California-based community lender Golden Pacific Bank has around $150m in assets and it is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
The deal will enable SoFi to provide improved features to its members. This will include better banking services in the upcoming weeks through automated savings, differentiated checking, and savings accounts for easy budgeting.
The acquisition was a key step for SoFi to obtain a national bank charter. Last month, the company secured regulatory clearance to become a bank.
SoFi CEO Anthony Noto said: “This announcement reflects SoFi’s ongoing mission to help people achieve financial independence and realise their ambitions.
