Honest Take

Which one fits your situation?

SoFi is a standalone online lender; RMO bundles lending into a membership. Here’s how each tends to win.

Where RMO wins

Better when you want lending bundled with the rest of your finances

  • Member rates. RMO personal loans are offered at member rates as part of your RMO membership.

  • App-first experience. SoFi is built around an app-based model with no traditional branch network.
  • Other money products. SoFi offers a range of money products alongside its personal loans.
