“My experience with SoFi has been wonderful. They had competitive rates, excellent customer service and an easy process using the latest technologies - I was able to e-sign most of my mortgage documents right from my phone. The SoFi mortgage consultant was fantastic. She went above and beyond in terms of customer service and responsiveness - we really felt like she was there to help.”

“Not only was the SoFi personal loan interest rate really attractive, but the process was so easy and the turnaround was extremely fast, enabling me to meet a tight payment deadline. This loan is allowing me to take advantage of an amazing opportunity without spending a fortune on interest in the process.”

“I know I’m making progress and [SoFi has] given me the freedom to invest that money in other assets. My debt is there, but it isn’t holding me back.
I tell everyone about SoFi - it’s the easiest thing. Before, I had three different loans and it was frustrating. Now I pay one, and I’m saving 2% in interest every month - that is a huge savings for me every month.”
Chris Martinez

“Making it happen was simple. I’ve been a customer for almost two years and it’s been great. Refinancing with SoFi helped me pay my bills and manage my money, which has enabled me manage my finances through the launch of my start-up.”
Jen Kessler

“Chiara and I teamed up while at Stanford to build an end-to-end marketing solution for small businesses. I started going with her to SoFi's community and entrepreneur events. I was so impressed that I moved my loans to SoFi in and became part of the Entrepreneur's Program.”

“I was skeptical about what my lender could do for me in terms of career assistance, but from my first conversation with Bob he exceeded my expectations. He actually became my go-to guy throughout the job search process – I never would’ve expected that caliber of service from my lender. What set Bob apart from other career strategy resources was that he really took the time to understand what I want (and don’t want) out of my career. It wasn’t ‘This is your skillset, so this is what you should do.' It was ‘This is your skillset, so what do you want to do?’ That was extremely valuable to me.”

“We’d had a loan approved with another bank, but when they started making all sorts of requests out of left field, we decided it was time to look elsewhere. We found out about SoFi on a Tuesday, were approved within a week and were funded less than two weeks later. I couldn’t believe how much easier it was compared to what we’d experienced elsewhere.”

“I'm always interested in disruptive businesses, which is what drew me to SoFi. The space is huge and very attractive. The Marketplace Investments team at SoFi personalizes everything. It has been a great relationship.”

“Not only does SoFi provide low interest rates, but they have a seamless process, a tech savvy website and amazing customer service. They actually make me feel good about borrowing money from them.”

“Customer service doesn't exist with federal loans. SoFi customer service was fantastic. I got replies immediately either by email or phone. My SoFi experience was very straight-forward, transparent, and positive.”
Jennifer Beall
Northwestern
“I'll admit it. I'm obsessed with SoFi. I discovered SoFi and began the process of refinancing my loans, which led to over $5000 in savings on interest. SoFi has shown time and time again that they are truly invested in my personal and professional success!”
Jeff Patmont

“SoFi really caters to first-time homebuyers with personalized customer service, competitive rates and a very simple process. I felt like they really appreciated me as a customer. My experience with my mortgage officer (Jennifer) was wonderful. As a first time homebuyer, there were a lot of things I hadn't encountered before – Jennifer broke it all down in a way that made it clear and made me comfortable with the whole process.”
Brandon Wolfe

“I had just a phenomenal servicing experience. Everyone will be lured in by the low rates, but it turns out that as a customer, my experience was amazing.”
Dr. Sekuleo Gathers

“After reading about SoFi in the New York Times, I completed the online application and was pleasantly surprised when their mortgage consultant called me the next day to discuss next steps. The rest of the process was just as easy and fast. As advertised, it took 21 days from pre-approval to closing. When there was a discrepancy on the application, my SoFi mortgage consultant put me on speaker phone right from the underwriter's office so I could clarify it immediately. This level of service made me feel as though I was her only client.”
Maury Denton
University of Virginia
“Initially I thought that SoFi Career Services would just be another good way to build my network - I wasn’t expecting to benefit from a one-on-one partnership with someone who has a ton of career strategy expertise plus inside knowledge of the companies I was targeting. SoFi Career Services really had their finger on the pulse of how to navigate specific companies, negotiate effectively, etc. He provided a fresh perspective that complemented what I was getting from my other career resources and mentors, which I found really helpful.”
Darwin Ling

“SoFi is not just about student loans. It is about the impact an investor can make towards a student. This is an impact that goes far beyond just the loan. And this is exactly why I become an investor for SoFi. Not only could I help out the students from my alma mater, I also had the opportunity to help those entrepreneurs directly via SoFi’s entrepreneur program. I look forward to SoFi’s continual innovation in social lending, and I am very proud that I could be part of this.”
Chiara McPhee
Stanford
“I was looking for the lowest rates I could find without a cosigner. SoFi was by far the best, and I became one of their first 100 borrowers!”
Ken Bloom
UCLA
“SoFi's openness and inclusiveness with their investors has really impressed me. SoFi treats us investors as part of the family. Initially, I invested in SoFi because of the returns - an opportunity to earn above market returns coupled with the ability to help fellow UCLA graduates. Investing in SoFi gives me strong returns while helping young professionals get a first step up - a lift off - to beginning their financial independence.”
Eleanor Krasne
University of Chicago
“When I first looked into SoFi, I wondered if it is too good to be true...but I applied and am now saving 4 full percentage points on my grad school loans.
I loved the opportunity to talk to Bob Park in career services - having a third party entity to go to for advice was incredibly valuable.”
Noah Greenbaum
University of Virginia
“I fell in love with the SoFi mission and story. SoFi has come up with an incredible solution. We are looking for investments with great risk/reward characteristics. SoFi not only provides that, but in addition, the social component of the company gives deserving individuals access to cheaper capital.”

“SoFi is empowering students through innovative financing options. This product is a win-win, and I'm proud to be a SoFi investor member.”
Barry Malinowski Jr.

“With SoFi, I was able to significantly lower my rate, saving me thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. Plus, now I belong to a support group of borrowers and lenders, turning debt that was once only a liability into an assets of sorts. I’m grateful that a friend told me about SoFi.”
Joseph Cortese
University of Chicago
“I would absolutely recommend SoFi to friends and coworkers with student debt. I look for opportunities to share SoFi with friends and family because I really believe in what they are doing. As a customer of 2 years, I know they are high quality. I’m a huge supporter.”
Christine Luby

“The SoFi entrepreneur program has allowed me to apply all that I have learned at Stanford to my next startup.”

“My borrowed funds come from real people, and there is no way I’m going to let my alumni down.”
Ali Khan

“It’s almost mind-boggling how much money I’ll save through refinancing my student loans with SoFi – I’d literally be paying tens of thousands more with my original loans. Now that I’ve refinanced my student loans with SoFi, I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m able to put away a little bit more, think about long term goals, save for a house - and I know this burden isn’t going to be over my head for the rest of my life.”
Aviesha Stephens
New York
“I was looking for a way to consolidate all of my debt into one loan with a low interest rate - and I was able to achieve that with SoFi. My SoFi personal loan will save me thousands of dollars in interest. The application process was fast and effortless. I was able to refinance multiple student loans, and consolidate other debt into a personal loan almost simultaneously, and the result is that I'll save thousands and have fewer bills to manage each month.”
Jitin Khurana

“Quick pre-qualification letter without a hard credit pull helped me decide the product I wanted to pursue. Not requiring unwanted documentation was a big big plus. I didn't have to dig and find my W2s from past three years. Michael (loan officer) was the best. He spoke with me pretty much every day, and assured me on the progress. Offer letters came so fast, and anytime I had to change anything, it was super easy. I was assured that loan will close in 21 days, and it did. Automated valuation on the property made it convenience not to worry about appraisal issues. The rates were competitive enough, and it gave me the flexibility to put less than 20% down with no PMI - this is a luxury in today's market, esp. the bay area where competition is fierce.”
