SoFi Bank maintains a highly active social video presence, with its strategy centered on insight-driven content and supported by a strong mix of brand, event, and product videos. TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube carry the largest share of its video activity, while Instagram also plays a meaningful role. Customer-focused videos appear only sparingly, suggesting the brand prioritizes financial education and broader brand storytelling over testimonial-led content.

SoFi Bank posts video far more frequently than both banks and the wider finance category, with a much heavier emphasis on insight and somewhat more event content. Its mix includes less product, customer, brand and recruitment content than industry peers, making its high-volume strategy notably education-led.
Social video posts over time
Facebook, TikTok and YouTube are SoFi Bank’s most consistently active video channels, while Instagram has increased sharply in the most recent months. The recent rise across nearly every channel points to a scaling video strategy, with LinkedIn used more selectively than its consumer-focused platforms.
Compare with:
SoFi Bank’s video output is led by insight content, supported by brand and event videos, while product and customer content play smaller roles. This positions video primarily as an education and brand-building tool, though there may be room to test more customer stories or product-focused content.

SoFi Bank posts more video than both banks and the finance category on every channel, with especially strong activity on TikTok, Facebook and YouTube. Its broad, high-volume channel mix suggests it is prioritising reach across both established and short-form platforms rather than relying on a single social destination.
SoFi Bank website
Website video analysis
SoFi currently uses video in a few supporting roles rather than as a consistent part of the website experience. The careers page stands out with a prominent culture-focused player, while the mortgage page and an investing resource use video to educate visitors farther down the page.
The homepage, customer stories, and signup experience rely on static imagery or written content instead of video. Expanding video into these areas, as well as more product and resource pages, could help SoFi explain complex topics, build trust, and support visitors throughout their journey.
The homepage, customer stories, and signup experience rely on static imagery or written content instead of video. Expanding video into these areas, as well as more product and resource pages, could help SoFi explain complex topics, build trust, and support visitors throughout their journey.
Strengths
The careers page uses a large, prominent video to bring SoFi’s culture and “The SoFi Way” to life. This is the strongest example of video playing a meaningful role on the site. Elsewhere, video serves a clear educational purpose by supporting mortgage guidance and investing content.
Weaknesses
Video use is limited across the main product and resource pages reviewed. It is also absent from the homepage, customer stories, and signup journey, leaving several important touchpoints dependent on text and static imagery. When video does appear, it generally sits farther down the page rather than shaping the initial experience.
Opportunities
SoFi could use video more consistently across key product pages to simplify financial topics and explain product journeys. Adding video to the homepage could create a stronger first impression, while customer story videos could make real experiences feel more personal. Video in the signup experience could also provide timely reassurance or guidance at a conversion-focused moment.
Key takeaway
Video works best on SoFi’s careers page, where it is prominent and closely tied to the culture story. It also adds value as an educational tool on a small selection of product and resource content. The larger opportunity is to expand that approach into high-visibility and conversion-focused parts of the site.
Video usage on key pages:
View methodology
SoFi uses video most effectively on its careers page, with smaller educational placements on mortgage and investing content, but it is largely absent from the homepage, customer stories, signup flow, and most product pages. The existing videos appear purposeful but sit mainly below the fold, creating a clear opportunity to use video more consistently in high-visibility and conversion-focused experiences.
