What is different now that SoFi acquired Galileo Financial Technologies (referred to internally as Galileo”)?

In April of 2020, SoFi acquired Galileo, a powerful financial services API and payments platform. With the addition of Galileo, SoFi strengthens its capabilities, rounding out its best-in-class technology ecosystem, and Galileo and SoFi will work together to accelerate the pace of technology innovation to offer Galileo’s partners, and subsequently consumers everywhere, even more value.

While internally the two companies use the same benefits and tools, Galileo is B2B and powers world-leading fintechs, financial services and investment firms by removing the complexity of payments to make it fast and easy for businesses of every type and size to innovate and deliver amazing user experiences to their customers.
