one-stop shop for digital financial services that helps members
borrow, save, spend, invest and protect their money, today
announced a $2 billion loan platform business agreement for

continued strong demand for SoFi’s loan platform business.
Fortress’ collaboration, seamless execution, and appreciation of
the platform's value proposition makes them an exceptional
partner.”

of the company’s loan platform business,” added Dominick Ruggiero,
Co-Head of Specialty Finance at Fortress. “SoFi’s platform – and
its focus on innovation and providing valuable credit solutions to
its members – create a compelling investment opportunity for
Fortress’s funds. We are excited about building a mutually
beneficial partnership with SoFi.”
