemed and canceled 15,000,000 shares of redeemable SoFi Technologies common stock for a purchase price of $ 150.0 million.
During December 2020, we exercised a call and redeemed 26,941,262 shares of redeemable preferred stock consisting of: 18,400,928 shares of Series B; 1,816,803 shares of Series D; 384,835 shares of Series E and 6,338,696 shares of Series F. The amount payable resulted in a reduction to redeemable preferred stock of $ 80,201 for the redeemable preferred stock balance at the time of the exercise. The shares were retired upon receipt. The cash payment for the redeemed preferred shares was made in January 2021. See Note 13 for additional information.
In May 2020, the Company issued 91,921,020 shares of Series H-1 redeemable preferred stock as a component of the purchase consideration for the acquisition of Galileo at a fair value of $ 814,156 . Upon the finalization of the closing working capital calculation in April 2021, the total purchase price consideration was reduced by $ 743 , which was settled through the return to SoFi of an equivalent value of 83,856 previously issued Series H-1 preferred stock, which were retired upon receipt. See Note 2 for additional information on the acquisition.
Series 1 Preference and Rights
On January 7, 2021, the Company and (i) entities affiliated with Silver Lake, which is affiliated with Michael Bingle, one of the directors of SoFi, (ii) entities affiliated with the Qatar Investment Authority (“QIA”), which is affiliated with Ahmed Al-Hammadi, one of the directors of SoFi, and (iii) Mr. Noto, the Chief Executive Officer and one of the directors of SoFi, entered into the Amended and Restated Series 1 Preferred Stock Investors’ Agreement (the “Amended Series 1 Agreement”), which amended the Series 1 Preferred Stock Investors’ Agreement dated May 29, 2019 (the “Original Series 1 Agreement”). Under the Original Series 1 Agreement, the Series 1 preferred stock had limited price protection in the instance that the Company liquidated, finalized an initial public offering, or sold control of the Company to a third party, which events would have triggered a special payment provision. In conjunction with the Business Combination, the Amended Series 1 Agreement amended the original special payment provision to provide for a one-time special payment of $ 21.2 million to Series 1 preferred stockholders, which was paid from the proceeds of the Business Combination and settled contemporaneously with the Business Combination. The special payment was recognized within noninterest expense — general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), as this feature was accounted for as an embedded derivative that was not clearly and closely related to the host contract, and will have no subsequent impact on our consolidated financial results. The Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock has no stated maturity.
In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, the Series 1 preferred stockholders entered into the Series 1 Registration Rights Agreement upon request by QIA, which provides Series 1 preferred stockholders with certain registration

rights, provides for certain shelf registration filing obligations by SoFi and limits the future registration rights that SoFi may grant other parties.
Dividends
Prior to the Business Combination, the preferred stock (other than Series C and excluding Series 1 preferred stock, which is discussed separately below) had non-cumulative and non-mandatory dividend rights. Series C did not have a stated dividend. No dividends were declared or paid subject to such dividend provisions. As of June 30, 2021, the dividend provisions were no longer in effect.
Pursuant to the SoFi Technologies Certificate of Incorporation, the SoFi Technologies Series 1 preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends from and including the date of issuance of such shares at a fixed rate equal to $ 12.50 per annum per share, or 12.5 % per annum, of the SoFi Technologies Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock share price of $ 100.00 (“Series 1 Dividend Rate”). The Series 1 Dividend Rate resets to a new fixed rate on the fifth anniversary of May 29, 2019, the original Series 1 preferred stock issue date (“Series 1 Original Issue Date”) and on every subsequent one-year anniversary of the Series 1 Original Issue Date (“Dividend Reset Date”), equal to six-month LIBOR as in effect on the second London banking day prior to such Dividend Reset Date plus a spread of 9.94 % per annum. Series 1 preferred stockholders prior to the Business Combination who received shares of SoFi Technologies Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock at the effective time of the Merger remained entitled to receive dividends accrued but unpaid as of the date of the Agreement in respect of such shares of Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Series 1 preferred stockholders were entitled to dividends of $ 10,079 and $ 10,051 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Series 1 preferred stockholders were entitled to dividends of $ 20,047 and $ 20,157 , respectively. There were no dividends payable as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Dividends are payable semiannually in arrears on the 30th day of June and 31st day of December of each year, when and as authorized by the board of directors. The Company may defer any scheduled dividend payment for up to three semiannual dividend periods, subject to such deferred dividend accumulating and compounding at the applicable Series 1 Dividend Rate. If the Company defers any single scheduled dividend payment on the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock for four or more semiannual dividend periods, the Series 1 Dividend Rate applicable to (i) the compounding following the date of such default on all then-deferred dividend payments (whether or not deferred for four or more semiannual dividend periods) is applied on a go-forward basis and not retroactively, and (ii) new dividends declared following the date of such default and the compounding on such dividends if such new dividends are deferred shall be equal to the otherwise applicable Series 1 Dividend Rate plus 400 basis points. This default-related increase shall continue to apply until the Company pays all deferred dividends and related compounding. Once the Company is current on all such dividends, it may again commence deferral of any pre-scheduled dividend payment for up to three semiannual dividend periods, following the same procedure as outlined in the foregoing. There were no dividend deferrals during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020.
Conversion
Subsequent to the Business Combination, the conversion provisions in respect of each series of preferred stock were no longer of effect, other than the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, which did not have any rights of conversion. Pursuant to the SoFi Technologies Certificate of Incorporation, the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock continue not to have any rights to convert into shares of any other class or series of securities of the Company.
Liquidation
Subsequent to the Business Combination, the liquidation provisions in respect of every series of preferred stock, other than Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, were no longer of effect. Pursuant to the SoFi Technologies Certificate of Incorporation, with respect to rights to the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock is senior to all classes or series of common stock, non-voting common stock, SoFi Technologies Preferred Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding that, by its terms, does not expressly provide that it ranks senior to or pari passu with the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock.

Settlement Rights
Pursuant to the SoFi Technologies Certificate of Incorporation, the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemable at SoFi’s option in certain circumstances. SoFi may, at any time but no more than three times, at its option, settle the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, but if in part, in an amount no less than (i) one-third of the total amount of Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding as of May 28, 2021 or (ii) the remainder of Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding (the “Minimum Redemption Amount”). In addition, SoFi may, at its option, settle for cash the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock in whole, but not in part, within 120 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the SoFi Technologies Certificate of Incorporation), which would result in a payment of the initial purchase price of the Series 1 preferred stock of $ 323.4 million plus any unpaid dividends on such stock (whether deferred or otherwise) (the “Series 1 Redemption Price”). Such settlement is determined at the discretion of the board of directors. If any such optional redemption by the Company occurs either (i) prior to the fifth anniversary of the Series 1 Original Issue Date or (ii) after the fifth anniversary of the Series 1 Original Issue Date and not on a Dividend Reset Date, the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to any such dividends that would have otherwise been payable to the holder on its redeemed shares of Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock for all dividend periods following the applicable optional redemption date up to and including the Dividend Reset Date immediately following such optional redemption date.
If the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock is not earlier redeemed by the Company, each holder of Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock has the right to require SoFi to settle for cash some or all of their Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, in each case at the Series 1 Redemption Price, in the following circumstances: (i) within 120 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, or (ii) during the six-month period following (a) a default in payment of any dividend on the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, or (b) the cure period for any covenant default under the SoFi Technologies Certificate of Incorporation. The Series 1 preferred stock had similar redemption provisions under the Original Series 1 Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended Series 1 Agreement, in January 2021, the Series 1 preferred stockholders waived their rights in the event of a liquidation, including the right to immediately receive the Series 1 proceeds. Therefore, the Series 1 preferred stock redemption value remained at $ 323.4 million subsequent to the Business Combination. The Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock remains in temporary equity following the Business Combination because the Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock is not fully controlled by SoFi.
Voting Rights
Subsequent to the Business Combination, the liquidation provisions in respect of every series of preferred stock, other than Series 1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, were no longer of effect. Pursuant to the SoFi Technologies Certificate of Incorporation, the Series 1 preferred stockholders do not have explicit board of director rights.
Warrants
In connection with the Series 1 and Series H preferred stock issuances during the year ended December 31, 2019, we also issued 12,170,990 Series H warrants, which were initially accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , and were included within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At inception, we allocated $ 22.3 million of the $ 539.0 million of proceeds we received from the Series 1 and Series H preferred stock issuances to the Series H warrants, with such valuation determined using the Black-Scholes Model, in order to establish an initial fair value for the Series H warrants. The remaining proceeds were allocated to the Series 1 and Series H preferred stock balances based on their initial relative fair values.
Subsequent to the initial measurement and until the Business Combination, the Series H warrants were measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3 because of our reliance on unobservable assumptions, with fair value changes recognized within noninterest expense — general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). On May 28, 2021, in conjunction with the Closing of the Business Combination, we measured the final fair value of our Series H warrants. We recorded the fair value change in our Series H warrants from March 31, 2021 to May 28, 2021 within noninterest expense — general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Subsequently, we reclassified the Series H warrant liability of $ 161,775 into permanent equity, as the terms of the Series H instrument no longer
49

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
necessitated liability accounting. Therefore, we will not measure the warrants at fair value on an ongoing basis, subsequent to May 28, 2021.
The key inputs into our Black-Scholes Model valuation were as follows as of December 31, 2020 and as of the final measurement date:
May 28, December 31,
Input 2021 2020
Risk-free interest rate 0.3 % 0.2 %
Expected term (years) 2.9 3.4
Expected volatility 33.9 % 32.6 %
Dividend yield — % — %
Exercise price $ 8.86 $ 8.86
Fair value of Series H preferred stock $ 21.89 $ 9.74
The Company’s use of the Black-Scholes Model requires the use of subjective assumptions:
• The risk-free interest rate assumption was initially based on the five-year U.S. Treasury rate, which was commensurate with the expected term of the warrants. At inception, we assumed that the term would be five years, given by design the warrants were only expected to extend for greater than five years if the Company was still not publicly traded by that point in time. The expected term assumption used reflects the five-year term less time elapsed since initial measurement. An increase in the expected term, in isolation, would typically correlate to a higher risk-free interest rate and result in an increase in the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities and vice versa. See below for a development in connection with the Business Combination.
• Our expected volatility assumptions reflected the expectation that the Series H warrants would convert into common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination, and the Series H preference would be of no further effect, in which case the Series H preference would not have a material impact on the stock volatility measure. As such, the expected volatility assumptions reflect our common stock volatilities as of May 28, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. An increase in the expected volatility, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities and vice versa.
• The fair value measurement of the Series H preferred stock as of December 31, 2020 was informed from a common stock transaction during December 2020 at a price of $ 10.57 per common share. We determined that this common stock transaction was a reasonable proxy for the valuation of the Series H preferred stock as of December 31, 2020 due to the proximity to an expected Business Combination; therefore, other than adjusting for the Series H exchange ratio, no further adjustments were made for the Series H concluded price per share. As of May 28, 2021, the fair value measurement of the Series H redeemable preferred stock was determined based on the observable closing price of SCH stock (ticker symbol “IPOE”) on the measurement date multiplied by the weighted average exchange ratio of the Series H preferred stock.
• We assumed no dividend yield because we have historically not paid out dividends to our preferred stockholders, other than to the Series 1 preferred stockholders, which is considered a special circumstance.
At inception of the warrants, we allocated the remaining net proceeds of $ 514.3 million from the combined Series H and Series 1 preferred stock offering to the Series H and Series 1 preferred stock balances in proportion to their relative fair values. This resulted in an initial allocation of $ 193.9 million and $ 320.4 million to the Series H and Series 1 preferred stock, respectively.

Note 10. Permanent Equity
On June 1, 2021, the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbols “SOFI” and “SOFIW”, respectively. Pursuant to SoFi Technologies’ Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 794,692,813 shares of common stock and no shares of non-voting common stock issued and outstanding. See Note 9 for additional information on Social Finance preferred stock that was converted into SoFi Technologies common stock in conjunction with the Business Combination.
During December 2020, we issued 34,973,294 shares of common stock for gross proceeds received of $ 369.8 million, which was offset by direct legal costs of $ 56 (the “Common Stock Issuance”). The number of shares issued in the Common Stock Issuance was subject to upward adjustment if we consummated the Business Combination described in Note 2, with the amount of the adjustment based on the implied per-share consideration in the Business Combination and the number of shares of our capital stock issued in certain dilutive issuances prior to the closing of the Business Combination. The adjustment resulted in the issuance of an additional 1,281,132 shares at the time of the Closing of the Business Combination.

2011 Stock Option Plan
Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”) allowed the Company to grant shares of common stock to employees, non-employee directors and non-employee third parties.

As of June 30, 2021, a total of 84,492,530 awards remain subject to future issuance under these arrangements. Upon the Closing, the remaining unallocated share reserve under the 2011 Plan was cancelled and no new awards will be granted under such plan. Awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan were assumed by SoFi Technologies upon the Closing and continue to be governed by the terms of the 2011 Plan.
2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company adopted the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which authorized for issuance 63,575,425 shares of common stock in connection with the Business Combination. The number of authorized shares will increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with SoFi Technologies’ 2022 fiscal year, as prescribed in the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents and other stock or cash based awards. As of June 30, 2021, 6,428,578 performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards and 178,021 restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards have been granted under the 2021 Plan, which are further described below.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred cash outflows of $ 28,603 and $ 12,628 , respectively, related to the payment of withholding taxes for vested RSUs. These cash outflows are presented within financing activities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Common Stock Valuations
Prior to us contemplating a public market transaction, we established the fair value of our common stock by using the option pricing model (Black-Scholes Model based) via the backsolve method and through placing weight on previously redeemable preferred stock transactions. The valuations also applied discounts for lack of marketability to reflect the fact that there was no market mechanism to sell our common stock and, as such, the common stock option and RSU holders would need to wait for a liquidity event to facilitate the sale of their equity awards. In addition, there were contractual transfer restrictions placed on common stock in the event that we remained a private company.
During the third quarter of 2020, once we made intentional progress toward pursuing a public market transaction, we began applying the probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of our common stock. The probability weightings assigned to certain potential exit scenarios were based on management’s expected near-term and long-term funding requirements and assessment of the most attractive liquidation possibilities at the time of the valuation.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, we valued our common stock on a monthly basis. A common stock transaction that closed in December 2020 at a price of $ 10.57 per common share, which was of substantial size and in close proximity to the Business Combination, served as the key input for the fair value of our common stock for grants made during the fourth quarter of 2020. We decreased the assumed discount for lack of marketability throughout the fourth quarter of 2020, corresponding with our decreased time to liquidity assumption throughout the quarter, as we became more certain about the possibility of entering into the Business Combination over time. We continued to use a share price of $ 10.57 to value our common stock for transactions in January until the date on which we executed the Agreement.
Subsequent to executing the Agreement on January 7, 2021 and through the Business Combination, we determined the value of our common stock based on the observable daily closing price of SCH’s stock (ticker symbol “IPOE”) multiplied by the exchange ratio in effect for such transaction date. Subsequent to the Business Combination, we determined the value of our common stock based on the observable daily closing price of SoFi’s stock (ticker symbol “SOFI”).
Stock Options
The terms of the stock option grants, including the exercise price per share and vesting periods, are determined by our board of directors. At the discretion and determination of our board of directors, both the 2011 Plan and the 2021 Plan allow for the granting of stock options that may be exercised before the stock options have vested.

(1) There were no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
(2) Includes 593,798 stock options that were exercised during the second quarter of 2021 for which we did not legally issue the associated common stock as of June 30, 2021 as a result of implementing an administrative freeze on legal issuances of common stock in advance of the Closing of the Business Combination. As such, this presentation differs from the corresponding disclosure of exercises of stock options presented in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Temporary Equity and Permanent Equity (Deficit), as the latter reflects only exercises for which shares of common stock were legally issued.
Total compensation cost related to unvested stock options not yet recognized as of June 30, 2021 was $ 9.7 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years.
Restricted Stock Units
RSUs are equity awards granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of our common stock when the awards vest. RSUs are measured based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value of our common stock was $ 19.07 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The following table summarizes RSU activity for the period indicated:

(1) The total fair value, based on grant date fair value, of RSUs that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $ 59.5 million.
(2) Includes 3,907,905 RSUs that vested during the second quarter of 2021 for which we did not legally issue the associated common stock as of June 30, 2021 as a result of implementing an administrative freeze on legal issuances of common stock in advance of the Closing of the Business Combination. As such, this presentation differs from the corresponding disclosure of RSUs vested presented in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Temporary Equity and Permanent Equity (Deficit), as the latter reflects only RSU vestings for which shares of common stock were legally issued.
(3) Includes 178,021 RSUs that were granted in 2020 with an original vest date in June 2021 to earn the first tranche of compensation for the 2020 plan period. However, upon determining that the original performance-based vesting condition would not be satisfied, the Company modified the awards to extend the vesting date by 12 months. We concluded that the facts and circumstances aligned with an improbable-to-probable modification (Type III) and the vesting condition of the modified awards is a service-based condition. As a result, we reversed previously recognized share-based compensation expense of $ 1,237 in June 2021. For the modified awards, we will record total share-based compensation expense of $ 3,884 determined based on the number of awards expected to vest and the modification-date fair value over the 12-month service period, of which $ 180 was recorded in June 2021.
As of June 30, 2021, there was $ 541.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.4 years.

Performance Stock Units
PSUs are equity awards granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of our common stock when the awards vest. Under the 2021 Plan, we granted PSUs that will vest, if at all, on a graded basis during the four-year period commencing on May 28, 2022, subject to the achievement of specified performance goals, such as the volume-weighted average closing price of our stock over a 90-trading day period (“Target Hurdles”) and, if we become a bank holding company, maintaining certain minimum standards applicable to bank holding companies. All PSUs are subject to continued employment on the date of vesting. In the event of a Sale Event (as defined in the 2021 Plan), the awards may automatically vest subject to the satisfaction of the Target Hurdles by reference to the sale price, without regard to any other vesting conditions. In the second quarter of 2021, we granted 6,428,578 PSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $ 14.66 , all of which were unvested as of June 30, 2021.
Compensation cost associated with PSUs is recognized using the accelerated attribution method for each of the three vesting tranches over the respective derived service period. We determine the grant-date fair value of PSUs utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table summarizes the inputs used for estimating the fair value of PSUs granted during the period indicated:
Six Months Ended
Input June 30, 2021
Risk-free interest rate
0.8 %
Expected volatility
34.9 %
Fair value of common stock
$ 23.21
Dividend yield
— %
Our use of a Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of subjective assumptions:
• The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the five-year U.S. Treasury rate at the time of grant, which was commensurate with the term of the PSUs.
• The expected volatility assumption was based on the implied volatility of our common stock from a set of comparable publicly-traded companies.
• The fair value of our common stock was based on the closing stock price on the date of grant.
• We assumed no dividend yield because we have historically not paid out dividends to common stockholders.
As of June 30, 2021, there was $ 89.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years.
Note 12. Income Taxes
For interim periods, we follow the general recognition approach whereby tax expense is recognized through the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is applied to the year-to-date operating results. Additionally, we recognize tax expense or benefit for any discrete items occurring within the interim period that were excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year due to impacts from the following items: (i) changes in forecasted pre-tax and taxable income or loss, (ii) changes in statutory law or regulations in jurisdictions where we operate, (iii) audits or settlements with taxing authorities, (iv) the tax impact of expanded product offerings or business acquisitions, and (v) changes in valuation allowance assumptions.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded an income tax (expense) benefit of $ 78 and $( 1,021 ), respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $ 99,768 and $ 99,711 , respectively. Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily due to the profitability of SoFi Lending Corp, which incurs income tax expense in some state jurisdictions where separate company filing is required. The significant change in our income tax position for the 2021 periods relative to 2020 was primarily due to a partial release of our valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2020 in connection with deferred tax liabilities resulting from intangible assets acquired from Galileo in May 2020. There were no material changes to our unrecognized tax benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and we do not expect to have any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.

(In Thousands, Unless Otherwise Stated and Except for Share and Per Share Data)
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we maintained a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets in applicable jurisdictions. In certain state jurisdictions where sufficient deferred tax liabilities exist, no valuation allowance is recognized. Management reviews all available positive and negative evidence in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. We will continue to recognize a full valuation allowance until there is sufficient positive evidence to support its release.
Note 13. Related Parties
The Company defines related parties as members of our board of directors, entity affiliates, executive officers and principal owners of the Company’s outstanding stock and members of their immediate families. Related parties also include any other person or entity with significant influence over the Company’s management or operations.
Stockholder Note
In 2019, the Company entered into a $ 58,000 note receivable agreement with a stockholder (“Note Receivable Stockholder”), which was collateralized by the Note Receivable Stockholder’s common stock and redeemable preferred stock. Related to this collateralization, the Company obtained call rights to purchase the collateral at $ 5.05 per share (“Call Option Rights”). As of December 31, 2020, there was no remaining receivable associated with this related party note; however, our Call Option Rights remained outstanding post settlement, per the terms of our Note Receivable Stockholder agreement.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized related party interest income of $ 569 and $ 1,339 , respectively. In December 2020, we exercised our Call Option Rights to acquire the Note Receivable Stockholder collateral, which included 104,132 shares of common stock and 26,941,262 shares of redeemable preferred stock. The Call Option Rights shares were retired upon receipt. The option exercise payable of $ 133,385 remained outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and the reserved funds were presented within restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The full payment was subsequently made in January 2021.
Apex Loan
In November 2019, we lent $ 9,050 to Apex at an interest rate of 12.5 % per annum, which had a scheduled maturity date of August 31, 2020. In August 2020, we extended the maturity date to August 31, 2021 and modified the interest rate to 5.0 % per annum, which we determined to be below the market rate of interest. In accordance with ASC 835-30, Interest, in 2020, we recognized a loss representing the discounted fair value of the loan receivable relative to its stated value at the market rate of interest, which is accreted into interest income over the remaining term of the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we lent an additional $ 7,643 to Apex. We had an interest income receivable of $ 1,443 as of December 31, 2020. During February 2021, Apex paid us $ 18,304 in settlement of all of their outstanding obligations to us, which consisted of outstanding principal balances of $ 16,693 and accrued interest of $ 1,611 . During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized interest income of $ — and $ 211 , respectively, within interest income — related party notes , and we reversed the remainder of the loss for the discount to fair value that had not yet been accreted of $ 169 within noninterest income — other in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), which was only applicable to the six-month period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized interest income of $ 310 and $ 592 , respectively.
Note 14. Commitments, Guarantees, Concentrations and Contingencies
Leases
We primarily lease our office premises under multi-year, non-cancelable operating leases. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we commenced new operating leases for office premises with terms expiring from 2024 to 2026. Associated with these leases, we obtained non-cash operating lease ROU assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities of $ 0 and $ 3,581 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
The lessor for one of our operating leases allowed us to defer payments on the lease beginning in April 2020 as a result of our inability to use the leased premises during the COVID-19 pandemic. We elected to not account for this non-substantial concession as a lease modification. In the absence of this concession, we would have recognized additional operating lease cost of $ 566 and $ 1,132 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 566 and $ 566 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Other Commitments
In September 2019, we entered into a 20 -year partnership with LA Stadium and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California that granted us the exclusive naming rights to SoFi Stadium and official partnerships with the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams, as well as rights with the performance venue and surrounding entertainment district (“Naming and Sponsorship Agreement”). We made payments totaling $ 6,250 and $ 9,517 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We did no t make any payments during the corresponding periods in 2020. See “ Contingencies ” below for discussion of an associated contingent matter.
In June 2021, we entered into an agreement whereby we will invest $ 20 million for a 5 % ownership interest in a lending-related business, pending certain regulatory approvals. Upon the closing of the transaction, we will be granted a seat on the investee’s board of directors. Based on accounting guidance in ASC 323-10-15-6, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures , we concluded that we will have significant influence over the investee because of our representation on its board of directors. However, we will not control the investee and, therefore, will account for the investment under the equity method of accounting. We do not expect the investment to be deemed significant under either Regulation S-X, Rule 3-09 or Rule 4-08(g).
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, residual investments and loans. We hold cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in accounts at regulated domestic financial institutions in amounts that may exceed FDIC insured amounts. We believe these institutions are of high credit quality and have not experienced any related losses to date.
We are dependent on third-party funding sources to originate loans. Additionally, we sell loans to various third parties. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the two largest third-party buyers accounted for a combined 45 % of our loan sales volume. No individual third-party buyer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated total net revenues for any of the periods presented.
The Company is exposed to default risk on borrower loans originated and financed by us. There is no single borrower or group of borrowers that comprise a significant concentration of the Company’s loan portfolio. Likewise, the Company is not overly concentrated within a group of channel partners or other customers, with the exception of our distribution of personal loan residual interests in our sponsored personal loan securitizations, which we market to third parties and the aforementioned whole loan buyers. Given we have a limited number of prospective buyers for our personal loan securitization residual interests, this might result in us utilizing a significant amount of our own capital to fund future residual interests in personal loan securitizations, or impact the execution of future securitizations if we are limited in our own ability to invest in the residual interest portion of future securitizations, or find willing buyers for securitization residual interests.
See Note 16 for a discussion of concentrations in revenues from contracts with customers.
Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In limited instances, the Company may be subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the final outcome, defending lawsuits, claims, government investigations, and proceedings in which we are involved is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees, and there can be no assurances that we will receive favorable final outcomes.
Contingencies
Galileo. Galileo, our wholly owned subsidiary that we acquired in May 2020, is a defendant in a putative class action involving service disruption for customers of Galileo’s largest client stemming from Galileo’s system experiencing technology platform downtime. The parties have entered into a class action settlement agreement to resolve the claims in the action. In May 2021, the United States District Court Northern District of California granted a motion for final approval of the class action settlement. As of June 30, 2021, we estimated a contingent liability associated with this litigation of $ 1,750 , which decreased from the amount recorded as of December 31, 2020 due to lower-than-anticipated claims. The contingent liability was presented

within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and represents Galileo’s maximum exposure to loss on the litigation. Other assets as of June 30, 2021 included $ 1,750 for the expected insurance recovery on the expected settlement. In June 2021, an appeal was filed to the final order approving the settlement in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit by a pro se putative class member. That appeal is pending.
We expensed Galileo legal fees associated with this litigation as incurred. Additionally, Galileo’s client sought compensatory payment from Galileo as part of the technology platform outage, which Galileo settled in November 2020 for $ 3,341 .
SoFi Stadium. In September 2020, we discussed certain provisions of the Naming and Sponsorship Agreement for SoFi Stadium entered into by the same parties in September 2019 in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on these discussions, SoFi paid sponsorship fees for the initial contract year (July 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021) of $ 9.8 million, of which $ 6.5 million was paid during 2020 and $ 3.3 million was paid in January 2021.
The parties are revisiting the sponsorship fees to determine the ultimate amount payable for the initial contract year and have requested that the parties agree upon a third party with expertise in the valuation of sports media rights and sports sponsorship or promotional rights (“Valuation Expert”) to perform an evaluation of the delivered value during the initial contract year, which evaluation has not begun as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, the Company is exposed to additional potential sales and marketing expense of up to $ 12.7 million, which reflects the difference between the actual sponsorship fees paid during the initial contract year and the commitment for the initial contract year made under the Naming and Sponsorship Agreement. As of June 30, 2021, we are unable to estimate the amount of reasonably possible additional costs we may incur with respect to this contingency. Moreover, we have not determined that the likelihood of additional cost is probable. Therefore, as of June 30, 2021, we have not recorded additional expense related to this contingency.
Guarantees
We have three types of repurchase obligations that we account for as financial guarantees pursuant to ASC 460. First, we issue financial guarantees to FNMA on loans that we sell to FNMA, which manifest as repurchase requirements if it is later discovered that loans sold to FNMA do not meet FNMA guidelines. We have a three-year repurchase obligation from the time of origination to buy back originated loans that do not meet FNMA guidelines, and we are required to pay the full initial purchase price back to FNMA. We recognize a liability for the full amount of expected loan repurchases, which we estimate based on historical experience. The liability we record is equal to what we expect to buy back and, therefore, approximates fair value. Second, we make standard representations and warranties related to other loan transfers, breaches of which would require us to repurchase the transferred loans. Finally, we have limited repurchase obligations for certain loan transfers associated with credit-related events, such as early prepayment or events of default within 90 days after origination. Estimated losses associated with credit-related repurchases are evaluated pursuant to ASC 326. In the event of a repurchase, we are typically required to pay the purchase price of the loans transferred.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company accrued liabilities within accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of $ 7,156 and $ 5,196 , respectively, related to our estimated repurchase obligation, with the corresponding charges recorded within noninterest income — loan origination and sales in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount associated with loans sold that were subject to the terms and conditions of our repurchase obligations totaled $ 5.4 billion and $ 3.9 billion, respectively.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $ 9.3 million and $ 9.3 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding with financial institutions. These outstanding letters of credit were issued for the purpose of securing certain of the Company’s operating lease obligations. A portion of the letters of credit was collateralized by $ 3.3 million and $ 3.3 million of the Company’s cash as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which is included within restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Mortgage Banking Regulatory Mandates
The Company is subject to certain state-imposed minimum net worth requirements for the states in which the Company is engaged in the business of a residential mortgage lender. Noncompliance with these requirements on an annual basis could result in potential fines or penalties imposed by the applicable state. Future events or changes in mandates may affect the
58

Company’s ability to meet mortgage banking regulatory requirements. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all minimum net worth requirements and, therefore, has not accrued any liabilities related to fines or penalties.
Retirement Plans
The Company has a 401(k) plan that covers all employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The 401(k) plan is designed to provide tax-deferred retirement benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees may defer up to 100 % of eligible compensation up to the annual maximum as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s contributions to the plan are discretionary. The Company has not made any contributions to the plan to date.
Note 15. Loss Per Share
We compute loss per share attributable to common stock using the two-class method required for participating interests. Prior to the Business Combination, our participating interests included all series of our preferred stock. Series 1 preferred stock has preferential cumulative dividend rights. Pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share , for each period presented, we increased net loss or decreased net income, as applicable, by the contractual amount of dividends payable to Series 1 preferred stock before allocating any remaining undistributed earnings to all participating interests.
Prior to the Business Combination, all other classes of preferred stock, except for Series C, had stated dividend rights, which had priority over undistributed earnings. The remaining losses were shared pro-rata among the preferred stock (with the exception of Series 1 preferred stock) and common stock outstanding during the measurement period, as if all of the losses for the period had been distributed. While our calculation of loss per share accounted for a loss allocation to all participating shares, we only presented loss per share below for our common stock. Basic loss per share of common stock was computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for the impact of Series 1 preferred stock dividends and income (loss) allocated to other participating interests, as applicable, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Because the amount available to distribute to all participating interests after adjusting for redeemable preferred stock dividends was negative in all periods presented, we did not allocate any loss to participating interests in determining the numerator of the basic and diluted loss per share computation, as the allocation of loss would have been anti-dilutive. Further, we excluded the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock elements from the denominator in the computation of diluted loss per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share was as follows for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 16. Business Segment Information
Each of our reportable segments is a strategic business unit that serves specific needs of our members based on the products and services provided. The segments are based on the manner in which management views the financial performance of the business. Contribution profit is the primary measure of segment profit and loss reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and is intended to measure the direct profitability of each segment. Contribution profit is defined as total net revenue for each reportable segment less:
• fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt that are attributable to assumption changes, which impact the contribution profit within the Lending segment. These fair value changes are non-cash in nature and are not realized in the period; therefore, they do not impact the amounts available to fund our operations; and
• expenses directly attributable to the corresponding reportable segment. Directly attributable expenses primarily include compensation and benefits and sales and marketing, and vary based on the amount of activity within each segment. Directly attributable expenses also include loan origination and servicing expenses, professional services, occupancy related costs, and tools and subscriptions. Expenses are attributed to the reportable segments using either direct costs of the segment or labor costs that can be attributed based upon the allocation of employee time for individual products.
The reportable segments also reflect the Company’s organizational structure. Each segment has a segment manager who reports directly to the CODM. The CODM has ultimate authority and responsibility over resource allocation decisions and performance assessment.
The Company has three reportable segments: Lending, Financial Services and Technology Platform. The Lending segment includes our personal loan, student loan and home loan products and the related servicing activities and, for 2020, a commercial loan. We originate loans in each of the aforementioned channels with the objective of either selling whole loans or securitizing a pool of originated loans for transfer to third-party investors. Revenues in the Lending segment are driven by changes in the fair value of our whole loans and securitization interests, gains or losses recognized on transfers that meet the true sale requirements under ASC 860 and our servicing-related activities, which mainly consist of servicing fees and the changes in our servicing assets over time. We also earn the difference between interest income earned on our loans and interest expense on any loans that are financed. Interest expense primarily impacts our Lending segment, and we present interest income net of interest expense, as our CODM considers net interest income in addition to contribution profit in evaluating the performance of the Lending segment and making resource allocation decisions.
The Financial Services segment includes our SoFi Money product, SoFi Invest product, SoFi Credit Card product (which we launched in the third quarter of 2020), SoFi Relay personal finance management product and other financial services, such
60

as equity capital markets and advisory services, lead generation, and content for other financial services institutions and our members. SoFi Money provides members a digital cash management experience, interest income and the ability to separate money balances into various subcategories. SoFi Invest provides investment features and financial planning services that we offer to our members. Revenues in the Financial Services segment include payment network fees on our member transactions and pay for order flow, digital assets transaction fees and share lending arrangements in our SoFi Invest product. Additionally, we earn underwriting fees and enterprise services fees associated with equity capital markets and advisory services we began providing in the second quarter of 2021. We also earn referral fees in connection with referral activity we facilitate through our platform, which is not directly tied to a particular Financial Services product. The referral fee is paid to us by third-party partners that offer services to end users who do not use one of our product offerings, but who were referred to the partners through our platform.
The Technology Platform segment includes our Technology Platform fees, which commenced with our acquisition of Galileo in May 2020, and, in the 2020 periods, our equity method investment in Apex, which represented our portion of net earnings on clearing brokerage activity on the Apex platform. The Company purchased an initial interest in Apex in December 2018, and Apex was the Company’s only material equity method investment as of December 31, 2020. During January 2021, the seller of our Apex interest exercised the Seller Call Option, and as such we no longer recognize Apex equity investment income subsequent to the call date. Due to the additional investment we made during 2020, we will maintain an immaterial investment in Apex, but will no longer qualify for equity method accounting. See Note 2 for additional information on the acquisition of Galileo, and Note 1 for additional information on our Apex equity method investment.
Non-segment operations are classified as Other, which includes net revenues associated with corporate functions that are not directly related to a reportable segment. These non-segment net revenues include interest income earned on corporate cash balances, nonrecurring income on certain investments from available cash on hand (which investments are not interconnected with our core business lines and, thereby, reportable segments), and interest expense on corporate borrowings, such as our revolving credit facility and, for the 2021 period, the seller note issued in connection with our acquisition of Galileo. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net revenues within Other also included $ — and $ 211 , respectively, of interest income and $ — and $ 169 , respectively, of reversal of loss on discount to fair value in connection with related party transactions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, net revenues within Other included $ 879 and $ 1,931 , respectively, of interest income earned in connection with related party transactions. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion of our related party transactions.
The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 1, except for the accounting policies in relation to the allocations of consolidated income and consolidated expenses, as described below.

(1) Noninterest income within the Technology Platform segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included $ 2,599 and $ 3,596 , respectively, of earnings from our equity method investment in Apex. There were no earnings from our equity method investment in Apex during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. See Note 1 under “—Equity Method Investments” for additional information.
(2) Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions, including market servicing costs, conditional prepayment and default rates and discount rates. This non-cash change, which is recorded within noninterest income in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is unrealized during the period and, therefore, has no impact on our cash flows from operations. As such, the changes in fair value attributable to assumption changes are adjusted to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the cash flows available to finance our operations.
(3) Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions, including conditional prepayment and default rates and discount rates. When third parties finance our consolidated VIEs through purchasing residual interests, we receive proceeds at the time of the securitization close and, thereafter, pass along contractual cash flows to the residual interest owner. These obligations are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with fair value changes recorded within noninterest income in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The fair value change attributable to assumption changes has no impact on our initial financing proceeds, our future obligations to the residual interest owner (because future residual interest claims are limited to securitization collateral cash flows), or the general operations of our business. As such, this non-cash change in fair value during the period is adjusted to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the cash flows available to finance our operations.
(4) During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the five largest clients in the Technology Platform segment contributed 65 % and 67 %, respectively, of the total net revenue within the segment, which represented 13 % and 14 %, respectively, of our consolidated total net revenue.

Business Overview
We are a member-centric, one-stop shop for digital financial services that allows members to borrow, save, spend, invest and protect their money. Our mission is to help our members achieve financial independence in order to realize their ambitions. To us, financial independence does not mean being wealthy, but rather represents the ability of our members to have the financial means to achieve their personal objectives at each stage of life, such as owning a home, having a family, or having a career of their choice — more simply stated, to have enough money to do what they want. We were founded in 2011 and have developed a suite of financial products that offers the speed, selection, content, and convenience that only an integrated digital platform can provide. In order for us to achieve our mission, we have to help people get their money right, which means providing them with the ability to borrow better, save better, spend better, invest better and protect better. Everything we do today is geared toward helping our members “Get Your Money Right” and we strive to innovate and build ways for our members to achieve this goal.
Our three reportable segments and their respective products as of June 30, 2021 were as follows:
Lending Financial Services Technology Platform
• Student Loans (1)
• SoFi Money • Technology Platform Services (Galileo)
• Personal Loans • SoFi Invest (2)
• Home Loans • SoFi Relay
• SoFi Credit Card
• SoFi At Work
• SoFi Protect
• Lantern Credit
• Equity capital markets and advisory services
__________________
(1) Composed of in school loans and student loan refinancing.
(2) Our SoFi Invest service is composed of three products: active investing accounts, robo-advisory accounts and digital assets accounts.
We refer to our customers as “members”. We define a member as someone who has a lending relationship with us through origination or servicing, opened a financial services account, linked an external account to our platform, or signed up for our credit score monitoring service. Once someone becomes a member, they are always considered a member unless they violate our terms of service, given that our members have continuous access to our certified financial planners (“CFPs”), our career advice services, our member events, our content, educational material, news, tools and calculators at no cost to the member. Additionally, our mobile app and website have a member home feed that is personalized and delivers content to a member about what they must do that day in their financial life, what they should consider doing that day in their financial life, and what they can do that day in their financial life. Since our inception through June 30, 2021, we have served approximately 2.6 million
65
TABLE OF CONTENTS
members who have used approximately 3.7 million products on the SoFi platform. We believe we are in the early stages of the digital transformation of financial services and, as a result, have a substantial opportunity to continue to grow our member base and increase the number of products that our members use on the SoFi platform.
We offer our members a suite of financial products and services, enabling them to borrow, save, spend, invest and protect within one integrated platform. Our aim is to create a best-in-class, integrated financial services platform that will generate a virtuous cycle whereby positive member experiences will lead to more products adopted per member and enhanced profitability for each additional product by lowering overall member acquisition costs and increasing the lifetime value of our members. We refer to this virtuous cycle as our “Financial Services Productivity Loop”.
We believe that developing a relationship with our members and gaining their trust is central to our success as a financial services platform. Moreover, we believe that some of the current frictions faced by other financial institutions are caused by a disjointed and non-seamless product experience, a lack of digital acquisition, subpar mobile web products instead of digital native apps and incomplete product offerings to meet a customer’s holistic financial needs. Through our mobile technology and continuous effort to improve our financial services products, we are seeking to build a financial services platform that members can access for all of their financial services needs.
We believe we are in the early stages of realizing the benefits of the Financial Services Productivity Loop, as increasing numbers of our members are using multiple products on our platform.
In addition to benefiting our members, our products and capabilities are also designed to appeal to enterprises, such as financial services institutions that subscribe to our enterprise services through SoFi At Work, and other enterprises that leverage our capabilities to assist with equity capital markets and advisory services. These enterprises become interconnected with the SoFi platform when using it for these services. While these enterprises are not considered members, they are important contributors to the growth of the SoFi platform, and, in some cases, also have their own constituents who might benefit from our products in the future. Further, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Galileo, had approximately 79 million total accounts on its platform (excluding SoFi accounts) as of June 30, 2021. Galileo started contributing new accounts to the SoFi ecosystem during the second quarter of 2020.
While we primarily operate in the United States, in 2020, we expanded into Hong Kong with our acquisition of 8 Limited, an investment business. Additionally, with the acquisition of Galileo in May 2020, we gained clients in Mexico.
National Bank Charter. A key element of our long-term strategy is to secure a national bank charter, which we believe can enhance our overall profitability. While we currently rely on third-party bank holding companies to provide banking services to our members, securing a national bank charter would, among other things, allow us to provide members and prospective members broader and more competitive options across their financial services needs, including deposit accounts, and lower our cost to fund loans (by utilizing our SoFi Money members’ deposits to fund our loans), which would enable us to offer lower interest rates on loans to members as well as offer higher interest rates on SoFi Money accounts, all while continuing not to charge non-interest based fees.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In October 2020, we received preliminary, conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) for our application for a national bank charter. Final OCC approval is subject to a number of preopening requirements. In March 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire Golden Pacific Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company (“Golden Pacific”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Pacific Bank, National Association, a national bank (“Golden Pacific Bank”), for a total cash purchase price of $22.3 million. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval, including approval from the OCC of a revised business plan for the acquiree national bank, and approval from the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company and for a change of control, and other customary closing conditions. In March 2021, we also submitted an application to the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company. The application review process is ongoing.
In order to be compliant with all applicable regulations, to operate to the satisfaction of the banking regulators, and to successfully execute our business plan for the bank, SoFi has been building out the required infrastructure to run the bank and to operate as a bank holding company. This effort spans our people and organization, technology, marketing/product management, risk management, compliance, and control functions. We have invested and expect to continue to invest substantial time, money and human resources towards bank readiness, and towards the regulatory approval process. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred direct costs associated with securing a national bank charter of $3.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, which consisted primarily of professional fees and compensation and benefits costs. While largely dependent on the timing of the regulatory approvals, we estimate that we could incur additional costs of approximately $5 million to $10 million through the remainder of the regulatory approval process.
IPO Investment Center. Through our FINRA-registered broker-dealer subsidiary, SoFi Securities LLC (“SoFi Securities”), we are licensed to underwrite securities offerings. In March 2021, we launched an IPO investment center that allows members with a SoFi active Invest account to invest in initial public offerings before they trade on an exchange. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized underwriting fee revenue of $1.8 million within noninterest income — other in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) associated with our IPO Investment Center underwriting activities. We aim to continue to generate revenues in future periods for our IPO investment center activities in the form of underwriting fees.
Our Reportable Segments
We conduct our business through three reportable segments: Lending, Financial Services and Technology Platform. Below is a discussion of our segments and their corresponding products.
Lending Segment
Through our Lending segment, we offer student loans, personal loans, home loans and related services.
Student Loans. We primarily operate in the student loan refinance space, with a focus on super-prime graduate school loans. In 2019, we expanded into “in-school” lending, which allows members to borrow funds while they attend school. We offer flexible loan sizes and repayment options, as well as competitive rates, on our student loan refinancing and in-school loan products.
Personal Loans. We primarily originate personal loans for debt consolidation purposes and home improvement projects. We offer fixed and variable rate loans with no origination fees and flexible repayment terms, such as unemployment protection. There are other personal loan purposes or channels that we have not aggressively pursued, which we believe could represent opportunities for us in the future.
Home Loans. We have historically offered agency and non-agency loans for members purchasing a home or refinancing an existing mortgage. For our home loan products, we offer competitive rates, flexible down-payment options for as little as 5% and educational tools and calculators.
A key element of our underwriting process is the ability to facilitate risk-based interest rates that are appropriate for each loan. Using SoFi’s proprietary risk models, we project quarterly loan performance, including expected losses and prepayments. The outcome of this process helps us determine a more data-driven, risk-adjusted interest rate that we can offer our members.
SoFi has built a comprehensive underwriting process across each lending product that is focused on willingness to pay (measured by credit attributes), ability to pay (measured through income verification), and capacity to pay (measured by debt service in relation to other loans). Our student loan and personal loan underwriting models consider credit reports, industry credit and bankruptcy prediction models, custom credit assessment models, and debt capacity analysis, as indicated by borrower free cash flow (defined as borrower monthly net income less revolving and installment payments less housing payments). Our minimum FICO requirements are 650 for student loan refinancing, 650 for in-school loans (primary or co-signer) and 680 for personal loans. We decreased our in-school loan minimum FICO requirement in conjunction with our launch of a revised
67
TABLE OF CONTENTS
underwriting strategy, which utilizes an advanced risk model that focuses on borrowers' ability to pay and provides refined risk separation. Home loans originated by SoFi that are agency conforming loans are subject to credit, debt service, and collateral eligibility established by Fannie Mae. Existing members generally experience a higher approval rate than new members, subject to the existing member being in good standing on their existing products. Home loans originated by SoFi that are non-agency loans are subject to our credit criteria, including a minimum tri-bureau credit score, established credit history requirements, income verification, as well as maximum qualified mortgage limits on debt-to-income service and caps on loan-to-value based on an accredited appraisal. We also leverage our data to provide existing members a streamlined application process through automation.
Our lending business is primarily a gain-on-sale model, whereby we originate loans and recognize a gain from these loans when we sell them into either our whole loan or securitization channels. We sell our whole loans primarily to large financial institutions, such as bank holding companies, typically at a premium to par, and in excess of our costs to originate the loans. Our loan premiums fluctuate from time to time based on benchmark rates and credit spreads, and we are not guaranteed a gain on all or any of our loan sales. When securitizing loans, we first isolate the underlying loans in a trust and then sell the beneficial interests in the trust to a bankruptcy-remote entity. In securitization transactions that do not qualify for sale accounting, the related assets remain on our balance sheet and cash proceeds received are reported as liabilities, with related interest expense recognized over the life of the related borrowing. In securitization transactions that qualify for sale accounting, we typically have insignificant continuing involvement as an investor. In the case of both whole loan sales and securitizations, we also typically continue to retain servicing rights following transfer. We, therefore, view servicing as an integral component of the Lending segment.
Prior to selling our loans, we hold them on our balance sheet at fair value and rely upon warehouse financing arrangements. Net interest income, which we define as the difference between the earned interest income and interest expense to finance loans, is a key component of the profitability of our Lending segment.
With the exception of certain of our home loans, we retain servicing rights to our originated loans, and believe our servicing function is an important asset because of the connection to the member it affords us throughout the life of the loan. We directly service all of the personal loans that we originate. We act as master servicer for, and rely on sub-servicers to directly service, all of our student loans and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) conforming home loans. We believe this ongoing relationship with our members enhances the effectiveness of our Financial Services Productivity Loop by increasing member touchpoints and driving increases in the number of products per member.
Furthermore, our platform supports the full transaction lifecycle, including credit application, underwriting, approval, funding and servicing. Through data derived at loan origination and throughout the servicing process, SoFi has life-of-loan performance data on each loan in its ecosystem, which provides a meaningful data asset.
Financial Services Segment
Our Financial Services segment consists of cash management, investment and other financial services activities.
SoFi Money
Through SoFi Money, a digital, mobile cash management experience for our members, we invest in member acquisition and marketing activities to attract new members, including by offering rewards to incentivize prospective members to house their cash management activities on the SoFi platform.
We generate interest income from deposits sitting in our various member banks, which is reduced by the interest fees paid to members. We also earn payment network fees on member expenditures via SoFi-branded debit cards issued by one of our member bank holding companies (each a “Member Bank”). Payment network fees are reduced by direct fees payable to card associations and the Member Bank.
The Bancorp Bank (“Bancorp”) is the issuer of all SoFi Money debit cards and sponsors access to debit networks for payment transactions, funding transactions and associated settlement of funds under a sponsorship agreement with SoFi Securities. Additionally, Bancorp provides sponsorship and support for ACH, check, and wire transactions along with associated funds settlement. The SoFi Money product also utilizes a sweep administrator, UMB Bank, National Association (“UMB”), to sweep funds to and from the SoFi Money program banks, as necessary, under a program broker agreement between SoFi Securities and UMB and program account and program bank agreements with a variety of sweep program banks. The SoFi Securities agreement with Bancorp provides for receipt by Bancorp of program revenue and transaction fees, and is subject to a minimum monthly card activity fee. The agreement with Bancorp is terminable by SoFi Securities with 120 days prior notice. The program broker agreement between SoFi Securities and UMB provides for one-year terms that automatically renew and is terminable by either party with at least 90 days’ written notice prior to the end of the current term. The program
68
TABLE OF CONTENTS
account agreements and program bank agreements between SoFi Securities, UMB and the sweep banks provide for the rate of interest payable on the balances in a member’s SoFi Money account and include certain maximum transfer requirements on transfers. These arrangements are generally terminable upon termination of SoFi Securities’ sweep arrangement with UMB.
SoFi Invest
We also provide introductory brokerage services to our members, and have invested significantly in creating SoFi Invest, a streamlined mobile investing experience through which we offer multiple ways to invest and give members access to active investing, robo-advisory and digital assets services. While we do not charge trading fees, other than for digital assets trading, our platform benefits from increasing assets under management as we generate interest income on cash balances that we hold, and we also earn brokerage revenue through share lending and pay for order flow arrangements. We also believe there are opportunities to generate incremental future revenue through margin lending and options. Through our acquisition of 8 Limited in 2020, we expanded SoFi Invest into the Hong Kong market. With respect to our digital assets trading activities, which we initiated in 2019, we do not hold or store members' digital assets, but instead rely on a third party custodian, and we hold an immaterial amount of digital assets in order to facilitate paying new member bonuses when members initiate their first digital assets trade. We do this for member convenience to facilitate a seamless payment of digital assets.
Furthermore, our innovative “stock bits” feature allows members to purchase fractional shares in various companies. Through our “stock bits” offering, members with SoFi Invest active brokerage accounts may buy or sell fractional shares in a variety of equity securities. Members can place orders in dollars or shares. During the course of a trading day, all member orders are consolidated into a single order for each equity security, which may be a sell or buy order. These fractional orders are rounded up to the next whole share and executed as a market order prior to market close on a standard trading day. Following market close, we allocate the trades to each individual member. We maintain a stock inventory for each issuer for whose securities we provide fractional trading in order to facilitate “stock bits” trades.
Other
In August 2020, we began offering the SoFi Credit Card, which we expanded to a broader market in the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, we developed SoFi Relay within the SoFi mobile application, a personal finance management product which allows members to track all of their financial accounts in one place and utilize credit score monitoring services. Further, we leverage our technology and information infrastructure to offer services to other enterprises, such as loan referrals and SoFi At Work, which is a platform we offer to enterprises that are looking for a seamless way to provide financial benefits to their employees, such as student loan payments made on their employees’ behalf, for which we earn a fee. We have also developed a financial services marketplace platform branded as Lantern Credit to help applicants that do not qualify for SoFi products find alternative products, as well as providing a product comparison experience. Finally, commencing in the second quarter of 2021, we started earning revenues for equity capital markets and advisory services.
We earn revenues in connection with our Financial Services segment through various partnerships and our SoFi Money and SoFi Invest products in the following ways:
• Referral fees : Through strategic partnerships, we earn a specified referral fee in connection with referral activity we facilitate through our platform, which is not directly tied to a particular Financial Services product. The referral fee is paid to us by third-party partners that offer services to end users who do not use one of our product offerings, but who were referred to the partners through our platform. As such, the third-party enterprise partners are our customers in these referral arrangements.
• Payment network fees : We earn payment network fees, which primarily constitute interchange fees from our SoFi Money and SoFi Credit Card products, which are reduced by fees payable to card associations and the issuing bank holding company. These fees are remitted by merchants and are calculated by multiplying a set fee percentage (as stipulated by the debit card payment network) by the transaction volume processed through such network. We arrange for performance by a card association and the bank issuer to enable certain aspects of the SoFi branded transaction card process. We enter into contracts with both parties that establish the shared economics of SoFi branded transaction cards.
• Enterprise service fees : These fees are earned in connection with services we provide to enterprise partners, such as when we facilitate transactions for the benefit of their employees, such as 529 plan contributions or student loan payments through our At Work product, which represents our single performance obligation in the arrangements. Commencing in the second quarter of 2021, enterprise services also included fees for providing advisory services to an enterprise partner to facilitate reaching a quorum on their shareholder vote, which represented our single performance obligation in the arrangement. Our fee was a success-based fee for achieving contractually-specified targets, which
69
TABLE OF CONTENTS
represented variable consideration at contract inception. However, as advisory fees were billed to, and collected directly from, our partner only once our performance obligation was satisfied, the variable consideration within the reporting period was not constrained. Our revenue was reported on a gross basis, as we acted in the capacity of a principal, demonstrated the requisite control over the service, and were primarily responsible for fulfilling the performance obligation to our enterprise partner. These fees are discussed herein as a component of equity capital markets and advisory services.
• Brokerage fees : We earn brokerage fees from our share lending and pay for order flow arrangements related to our SoFi Invest product (for which Apex Clearing Holdings, LLC, or “Apex”, serves as principal), exchange conversion services and digital assets activity. In our share lending arrangements and pay for order flow arrangements with Apex, we do not oversee the execution of the transactions by our members, but benefit through a negotiated multi-year revenue sharing arrangement, since our members' brokerage activity drives the share lending and pay for order flow volume. Apex connects with market makers (order flow) and institutions (share lending) to facilitate the service and is responsible for execution. Apex carries inventory risk with the share lending program and ultimately is responsible for successful order routing to market makers that trigger the pay for order flow revenue. Apex sets the gross price and negotiates with market makers and institutions as part of our order flow and share lending arrangements. We have no discretion or visibility into this pricing and, instead, negotiate a net fee for our order flow and share lending arrangements, which is settled with Apex rather than with market makers or other institutions. In our digital assets arrangements, our fee is calculated as a negotiated percentage of the transaction volume. In our exchange conversion arrangements, we earn fees for exchanging one currency for another. Historically, these fees have not been a significant portion of our total net revenue. Our arrangements with Apex are governed by an agreement which contains certain minimum monthly requirements and which is terminable by either party upon notice. Although we no longer have an equity method investment in Apex as of the balance sheet date, Apex continues to provide the services under this agreement.
• Underwriting Fees : Commencing in the second quarter of 2021, we earned underwriting fees related to our membership in underwriting syndicates for initial public offerings. The underwriting of securities is the only performance obligation in our underwriting agreements, and we recognize underwriting fees on the trade date. Moreover, we are a principal in our underwriting agreements, because we demonstrate the requisite control over the satisfaction of the performance obligation through the assumption of underwriter liability for our designated share allotment. As such, we recognize underwriting fee revenue on a gross basis.
• Net interest income : Our SoFi Invest and SoFi Money products also generate net interest income based on the cash balances held in these accounts. Historically, this income has not been a significant portion of our total net revenue.
Technology Platform Segment
Our Technology Platform segment consists of Galileo, and historically included our minority ownership of Apex, a technology-enabled provider of investment custody and clearing brokerage services, in which we invested in December 2018. During January 2021, the seller of the Apex interest exercised its call rights on our Apex investment. Therefore, we did not recognize any Apex equity method investment income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, nor will we have such equity method investment income in future periods. Additionally, we measured the carrying value of the Apex equity method investment as of December 31, 2020 equal to the call payment that we received in January 2021. Although following the exercise of the seller’s call rights we no longer have an equity method investment in Apex or recognize equity method investment income, Apex continues to provide investment custody and clearing services for SoFi Invest, including for our brokerage activities, under a multi-year revenue sharing arrangement.
In May 2020, we acquired Galileo, a provider of technology platform services to financial and non-financial institutions. Through Galileo, we provide services through a suite of program, event and authorization application programming interfaces for financial and non-financial institutions. Additionally, Galileo provides vertical integration benefits with SoFi Money. In addition to growth in its U.S. client base, Galileo is increasingly focused on international opportunities, including in Latin America and Asia.
We earn revenue on Galileo’s platform in the following two ways:
• Technology Platform Fees: The platform fees we earn are based on access to the platform and are specific to the type of transaction. For example, we offer “event pricing”, which includes a specific charge for an account setup, an active account on file, use of Program, Event and Authorization Application Programming Interfaces (“APIs”), card activation, authorizations and processing, and card loads. In addition, we offer “partner pricing”, which is the back-end
70
TABLE OF CONTENTS
support we provide to Galileo’s clients, such as live agent customer service, chargeback and fraud analysis and credit bureau reporting, all within one integrated solution for our clients.
• Program Management Fees: Also referred to as “card program fees”, these transaction fees are generated from the creation and management of card programs issued by banks and requested by enterprise partners. In these arrangements, Galileo performs card management services and the revenue stems from the payment network and card program fees generated by the card program. This revenue is reduced by association and bank issuer costs, and a revenue share passed along to the enterprise partner that markets the card program. We categorize this class of revenue as payment network fees.
Galileo typically enters into multi-year service contracts with its clients. The contracts provide for a variety of integrated platform services, which vary by client and are generally either non-cancellable or cancellable with a substantive payment. Pricing structures under these contracts are typically volume-based, or a combination of activity- and volume-based, and payment terms are predominantly monthly in arrears. Most of Galileo’s contracts contain minimum monthly payments with agreed upon monthly service levels and may contain penalties if service levels are not met.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Although the long-term effects of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic globally and in the United States remain unknown, we are seeing signs of recovery from the impacts of the pandemic due to the increased availability of vaccinations and evolving government stimulus programs, particularly in the United States, including businesses and schools reopening, improved employment metrics, and increased consumer spending and confidence levels. However, we continue to monitor developments related to the pandemic, particularly the spread of additional strains of the COVID virus and potential related impacts. Through our business continuity program, which was expanded in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to monitor the recommendations and protocols published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and the World Health Organization, as well as state and local governments, and to communicate with employees on a regular basis to provide updated information and corporate policies. As the guidance issued by governments and regulators continues to evolve, we likewise continue to assess the impacts on us and to adjust our business operations, policies and procedures as needed to best accommodate our ecosystem of members and prospective members, Member Banks and employees. See “— Key Factors Affecting Operating Results — Industry Trends and General Economic Conditions ” for discussion of the impact to our business of measures taken in response to the economic and financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have continued to adapt our response and strategies to navigate uncertain economic, workplace and market conditions. We have taken a number of measures to proactively support our members, applicants for new loans, employees and investors.
Members : We have and will continue to approach hardship programs from a member-first perspective. In addition to our Unemployment Protection Plan, which remains available to all eligible members, we launched comprehensive forbearance programs that provided meaningful Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster hardship relief. Starting in March 2020, we made available a web-enabled self-service forbearance request process to enable members who faced unemployment, reduction in income or general economic uncertainty to defer their loan payment for an initial period with options to extend. For student loans and personal loans, when a forbearance request was accepted, interest on the loan continued to accrue and is amortized over the remaining life of the loan, and the maturity date of the loan is extended for the length of the deferment. Home loans are subject to FNMA servicing guidelines, which provide certain options to the borrower. In accordance with these guidelines, after the forbearance period has ended, members are required to repay the amount that was suspended, but are not required to repay the amount all at once, though they have that option. Other potential options we offer allow members to repay all delinquent amounts gradually over a period of time in addition to their regular monthly payments, move the deferred amount to the end of the loan term, or set up a loan modification, if they are eligible. In all instances, interest continues to accrue during the forbearance period. In response to the hardship brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we also deferred certain collection recovery activities, while taking every opportunity to work with our members to find a path to repayment. We discontinued enrollment in our COVID-19 forbearance programs, which were designed to be temporary in nature, for personal loans and student loans on March 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, respectively. Although enrollment in COVID-19 forbearance programs for home loans remains open, new requests remain low and are primarily related to extensions of existing forbearance. Subject to eligibility, members may participate in other customary hardship programs.
71
TABLE OF CONTENTS
As of June 30, 2021, the loans in active short-term hardship relief or payment deferral due to the COVID-19 pandemic included 95 student loans with an aggregate balance of $6.0 million and 84 home loans with an aggregate balance of $22.9 million. There were no personal loans in this category due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Applicants : In response to deteriorating economic conditions and market uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 we proactively executed our recession readiness credit risk strategies. This included introducing elevated credit eligibility requirements for personal loans, thorough validation of income and income continuity, and limiting loan amounts. We expected originations incorporating credit risk strategy changes, when stressed using external loss forecasting models with stressed econometric scenarios, to perform similarly to previous vintages. Our student loan refinance business is substantially composed of applicants refinancing federal loans and/or existing private student loans. We developed objective content and calculators to educate applicants about the Federal relief available to them through the CARES Act and subsequent extensions, which enabled them to maximize their savings. Throughout the first half of 2021, we adapted our elevated credit eligibility requirements for personal loans through phases of reopening following our metric-driven, return-to-normalcy action plan.
Employees : In order to safeguard the health and safety of our team members and their families, we virtualized our entire organization beginning in March 2020, enabling all of our team members to work virtually. We have taken a proactive approach to enable ongoing communication and engagement. In February 2021, we announced that our employees may work with their managers to determine the best place for them to work from, including continuing to work virtually. Additionally, based on feedback we received from an employee engagement survey, we initiated a pilot reopening of our U.S. offices in July 2021 on a voluntary basis. In the Fall of 2021, we expect to commence a staggered Return-To-Workplace program, followed by a full reopening of all United States SoFi office locations. We will continue to align our protocols with evolving CDC, state and local guidelines to continue to safeguard the health and safety of our team members and their families.
Investors : Durability of, and confidence in, the performance of our originated asset classes has never been more important. Despite uncertain market and economic conditions, our serviced assets continue to perform at historic low delinquency and loss metrics, even when adjusted for forbearance. The majority of our members have validated their income resiliency and have returned to making full or partial payments on their loan or have paid in full. We have identified members who have sustained hardships and we have worked constructively with the investor community to establish expanded loss mitigation tools to maximize recovery while providing empathy for distressed members. Our team has worked to provide greater transparency to our investor community through access to our Capital Markets and Risk Management team and by providing internal and external analytical and stress testing forecasts, which provide a range of economic scenarios that could manifest in performance of their owned assets. Investors continue to not only have demand for our assets, but have grown their demand for our assets in light of their demonstrated performance.
Delinquencies : Members enrolled in forbearance or hardship relief programs do not appear in delinquency metrics and are not subject to collection activity. Despite this, during any re-enrollment, we work with members to determine when a short-term hardship becomes long-term, which requires differing solutions to ensure a member has the best chance for repayment success. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we provided online self-service opportunities to members to request initial relief and subsequently extend that short-term forbearance relief as needed (subject to approval). COVID-19 hardship relief was available to members who were current or delinquent at the time of request, although the majority of student loan and personal loan initial enrollments were members who were “current” at the time of enrollment. The vast majority of members that entered COVID-19 hardship programs have exited such programs.
Liquidity : We took action to prepare for potential liquidity needs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic by securing additional committed warehouse capacity in May 2020. We were able to manage these needs along with other liquidity needs of our business by relying on our strong liquidity position going into the crisis, having a deep and diversified portfolio of warehouse lenders, being proactive and forward-looking as it related to anticipated liquidity risks and needs, and managing decisions conservatively with regard to loan origination growth and loan sales.
We remain committed to serving our members, applicants and investors, while caring for the safety of our employees and their families. See Part II, Item 1A “ Risk Factors — COVID-19 Pandemic Risks ” for additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Executive Overview
The following tables display key financial measures for our three reportable segments and our consolidated company that are used, along with our key business metrics, by management to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends and make strategic decisions. Contribution profit (loss) is the primary measure of segment-level profit and loss reviewed by management and is defined as total net revenue for each reportable segment less expenses directly attributable to the corresponding reportable segment and, in the case of our Lending segment, less fair value adjustments attributable to assumption changes associated with our servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt. See “— Results of Operations ” , “ — Summary Results by Segment ” and “ — Non-GAAP Financial Measures ” herein for discussion and analysis of these key financial measures.

___________________
(1) Adjusted net revenue within our Lending segment is used by management to evaluate our Lending segment and our consolidated results. For our Lending segment, total net revenue is adjusted to exclude the fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt due to valuation inputs and assumption changes (including conditional prepayment and default and discount rates). We use this adjusted measure in our determination of contribution profit (loss) in the Lending segment, as well as to evaluate our consolidated results, as it removes non-cash charges that are not realized during the period and, therefore, do not impact the cash available to fund our operations, and our overall liquidity position. For our Financial Services and Technology Platform segments, there are no adjustments from total net revenue to arrive at the consolidated adjusted net revenue shown in this table.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
(2) Adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. For information regarding our uses and definitions of these measures and for reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) measures, see “ — Non-GAAP Financial Measures ”.
(3) There was no interest income recorded within our Technology Platform segment for any of the periods presented.

Key Recent Developments
We continue to execute on our growth and other strategic initiatives and in recent years, we have celebrated launches across our product suite and strategic partnerships, establishing ourselves as a platform that enables individuals to borrow, save, spend, invest, and protect their assets. Some of our key recent achievements are discussed below.
Acquisitions
In January 2021, Social Finance entered into the Agreement by and among SoFi, SCH, and Plutus Merger Sub Inc. The transactions contemplated by the terms of the Agreement were completed on May 28, 2021, upon which SoFi survived the merger and became a wholly owned subsidiary of SCH, which concurrently changed its name to “SoFi Technologies, Inc.” Shares of SoFi Technologies’ common stock and SoFi Technologies’ warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “SOFI” and “SOFIW”, respectively, on June 1, 2021, in lieu of the ordinary shares, warrants and units of SCH. See Note 2 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the transaction.
In March 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire Golden Pacific Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Pacific Bank, National Association, a national bank, for a total cash purchase price of $22.3 million. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval, including approval from the OCC of a revised business plan for Golden Pacific Bank, and approval from the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company and for a change of control, and other customary closing conditions, which we anticipate can be completed by the end of 2021. In March 2021, we submitted an application to the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company. The application review process is ongoing.
In May 2020, we completed our acquisition of Galileo for a purchase price of $1.2 billion. Galileo provides technology platform services to financial and non-financial institutions. Our acquisition of Galileo represented a material addition to our Technology Platform segment, but was not a significant acquisition under Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05, Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired or to be Acquired.
In April 2020, we acquired 8 Limited, a Hong Kong based investment business, for a purchase price of $16.1 million. Our acquisition of 8 Limited marked our first expansion outside the United States and enables our non-U.S. members to experience many of the product features we have developed in the United States for SoFi Invest, including zero commission non-digital assets trading.
Product Development and Partnerships
In May 2021, we launched a feature in our SoFi Money product that enables members to receive their qualifying direct deposit paychecks (or other eligible direct deposits) up to two days earlier than their regularly scheduled payday, providing them quicker access to money they have already earned.
Through our FINRA-registered broker-dealer subsidiary, SoFi Securities, we are licensed to underwrite securities offerings. In March 2021, we launched an IPO investment center that allows members with a SoFi active Invest account to invest in initial public offerings before they trade on an exchange. Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, we began earning revenues from our underwriting services. See “—Business Overview” for additional information.
In 2020, we celebrated the official opening of SoFi Stadium and the establishment of a 20-year partnership with LA Stadium and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California, a multi-purpose sports and entertainment district that serves as the stadium for the National Football League teams the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams. SoFi's 20-year partnership with the LA Stadium and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park, across the naming rights and sponsorship agreements, collectively requires SoFi to pay sponsorship fees quarterly in each contract year beginning in 2020 and ending in 2040 for an aggregate total of $625.0 million, which includes operating lease obligations, finance lease obligations and sponsorship and advertising opportunities at the stadium complex. See Note 14 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of an associated contingent matter.
In the second half of 2020, we launched our SoFi Credit Card, which carries no annual membership fee and provides up to two percent unlimited cash back when the cash back rewards are applied to a SoFi Money or SoFi Invest account, or are used to
74
TABLE OF CONTENTS
pay down SoFi student loans or personal loans, as well as a one-percent annual percentage rate reduction after 12 consecutive on-time credit card payments, with the reduced rate sustained with continued on-time payments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management and board of directors use adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating performance, formulate business plans, help better assess our overall liquidity position, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted net revenue and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
Adjusted Net Revenue
Adjusted net revenue is defined as total net revenue, adjusted to exclude the fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt due to valuation inputs and assumptions changes, which relate only to our Lending segment. We adjust total net revenue to exclude the fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt due to valuation inputs and assumptions changes, as they are non-cash charges that are not realized during the period, and therefore positive or negative changes do not impact the cash available to fund our operations. This measure helps provide our management with an understanding of the net revenue available to finance our operations and helps management better decide on the proper expenses to authorize for each of our operating segments, to ultimately help achieve target contribution profit margins. Therefore, the measure of adjusted net revenue serves as both the starting point for how we think about the liquidity generated from our operations and also the starting point for our annual financial planning, the latter of which focuses on the cash we expect to generate from our operating segments to help fund the current year’s strategic objectives. Adjusted net revenue has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as total net revenue. The primary limitation of adjusted net revenue is its lack of comparability to other companies that do not utilize this measure or that use a similar measure that is defined in a different manner. We reconcile adjusted net revenue to total net revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as presented for the periods indicated below:

Moreover, these non-cash charges are unrealized during the period and, therefore, have no impact on our cash flows from operations. As such, these positive and negative changes are adjusted out of total net revenue to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the net revenue available to finance our operations and our overall performance.
(2) Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions on residual interests classified as debt, including conditional prepayment and default rates and discount rates. When third parties finance our consolidated securitization Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) by purchasing residual interests, we receive proceeds at the time of the closing of the securitization and, thereafter, pass along contractual cash flows to the residual interest owner. These residual debt obligations are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but they have no impact on our initial financing proceeds, our future obligations to the residual interest owner (because future residual interest claims are limited to contractual securitization collateral cash flows), or the general operations of our business. As such, these positive and negative non-cash changes in fair value attributable to assumption changes are adjusted out of total net revenue to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the net revenue available to finance our operations.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (i) corporate borrowing-based interest expense (our adjusted EBITDA measure is not adjusted for warehouse or securitization-based interest expense, nor deposit interest expense and finance lease liability interest expense, as discussed further below), (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based expense (inclusive of equity-based payments to non-employees), (v) impairment expense (inclusive of goodwill impairment and of property, equipment and software abandonments), (vi) transaction-related expenses, (vii) warrant fair value adjustments, and (viii) fair value changes in servicing rights and residual interests classified as debt due to valuation assumptions. We believe adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure for period-over-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash items and certain charges that are not indicative of our core operating performance or results of operations. It is also a measure that management relies upon to evaluate cash flows generated from operations, and therefore the extent of additional capital, if any, required to invest in strategic initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net income (loss). Some of the limitations of adjusted EBITDA include that it does not reflect the impact of working capital requirements or capital expenditures and it is not a universally consistent calculation among companies in our industry, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure.
We reconcile adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated below:

___________________
(1) Our adjusted EBITDA measure adjusts for corporate borrowing-based interest expense, which includes interest on our revolving credit facility and the seller note issued in connection with our acquisition of Galileo (for periods prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2021) and other financings assumed in the acquisition, as these expenses are a function of our capital structure. Our adjusted EBITDA measure does not adjust for interest expense on warehouse facilities and securitization debt, which are recorded within interest expense — securitizations and warehouses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), as these interest expenses are direct operating expenses driven by loan origination and sales activity. Additionally, our adjusted EBITDA measure does not adjust for interest expense on SoFi Money deposits or interest expense on our finance lease liability in connection with SoFi Stadium, which are recorded within interest expense — other , as these interest expenses are
76
TABLE OF CONTENTS
direct operating expenses driven by SoFi Money deposits and finance leases, respectively. As compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a higher average balance on our revolving credit facility as a result of the Galileo acquisition, as well as interest expense related to the Galileo seller note issued in May 2020, which we repaid in February 2021.
(2) The significant change in our income tax position for the 2021 periods relative to 2020 was primarily due to a partial release of our valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2020 in connection with deferred tax liabilities resulting from intangible assets acquired from Galileo in May 2020. See Note 12 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(3) Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to: (i) amortization expense on intangible assets acquired during the second quarter of 2020 from Galileo and 8 Limited, (ii) amortization of purchased and internally-developed software, and (iii) depreciation related to SoFi Stadium related fixed assets.
(4) During the three months ended June 30, 2021, transaction-related expenses included the special payment to the Series 1 preferred stockholders in conjunction with the Business Combination. Transaction-related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 also included financial advisory and professional services costs associated with our pending purchase of Golden Pacific Bancorp, Inc. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, transaction-related expenses included certain costs, such as financial advisory and professional services costs, associated with our acquisitions of Galileo and 8 Limited.
(5) In 2019, Social Finance issued Series H warrants in connection with certain redeemable preferred stock issuances, which were accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In conjunction with the Closing of the Business Combination, we measured the final fair value of the Series H warrants and subsequently reclassified them into permanent equity. Therefore, we will not measure the Series H warrants at fair value on an ongoing basis, subsequent to May 28, 2021. In addition, in conjunction with the Business Combination, SoFi Technologies assumed certain common stock warrants (“SoFi Technologies warrants”) that are accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value on a recurring basis, subsequent to the Business Combination. Our adjusted EBITDA measure excludes the non-cash fair value changes in the Series H warrants and the SoFi Technologies warrants during the periods wherein each class of warrants was measured at fair value through earnings. The increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 were primarily attributable to a significant increase in our assumed Series H redeemable preferred stock share price for the Series H warrants, as well as the assumption of the SoFi Technologies warrants in the second quarter of 2021. The fair value of the SoFi Technologies warrants is based on the closing price of ticker SOFIW and, therefore, fluctuates based on market activity. See Note 7 and Note 9 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these classes of warrants.
(6) Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions, including market servicing costs, conditional prepayment and default rates and discount rates. This non-cash change is unrealized during the period and, therefore, has no impact on our cash flows from operations. As such, these positive and negative changes in fair value attributable to assumption changes are adjusted out of net loss to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the earnings available to finance our operations.
(7) Reflects changes in fair value inputs and assumptions, including conditional prepayment and default rates and discount rates. When third parties finance our consolidated VIEs through purchasing residual interests, we receive proceeds at the time of the securitization close and, thereafter, pass along contractual cash flows to the residual interest owner. These obligations are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which has no impact on our initial financing proceeds, our future obligations to the residual interest owner (because future residual interest claims are limited to contractual securitization collateral cash flows), or the general operations of our business. As such, these positive and negative non-cash changes in fair value attributable to assumption changes are adjusted out of net loss to provide management and financial users with better visibility into the earnings available to finance our operations.

Members
We refer to our customers as “members”, as defined in “— Business Overview” . We view members as an indication not only of the size and a measurement of growth of our business, but also as a measure of the significant value of the data we have collected over time. The data we collect from our members helps us to, among other things: (i) assess loan life performance data on each loan in our ecosystem, which can inform risk-based interest rates that we can offer our members, (ii) understand our members’ spending behavior to identify and suggest other products we offer that may align with the members’ financial needs; and (iii) enhance our opportunities to sell additional products to our members, as our members represent a vital source of marketing opportunities. When we provide additional products to members, it helps improve our unit economics per member, as we save on marketing costs we would otherwise incur to attract new members. It also increases the lifetime value of an individual member. This in turn enhances our Financial Services Productivity Loop. Member growth is generally an indicator of future revenue, but is not directly correlated with revenues, since not all members who sign up for one of our products fully utilize or continue to use our products, and not all of our products (such as our complementary product, SoFi Relay) provide direct sources of revenue.
Total Products
Total products refers to the aggregate number of lending and financial services products that our members have selected on our platform since our inception through the reporting date, whether or not the members are still registered for such products. In our Lending segment, total products refers to the number of home loans, personal loans and student loans that have been originated through our platform through the reporting date, whether or not such loans have been paid off. If a member has multiple loan products of the same loan product type, such as two personal loans, that is counted as a single product. However, if a member has multiple loan products across loan product types, such as one personal loan and one home loan, that is counted as two products. In our Financial Services segment, total products refers to the number of SoFi Money accounts, SoFi Invest accounts, SoFi Credit Card accounts (including accounts with a zero dollar balance at the reporting date), SoFi At Work accounts and SoFi Relay accounts (with either credit score monitoring enabled or external linked accounts) that have been opened through our platform through the reporting date. Our SoFi Invest service is composed of three products: active investing accounts, robo-advisory accounts and digital asset accounts. Our members can select any one or combination of the three types of SoFi Invest products. If a member has multiple SoFi Invest products of the same account type, such as two active investing accounts, that is counted as a single product. However, if a member has multiple SoFi Invest products across account types, such as one active investing account and one robo-advisory account, those separate account types are considered separate products. Total products is a primary indicator of the size and reach of our Lending and Financial Services segments. Management relies on total products metrics to understand the effectiveness of our member acquisition efforts and to gauge the propensity for members to use more than one product. As of June 30, 2021, we had 3,667,121 total products.

Technology Platform Total Accounts
In our Technology Platform segment, total accounts refers to the number of open accounts at Galileo as of the reporting date, excluding SoFi accounts. We exclude SoFi accounts because revenue generated by Galileo from the SoFi relationship is eliminated in consolidation. No information is reported prior to our acquisition of Galileo on May 14, 2020. Total accounts is a primary indicator of the accounts dependent upon Galileo’s technology platform to use virtual card products, virtual wallets, make peer-to-peer and bank-to-bank transfers, receive early paychecks, separate savings from spending balances, make debit transactions and rely upon real-time authorizations, all of which result in technology platform fees for the Technology Platform segment.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
Our future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges and other factors, including our loan origination volume, financial services products and member activity on our platform, growth in Galileo accounts, competition and industry trends, general economic conditions and whether or not we are able to secure a national bank charter.
Origination Volume
Our Lending segment is our largest segment, comprising 72% and 83% of our total net revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 74% and 88% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
79
TABLE OF CONTENTS
respectively. We are dependent upon the addition of new members and new activity from existing members within our Lending segment to generate origination volume, which we believe is a contributor to Lending segment net revenue. We believe we have a high-quality loan portfolio, as indicated by our weighted average origination FICO score of 763 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. See “— Industry Trends and General Economic Conditions ” for the impact of specific economic factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on origination volume.
Member Growth and Activity
We have invested heavily in our platform and are dependent on continued member growth, as well as our ability to generate additional revenues from our existing members using additional products and services. Member growth and activity is critical to our ability to increase our scale and earn a return on our technology and product investments. Growth in members and member activity will depend heavily on our ability to continue to offer attractive products and services at sustainable costs and our continued member acquisition and marketing efforts.
Product Growth
Our aim is to develop and offer a best-in-class integrated financial services platform with products that meet the broad objectives of our members and the lifecycle of their financial needs. We have invested, and continue to invest, heavily in the development, improvement and marketing of our suite of lending and financial services products and are dependent on continued growth in the number of products selected by our members, as well as our ability to build trust and reliability between our members and our platform to reinforce the effects of the Financial Services Productivity Loop. In order to deliver on our strategy, we aim to foster positive member experiences designed to lead to more products per member, leading to enhanced profitability for each additional product by lowering overall member acquisition costs.
Galileo Account Growth
During 2020, we acquired Galileo, which primarily provides technology platform services to financial and non-financial institutions, to enable us to diversify our business from a primarily consumer-based business to also serve enterprises that rely upon Galileo’s integrated platform as a service to serve their clients. We are dependent on growth in the number of accounts at Galileo, which is an indication of the amount of users that are dependent upon the technology platform for a variety of products and services, including virtual card products, virtual wallets, peer-to-peer and bank-to-bank transfers, early paychecks and relying on real-time authorizations, all of which generate revenues for Galileo.
Competition
We face competition from several financial services institutions given our status as a diversified financial services provider. In each of our reportable segments, we may compete with more established financial institutions, some of which have more financial resources than we do. We compete at multiple levels, including competition among other personal loan, student loan, credit card and residential mortgage lenders, competition for deposits in our SoFi Money product from traditional banks and other non-bank lenders, competition for investment accounts in our SoFi Invest product from other brokerage firms, including those based on online or mobile platforms, competition for subscribers to our financial services content, and competition with other technology platforms for the enterprise services we provide. Some of our competitors may at times seek to increase their market share by undercutting pricing terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share for any of our products and services or require us to incur higher member acquisition costs. Furthermore, our competitors could offer relatively attractive benefits to our current members, which could limit members using more than one product.
Industry Trends and General Economic Conditions
Our results of operations have historically been relatively resilient to economic downturns but in the future may be impacted by the relative strength of the overall economy and its effect on unemployment, asset markets and consumer spending. As general economic conditions improve or deteriorate, the amount of consumer disposable income tends to fluctuate, which in turn impacts consumer spending levels and the willingness of consumers to take out loans to finance purchases or invest in financial assets. Specific economic factors, such as interest rate levels, changes in monetary and related policies, unemployment rates, market volatility and consumer confidence also influence consumer spending, saving, investing and borrowing patterns. Increased focus by policymakers and the new presidential administration on outstanding student loans has led to discussions of potential legislative and regulatory actions, among other possible steps, to reduce outstanding balances of loans, or cancel loans at a significant scale, including the potential forgiveness of federal student debt. Such actions resulting in forgiveness or cancellation at a meaningful scale would likely have an adverse impact on our results of operations and overall business.
Additionally, our business has been, and may continue to be, impacted by some of the national measures taken to counteract the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, the CARES Act and subsequent extensions of
80
TABLE OF CONTENTS
certain hardship provisions led to decreased demand for our student loan refinancing products prior to emerging signs of economic recovery from the pandemic. The Federal Reserve’s actions to reduce interest rates to near-zero benchmark levels have led to increased demand for home loan refinancing and we believe have increased the attractiveness of our SoFi Invest product, as members look for alternative ways to earn higher returns on their cash. Conversely, these lower benchmark rates have reduced deposit interest rates we can offer on our SoFi Money product, which we believe has adversely impacted demand for the product. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our products and measures we have taken to help our Company and our members navigate the uncertain economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed further throughout this “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ”.
National Bank Charter
A key element of our long-term strategy is to secure a national bank charter. In March 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Golden Pacific, a registered bank holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiary Golden Pacific Bank, a national banking association. See “Business Overview — National Bank Charter”. If we are successful in securing a national bank charter through the proposed acquisition, we expect to incur additional costs in our operation of the bank primarily associated with headcount, technology infrastructure, governance, compliance and risk management, marketing, and other general and administrative expenses.
The key expected financial benefits to us of obtaining a national bank charter include: (i) lowering our cost to fund loans, as we can utilize SoFi Money deposits to fund loans, which have a lower borrowing cost of funds than our current financing model, (ii) holding loans on our balance sheet for longer periods, thereby enabling us to earn interest on these loans for a longer period and increasing our net interest income margin, and (iii) supporting origination volume growth by providing an alternative financing option, while also maintaining our warehouse capacity. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to secure a national bank charter, either through the proposed acquisition or through the formation of a de novo national bank or, if we do, that we will realize the anticipated benefits. See Part II, Item 1A “ Risk Factors ” .
Key Components of Results of Operations
Interest Income
Interest income is predominantly driven by loan origination volume, prevailing interest rates that we receive on the loans we make and the amount of time we hold loans on our balance sheet. Securitizations interest income is driven by our securitization-related investments in bonds and residual interest positions, which are required under securitization risk retention rules. See Note 1 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our securitization-related investments. Moreover, we earn other interest income on excess corporate cash balances and SoFi Money member balances. Related party interest income was derived from notes extended to Apex and one of our stockholders, and was not core to our operations. We received full repayment of all related party notes as of the balance sheet date.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily includes interest we incur under our warehouse facilities, inclusive of the amortization of debt issuance costs, and under our securitization debt, inclusive of debt issuance costs and discounts. We incur securitization-related interest expense when securitization transfers do not qualify as true sales pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation . Securitization-related interest expense fluctuates depending on the level of our securitization activity, market rates and whether and how much such activity results in true sale treatment. We also incur interest expense related to our revolving credit facility and on the seller note issued in connection with our acquisition of Galileo in May 2020, which was fully repaid in February 2021, as well as on the other financings assumed in the acquisition. For our residual interests classified as debt, we recognize interest expense over the expected life using the effective yield method, which represents a portion of the overall fair value change in the residual interests classified as debt. On a quarterly basis, we reevaluate the cash flow estimates to determine if a change to the accretable yield is required on a prospective basis, which is a reclassification between two income statement line items, and therefore has no net impact on net income (loss). We also pay interest income to our members who have SoFi Money account balances, which is interest expense to us. Interest expense is dependent on market interest rates, such as LIBOR, interest rate spreads versus benchmark rates, the amount of warehouse capacity we can access, warehouse advance rates and the amount of loans we ultimately pledge to our warehouse facilities. Finally, we incur interest on our finance lease liabilities associated with SoFi Stadium, which relate to certain physical signage within the stadium. Our interest expense has historically fluctuated due to changes in the interest rate environment and we expect it will continue to fluctuate in future periods.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income primarily consists of: (i) fair value changes in loans while we hold them on our balance sheet; (ii) gains on sales of loans transferred into the securitization or whole loan sale channels; (iii) the income we receive from our loan
81
TABLE OF CONTENTS
servicing activities; (iv) fair value changes related to our securitization activities; and (v) revenue recognized pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which primarily relates to our Technology Platform fees.
When we originate a loan, we generally expect that we will sell the loan for more than its par value, which will result in positive loan origination and sales results. Moreover, loan origination and sales also includes recognized servicing assets at the time of a loan sale. The subsequent measurement of our servicing assets at fair value impacts noninterest income — servicing in our accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). When we sell a loan into a securitization trust that qualifies for true sale accounting, the gain or loss on sale is recorded within noninterest income — loan origination and sales . Noninterest income — securitizations is impacted by fair value changes in securitization loan collateral, which is impacted by the change in fair value of the loan collateral from the previous period end, residual interests classified as debt and our securitization investments associated with our continuing interest in the securitization subsequent to the sale. Our revenue recognized in accordance with ASC 606 is attributable to our Financial Services and Technology Platform segments and has grown due to our acquisition of Galileo during 2020, primarily in the form of Technology Platform fees, as well as growth generated in our Financial Services segment.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense primarily relates to the following categories of expenses: (i) technology and product development, (ii) sales and marketing, (iii) cost of operations, and (iv) general and administrative. Certain costs are included within each of these line items, such as compensation and benefits-related expense (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense), professional services, depreciation and amortization and occupancy and travel-related costs. We allocate certain costs to each of these four categories based on department-level headcounts. We generally expect the expenses within each such category to increase in absolute dollars as our business continues to grow. Noninterest expense also includes the fair value changes in warrant liabilities, as well as the provision for credit losses, which relates primarily to our credit card product within the Financial Services segment.
Directly Attributable Expenses
As presented within “— Summary Results by Segment ”, in our determination of the contribution profit (loss) for our Lending, Financial Services and Technology Platform segments, we allocate certain expenses that are directly attributable to the corresponding segment. Directly attributable expenses primarily include compensation and benefits and sales and marketing, and vary based on the amount of activity within each segment. Directly attributable expenses also include loan origination and servicing expenses, professional services, occupancy and travel, tools and subscriptions, bank service charge expenses and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses are attributed to the reportable segments using either direct costs of the segment or labor costs that can be attributed based upon the allocation of employee time for individual products.

Total interest income decreased by $2.0 million, or 2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, and decreased by $16.7 million, or 9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the following:
Three Months — Loans. Loans interest income increased by $2.2 million, or 3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily driven by an increase in non-securitization personal loan and student loan interest income of $23.6 million, which was primarily a function of an increase in aggregate average balances of $1.5 billion (76%). These increases were offset by a decline of $22.1 million in interest income from consolidated personal loan and student loan securitizations, which were impacted by a $1.2 billion (52%) decline in aggregate average balances attributable to payment activity and the deconsolidation of a VIE in July 2020. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to credit card loans, which launched in the third quarter of 2020, and home loans.
Six Months — Loans. Loans interest income decreased by $6.7 million, or 4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily driven by a decline of $51.4 million in interest income from consolidated personal loan and student loan securitizations, which were impacted by a $1.3 billion (51%) decline in average balances attributable to payment activity and the deconsolidation of two securitizations in March 2020 and one in July 2020. This decrease was offset by increases in non-securitization personal loan and student loan interest income of $32.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively, which were primarily a function of increases in average balances for personal loans and student loans of $0.6 billion (98%) and $0.7 billion (56%), respectively. The remaining variance was primarily attributable to increases in interest income on credit card loans, which launched in the third quarter of 2020, and home loans.
Three Months — Securitizations. Securitizations interest income decreased by $2.7 million, or 42%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which was attributable to decreases in residual investment interest income of $1.1 million and asset-backed bonds of $1.2 million related to decreases in average securitization investment balances period over period, and a decrease in securitization float interest income of $0.4 million related to decreases in average securitization loan balances and a decline in interest rates period over period.
Six Months — Securitizations. Securitizations interest income decreased by $5.3 million, or 39%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which was attributable to decreases in residual investment interest income of $1.9 million and asset-backed bonds of $2.0 million related to decreases in average securitization investment balances period over period, and a decrease in securitization float interest income of $1.4 million related to decreases in average securitization loan balances and a decline in interest rates period over period.
Three Months — Related Party Notes. Related party notes interest income decreased by $0.9 million, or 100%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 due to a decrease in interest income on a stockholder loan, which was fully settled in the fourth quarter of 2020, and a decrease in interest income related to our loans to Apex, which were fully settled in February 2021. See Note 13 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our related party notes.
Six Months — Related Party Notes. Related party notes interest income decreased by $1.7 million, or 89%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 due to a decrease in interest income on a stockholder loan and a decrease in interest income related to our loans to Apex.
Three Months — Other. Other interest income decreased by $0.6 million, or 47%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to interest rate decreases period over period and a decrease in our average cash balances. The interest rate decreases impacted the interest income we earned on both our bank balances and Member Bank deposits; however, increases in Member Bank deposits period over period partially offset the interest rate impact.

Six Months — Other. Other interest income decreased by $3.0 million, or 70%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to interest rate decreases period over period and a decrease in our average cash balances. The interest rate decreases impacted the interest income we earned on both our bank balances and Member Bank deposits.

Securitizations and warehouses interest expense decreased by $13.4 million, or 34%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, and decreased by $31.1 million, or 36%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, driven by the following:
• Securitization debt interest expense (exclusive of debt issuance and discount amortization) decreased by $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, and decreased by $18.7 million for the six months ended

TABLE OF CONTENTS
June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 driven by declines in average balance of 53% and 52%, respectively, which were attributable to payment activity and the deconsolidation of securitizations discussed within the interest income section. Further, our student loan securitization debt is primarily tied to one-month LIBOR, which decreased period over period;
• Warehouse debt interest expense (exclusive of debt issuance amortization) decreased by $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, and decreased by $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which were primarily related to decreases in one- and three-month LIBOR period over period and lower warehouse facility interest rate spreads, partially offset by a higher average warehouse debt balance outstanding period over period;
• Residual interests classified as debt interest expense decreased by $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, and decreased by $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which was correlated with a lower balance of residual interests classified as debt during the 2021 periods, a significant driver of which was the deconsolidation of two securitizations in March 2020; and
• Debt issuance cost interest expense increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, and decreased by $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020. The variance for the three-month period was primarily driven by the acceleration of debt issuance costs for a facility that closed in June 2021, partially offset by a lower run rate on our issuance cost amortization related to our warehouses facilities, as we extended certain loan warehouse facilities. The variance for the six-month period was primarily driven by the lower run rate on our issuance cost amortization related to our loan warehouse facilities, attributable to loan warehouse facility extensions.
Corporate Borrowings. Corporate borrowings interest expense decreased by $2.0 million, or 60%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, and increased by $1.9 million, or 42%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the following:
• Changes in interest expense incurred on the Galileo seller note, which was issued in May 2020 and was repaid in February 2021. Therefore, interest expense incurred during the three-month 2020 period of $1.6 million did not recur in the 2021 period. Interest expense was $2.1 million higher in the six-month 2021 period relative to 2020, as the note incurred interest at its stated rate of 10.0% in the 2021 period compared to an imputed interest rate of 4.9% in the 2020 period during the interest-free period; and
• Decreases in revolving credit facility interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 relative to the comparable 2020 periods of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which reflected declines in one-month LIBOR period over period, partially offset by higher average balances during the 2021 periods, as we drew $325.0 million on the facility during the second quarter of 2020.
Other. Other interest expense increased by $0.2 million, or 109%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, and decreased by $0.8 million, or 48%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020. The primary contributor to other interest expense is related to our SoFi Money product, for which interest expense increased by $0.1 million and decreased by $1.1 million during the three- and six-month 2021 periods, respectively, relative to the corresponding 2020 periods. The increase in the three-month period was primarily associated with an increase in member cash balances, which was

partially offset by lower interest rates offered to members. The decrease in the six-month period was attributable to lower interest rates offered to members.

Total noninterest income increased by $103.1 million, or 143%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, and increased by $220.6 million, or 213%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to the following:
Three Months — Loan Origination and Sales. Loan origination and sales increased by $46.8 million, or 74%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which was primarily related to an increase of $54.0 million in aggregate personal loan and student loan origination and sales income. Personal loan and student loan origination volumes increased 188% and 9%, respectively, period over period. The personal loan origination volume increase was primarily due to an increase in the percentage of loan application approvals and higher demand for our products as a result of improved economic conditions in the 2021 period relative to the 2020 period in which the COVID-19 pandemic had a more acute impact. In addition, the improved economic outlook had a positive impact on both our student loan and personal loan valuations during the 2021 period relative to 2020. See “ — Key Factors Affecting Operating Results — Industry Trends and General Economic Conditions ”.
These increases were partially offset by a $7.7 million period-over-period decrease in home loan originations and sales related income, net of hedges and related interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”). The decrease was primarily driven by lower gains on IRLCs of $5.7 million, which was correlated with a decline in the mortgage loan pipeline during the 2021 period compared to an increase during the 2020 period. The home loan decline was also reflective of a decline in home loan valuations and sales price execution versus expectation (net of mortgage pipeline valuations) during the 2021 period relative to the 2020 period. Offsetting these impacts was an increase of $1.5 million in home loan origination fees period over period in conjunction with the increase in origination volume.
Six Months — Loan Origination and Sales. Loan origination and sales increased by $52.9 million, or 32%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which was primarily related to an increase of $71.1 million in aggregate personal loan and student loan origination and sales income, which was primarily attributable to improving loan valuations, as the valuations in the 2020 period were significantly impacted by the worsened expected economic conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partially offset by a credit default swap gain of $22.5 million in the 2020 period that did not recur. Student loan origination volume declined 36% period over period, primarily due to lower demand for our student loan refinancing products in the first six months of 2021 relative to 2020 as a result of the payment deferral period on federal student loans enacted through the CARES Act in late March 2020. Personal loan origination volume increased 55% period over period, primarily due to an increase in the loan application approval rate and higher demand for personal loan financing in the second quarter of 2021 amid the improved economic conditions relative to 2020.
We also experienced a $3.1 million period-over-period increase in home loan originations and sales related income, net of hedges and related IRLCs (exclusive of home loan origination fees), which was reflective of a $28.1 million increase in home loan valuation and sales price execution (net of mortgage pipeline valuations), partially offset by a decrease of $25.0 million associated with IRLCs, which was correlated with a decline in the mortgage loan pipeline during the 2021 period compared to a
87
TABLE OF CONTENTS
significant increase during the 2020 period. In addition, home loan origination fees increased by $3.7 million period over period in conjunction with a 74% increase in origination volume.
Three Months — Securitizations. Securitizations income decreased by $7.4 million, or 100%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to $10.4 million of lower fair value increases on securitization loans, which was primarily related to timing, as we experienced meaningful fair value gains in the 2020 period once some of the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic was abated, which had resulted in significant fair value declines during the first quarter of 2020. This fair value fluctuation also impacted our securitization bond fair values, resulting in a negative variance of $9.2 million period over period. In addition, we had residual debt fair value increases of $4.4 million, which were correlated with underlying securitization performance and residual interest positions representing a greater percentage of securitization claims (which occurs over time as securitization loans are paid off and, accordingly, securitization debt gets paid off) period over period, of which $3.1 million was related to non-cash unfavorable fair value changes in residual interests classified as debt valuation assumptions and inputs. Offsetting these declines were: (i) a reduction in securitization loan write-offs of $7.3 million, which was correlated with stronger securitization loan credit performance and lower average securitization loan balances during the 2021 period, (ii) an $8.6 million deconsolidation loss in the 2020 period, and (iii) gains of $0.8 million in securitization residual investment positions period over period.
Six Months — Securitizations. Securitizations income improved by $73.7 million, or 97%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to an aggregate increase of $52.2 million period over period in securitization loan fair market value changes, principally due to the significantly improved economic environment during the 2021 period relative to the 2020 period in relation to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we experienced a reduction in securitization loan write-offs of $22.0 million in the 2021 period, which was correlated with the deconsolidation of securitizations in the 2020 period, stronger securitization loan credit performance and lower average securitization loan balances during the 2021 period. Additionally, we had a positive variance in our securitization residual interest investments of $6.1 million. Finally, we had losses from three deconsolidations during the 2020 period in the aggregate of $13.7 million.
Partially offsetting these effects, we had an unfavorable change in residual debt fair value adjustments of $17.9 million period over period, which was correlated with underlying securitization performance and residual interest positions representing a greater percentage of securitization claims period over period, of which $3.8 million was related to non-cash favorable fair value changes in residual interests classified as debt valuation assumptions and inputs. We also had a decline period over period in bond fair values of $2.4 million, which was primarily influenced by realized interest income cash flows, which lower bond fair values and increase interest income by the amount realized during the period, and therefore have no net impact on net income.

Three Months — Servicing. Servicing income increased by $18.5 million, or 99%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which was primarily related to fair value changes in our servicing assets that were largely attributable to a lower rate of increase in servicing asset prepayment speed assumptions relative to the 2020 period. The rate of change was greater during the 2020 period, because actual prepayment behavior during the second quarter of 2020 exceeded our assumptions during the first quarter of 2020, which was attributable to uncertainty around payment behavior during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and declines in interest rates. In contrast, during the 2021 period, our rate of prepayment speed assumption change was largely unchanged, which was consistent with less changes in interest rates during the 2021 period.
Six Months — Servicing. Servicing income decreased by $0.7 million, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which was primarily related to fair value changes in our servicing assets that were largely attributable to the rate of change in our servicing asset prepayment speed assumptions, which was higher for the six-month 2021 period. This change was largely correlated with an increase during the first quarter of 2021 in the rate of change of student loan and personal loan prepayment speeds, partially offset by a decline in home loan prepayment speeds.
We own the master servicing on all of the servicing rights that we retain and, in each case, recognize the gross servicing rate applicable to each serviced loan. Subservicers are utilized for all serviced student loans and home loans, which represents a cost to SoFi, but these arrangements do not impact our calculation of the weighted average basis points earned for each loan type serviced. Further, there is no impact on servicing income due to forbearance and moratoriums on certain debt collection activities, and there are no waivers of late fees. The table below presents additional information related to our loan servicing activities:

Technology Platform Fees. Technology Platform fees of $45.0 million and $16.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $90.6 million and $16.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were earned by Galileo, which we acquired on May 14, 2020. Therefore, we had partial period earnings from Galileo in the 2020 periods, as well as growth from existing clients and the addition of new clients subsequent to the acquisition. We earn Technology Platform revenues for providing continuous delivery of an integrated technology platform as an outsourced service for financial and non-financial institutions, which is a stand-ready performance obligation that comprises a series of distinct days of service. Our Technology Platform fees are billed based on the actual fulfillment activities to provide the technology platform, which vary from day to day and from client to client.
Our Technology Platform fees are billed on a monthly basis for an integrated, seamless and comprehensive solution suite, which predominantly includes: virtual card product support; real time push provisioning for virtual cards; enablement of transfers from challenger bank accounts to other banks or individuals; enabling card loads and load transfers directly through Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) debits and credits; facilitating person-to-person transfers; maintenance and support for active and inactive accounts on the platform; processing of chargebacks, fraud analysis, credit bureau reporting, facilitating the ability to receive early paychecks; supporting savings as a separate balance in our system; calculating and assessing interest based on account balance tiers; providing access to our native Program, Authorization, and Events APIs, which provide alerts on all transaction types (e.g., notification of card roundups); authorization, routing and processing of payment transactions (debit, credit, online purchases); debit card production and shipment and real-time data analytics and reporting.
Three Months — Other. Other income increased by $16.4 million, or 372%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to earnings from a historical period venture capital investment of $4.0 million in the 2021 period (for which we sold a portion of our investment during 2021) compared to a loss on a different privately-held investment of $0.8 million in the 2020 period. In addition, we had period-over-period increases in brokerage-related revenues of $6.2 million, referral fees of $2.0 million, and payment network fees of $1.1 million. Finally, we had new sources of revenue in the 2021 period consisting of underwriting revenues of $1.8 million and advisory service revenues of $2.6 million (together, referred to as equity capital markets and advisory services). These gains were offset by $2.6 million of equity method investment income during the 2020 period that did not recur, as our Apex equity method investment was called in the first quarter of 2021.
Six Months — Other. Other income increased by $20.3 million, or 276%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to earnings from a historical period venture capital investment of $4.0 million in the 2021 period (for which we sold a portion of our investment during 2021) compared to a loss on a different privately-held investment of $0.8 million in the 2020 period. In addition, we had period-over-period increases in brokerage-related revenues of $10.6 million, payment network fees of $2.4 million, and referral fees of $2.6 million. The brokerage-related fees and payment network fees earned during the 2021 period were positively impacted by our acquisitions of 8 Limited and Galileo in the second quarter of 2020 and the launch of our credit card business in the second half of 2020. Payment network fees (which include interchange fees) were directly correlated with increased credit card spending and debit card transactions on our platform in addition to the impact from the acquisition of Galileo. Lastly, the increase in referral fees was primarily attributable to growth in our partner relationships and related activity, as we continue to onboard new partners and help drive volume to our partners. Finally, we had new sources of revenue in the 2021 period consisting of underwriting revenues of $1.8 million and advisory services of $2.6 million (together, referred to as equity capital markets and advisory services). These gains were offset by the impact of a trading error loss of $1.9 million during the 2021 period related to our SoFi Invest business, as well $3.6 million of

• an increase in non-transaction related professional services of $8.9 million, which included accounting and legal services, and an increase in corporate insurance of $1.6 million, all of which are attributable to the increased costs of being a public company;
• an increase in occupancy-related expenses of $2.3 million; and

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 reflects the expected credit losses associated with our credit card loans, which did not impact the 2020 periods, as we launched our credit card product in the third quarter of 2020.
Net Loss
We had a net loss of $165.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net income of $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and a net loss of $342.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $98.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increases in losses for the three- and six-month periods were due to the factors discussed above, as well as the change in income taxes. The primary driver of the increases in income taxes for both the three- and six-month periods was associated with the remeasurement of our valuation allowance during 2020 primarily as a result of the deferred tax liabilities recognized in connection with our acquisition of Galileo, which decreased the valuation allowance by $99.8 million.

Total Products
Total products refers to the number of home loans, personal loans and student loans that have been originated through our platform since our inception through the reporting date, whether or not such loans have been paid off. See “ — Key Business Metrics ” for further discussion of this measure as it relates to our Lending segment.
Origination Volume
We refer to the aggregate dollar amount of loans originated through our platform in a given period as origination volume. Origination volume is an indicator of the size and health of our Lending segment and an indicator (together with the relevant loan characteristics, such as interest rate and prepayment and default expectations) of revenues and profitability. Changes in origination volume are driven by the addition of new members and existing members, the latter of which at times will either refinance into a new SoFi loan or secure an additional, concurrent loan, as well as macroeconomic factors impacting consumer spending and borrowing behavior. Since the profitability of the Lending segment is largely correlated with origination volume, management relies on origination volume trends to assess the need for external financing to support the Financial Services segment and the expense budgets for unallocated expenses.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, home loan origination volume increased significantly relative to the corresponding 2020 periods due to increased demand for home loan products following the Federal Reserve’s actions to reduce interest rates to near-zero benchmark levels amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an increase in our loan application approval rate.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, personal loan origination volume increased relative to the corresponding 2020 periods primarily due to the improved economic outlook and consumer confidence levels in the second quarter of 2021 relative to the 2020 periods, as there was lower consumer spending behavior during the earlier stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, which we believe decreased the overall demand for debt consolidation loans. We also increased our loan application approval rate during the 2021 periods.
Demand for our student loan products increased during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 relative to the corresponding 2020 periods. While the automatic suspension of principal and interest payments on federally-held student loans enacted through the CARES Act that was extended by executive action most recently through January 2022 led to a decrease in demand for both student loan refinancing and in-school loans in the year-to-date 2021 period relative to the 2020 period, emerging signs of economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2021 led to a lift in student loan demand.

Loans with a Balance and Average Loan Balance
Loans with a balance refers to the number of loans that have a balance greater than zero dollars as of the reporting date. Loans with a balance allows management to better understand the unit economics of acquiring a loan in relation to the lifetime value of that loan. Average loan balance is defined as the total unpaid principal balance of the loans divided by loans with a balance within the respective loan product category as of the reporting date. Average loan balance tends to fluctuate based on the pace of loan originations relative to loan repayments.
