Reply to comment by dudenice420 in Why SoFi is Poised to Take Over the Fintech Industry: An In-Depth Analysis by [deleted]

literal carvana of fintech loan servicers. Worst part is OP has some good points but bad direction in terms of macro analysis. Google college & personal loan enrollment over the pandemic. Just because they are buying the name rights of stadiums doesn't make them a potential four bagger. Look at FTX and Florida. Best of luck op.

I refinanced my student loans with them years ago (about 70k of them at least). Back then SOFI was cool. They were throwing parties for borrowers and giving away swag. Spoiler: the service was so shitty and easily beat that I refinanced again with another loan servicer that I am much happier with. They took my 8-9% 25 year loans for about 70k and I went with a 6.25% variable for 15 year package. My interest rate was raised every month until about 10 months in, I was over 7.5% again. At that point I refinanced again. IMO SOFI peaked in 2017 and got lucky during the pandemic.

Edit: sell your calls homie. Any student loan borrower who actually got an education will be able to find better fintech.
