Notes
Full portfolio moat / asset analysis
SoFi's most critical competitive advantage is its national bank charter (obtained 2022). As fintech "sponsor bank" models face increasing FDIC/OCC scrutiny, SoFi's charter has become a genuine regulatory moat. The charter enables funding loans with low-cost deposits rather than expensive warehouse lines, generating a net interest margin of 5.72%.
