SoFi Refreshes Home Loan Products

Mar 27, 2019
SoFi has hired Aaron J. Webster as its new chief risk officer, where he will be responsible for the company’s risk, fraud and credit management frameworks

San Francisco-based fintech SoFi has rebooted its SoFi Home Loans for borrowers seeking purchase loans or refinancing.
 
According to the company, SoFi Home Loans is an online process that offers competitive rates and affordable down payments, with as little as 10 percent down on loans up to $3 million. SoFi allows purchase loan applicants to choose between four different loan terms and fixed or adjustable rates, while those seeking refinancing can choose between traditional mortgage refinancing, cash-out refinancing, and student loan cash-out refinancing. SoFi added that any loan request it cannot handle will be eligible for a digital transfer to an affiliate partner who may be able to help.
 
"For most people, buying a home is the most important financial decision and, at the same time, the most complicated and stressful one they'll ever make," said SoFi Chief Executive Officer Anthony Noto. "We've taken everything we've learned in making lending convenient and painless, and brought it to SoFi Home Loans."
