SoFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:SOFI) shares are moving higher. The company on Thursday announced a personal loan securitization agreement with a global fixed income manager.

What Happened: SoFi on Thursday announced that it closed on a $525 million personal loan securitization agreement in the fourth quarter with funds and accounts managed by PGIM Fixed Income.

The transaction comes after PGIM invested $350 million in May 2024, and builds on the $3.9 billion in personal loan collateral SoFi has sold or securitized to date.

“The investor demand we see for SoFi’s personal loans underscores the quality and strength of our lending business, which continues to contribute meaningfully to our durable growth. We are grateful for PGIM’s longstanding partnership as we help more of our members get their money right,” said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi.
