Football fans and L.A. residents are about to get to know the name SoFi if they don’t already.

The fintech startup has bought the naming rights to the future home of the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers, which it will dub SoFi Stadium, the company said Sunday. It declined to share the financial terms of the 20-year agreement, but earlier reports cited a $400 million figure.

If true, that would make this one of the largest ever big-league naming rights deals alongside Citi Field ($400 million over 22 years), MetLife Stadium ($425 million to $625 million over 26 years), Scotiabank Arena ($639 million over 21 years) and Chase Center ($300 million to $400 million over 24 years), according to Sports Business Journal. As part of the agreement, SoFi will be the official partner of the Rams and the Chargers as well as a partner of the performance venue and surrounding entertainment district.

While $20 million a year may be a drop in the bucket for a multi-trillion dollar national bank, SoFi is far less established than the corporations that typically pay for such naming rights deals. The San Francisco-based company raised $500 million earlier this year in a round led by the Qatari sovereign wealth fund and has not yet reached profitability. It currently has 800,000 users.

But the ROI is a no-brainer: it’s going to help the fintech unicorn, currently valued at more than $4.8 billion, grow its brand awareness and recognition; acquire more members; and sell more products and services. The stadium is scheduled to open next year and will host Super Bowl LVI in 2022 and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2028 Olympics. Popularity in consumer fintech has risen significantly in the last five years, but users tend to be concentrated in the Bay Area and New York City metro area. This deal could help make SoFi a household name on a national level.

The fintech startup MoneyLion similarly has a multi-year, multi-unit partnership with the International Speedway Corporation which includes a sponsorship at the at Talladega Superspeedway and several other tracks. Terms of that agreement have not been disclosed. MoneyLion, like SoFi, offers a financial membership that includes saving, spending, investing and lending services.

SoFi Stadium will include a 27,000 square foot, VIP “activation space” for special events, that will include a lounge exclusively for SoFi members – one of the many things it plans to include as part of its social offerings. Anthony Noto, the CEO at SoFi who was also previously CFO of the National Football League, told Cheddar in April that in addition to building out its suite of financial products this year – it launched four SoFi-branded ETFs earlier and plans to open cryptocurrency trading this month – SoFi (short for Social Finance) is also focused on expanding the social aspect of its membership. In addition to traditional financial services like saving, lending and investing products, SoFi offers things like free career advice, certified financial planning, and member events.

Bank sponsorships of professional sports stadiums may not be anything new, but by including exclusive members’ areas and opportunities, SoFi is borrowing a page from Chase’s Sapphire brand strategy. Users have access to “special experiences” like sports and entertainment hospitality lounges, plus early ticket sales and special seating options for sports and entertainment events. Perks like these didn’t just help to make the Sapphire Reserve and Preferred credit cards successful – it helped the bank shape its image as a lifestyle brand (so much so that it tried to replicate Sapphire’s success in its banking business).

Chase borrows from SoFi too. In June it began pushing IRL events by hosting after-hours community gatherings and discussions that it dubbed "Chase Chats” which focus on financial-health topics that can range from retirement planning to entrepreneurship.

SoFi launched in 2011 as a student loan provider but has aggressively built its suite of products in the last year to include a hybrid save-and-spend account, as well as a growing number of investment options and life insurance through a partnership with Ladder.

Al Sharpton to lead pro-DEI march through Wall Street
The Rev. Al Sharpton is set to lead a protest march on Wall Street to urge corporate America to resist the Trump administration’s campaign to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The New York civil rights leader will join clergy, labor and community leaders Thursday in a demonstration through Manhattan’s Financial District that’s timed with the anniversary of the Civil Rights-era March on Washington in 1963. Sharpton called DEI the “civil rights fight of our generation." He and other Black leaders have called for boycotting American retailers that scaled backed policies and programs aimed at bolstering diversity and reducing discrimination in their ranks.
A US tariff exemption for small orders ends Friday. It’s a big deal.
Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A widely used customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less is set to end starting on Friday. Trump already ended the “de minimis” rule for inexpensive items sent from China and Hong Kong, but having to pay import taxes on small parcels from everywhere else likely will be a big change for some small businesses and online shoppers. Purchases that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will be subject to the origin country’s tariff rate, which can range from 10% to 50%.
Southwest Airlines’ new policy will affect plus-size travelers. Here’s how
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
