SoFi, which is short for Social Finance, bills itself as “a new kind of finance company.”
Founded in 2011, they’ve since rocketed to become the largest student loan refinance lender in the world. They’ve refinanced over $30 billion in student loan debt since their inception and show no signs of stopping.
Aside from student loan refinancing, the company has also expanded into private student loans, mortgages, personal loans, investing, and banking.
