SoFi, a digital personal finance company, announced the opening of its first Florida office in Jacksonville’s St. Johns Town Center to include the hiring of up to 300 full-time staff.

Positions will mainly focus on member relations, loan review, quality assurance and fraud prevention.

Headquartered in San Francisco, SoFi has 10 other permanent office locations.

“As SoFi grows, we knew we needed to expand our real estate footprint to maintain our top-tier level of support for all of our members across the country,” said CEO Anthony Noto. “Jacksonville, from the start of our exploration, has been a clear front runner for talent, accessibility and offering an affordable cost of living.

SoFi released a number of new products in 2019, joining its suite of lending products, including automated and active investing in stocks and funds, plus crypto trading, unlimited ATM reimbursements and home and student loans.

SoFi also is the naming rights partner of SoFi Stadium, future home of the Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams, opening in July.
