SoFi and Capitalize Expand Long-Standing Partnership To Simplify 401(k) Transfers

Business Wire07-05-2025
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capitalize, the industry's award-winning platform for retirement account transfers, and SoFi, a member-centric one stop shop for digital financial services, today announced a major expansion of their long-standing collaboration to help members easily find and consolidate their 401(k) accounts. SoFi's recent implementation of Capitalize's Embedded Rollover API now allows its members to seamlessly find legacy 401(k) accounts and transfer them quickly into their SoFi Individual Retirement Account (IRA) – all without leaving the SoFi app.
'We're thrilled to deepen our integration with SoFi through our modern Rollover API, and together help SoFi members better save for retirement by finding and consolidating their 401(k) savings seamlessly.'
This new integration has significantly improved the rollover experience for SoFi members, resulting in a substantially faster and lower-friction process to consolidate retirement assets at SoFi. Capitalize research has previously shown that the vast majority of savers are unable to successfully complete a rollover on their own. By embedding the Capitalize Rollover API, SoFi now offers its members a digital, modern rollover experience so that they can complete this important financial step.
'At SoFi, we're committed to helping our members make the most of their retirement savings – and that includes making it easier to transfer, consolidate and manage those savings,' said Ryan Burke, VP, Head of SoFi Invest. 'Our deepened integration with Capitalize allows us to offer a more seamless, transparent rollover experience that meets the expectations of today's digital-first consumers while supporting our broader mission to help members build long-term wealth.'
'Savers today deserve better than the legacy 401(k) rollover process,' said Gaurav Sharma, CEO and Co-Founder of Capitalize. 'We're thrilled to deepen our integration with SoFi through our modern Rollover API, and together help SoFi members better save for retirement by finding and consolidating their 401(k) savings seamlessly.'
With an estimated $1.65 trillion in assets left behind in 401(k) accounts and almost $1 trillion rolled over annually, the opportunity for leading financial institutions to help users with 401(k) consolidation continues to grow. SoFi joins a growing list of financial institutions leveraging the Capitalize Embedded Rollover API to better serve their users and grow retirement assets. Capitalize's rollover technology has powered billions of dollars in retirement account transfers, and its platform is growing rapidly as additional retirement account providers adopt its industry-leading APIs.
This offering is currently available to all SoFi members.

As SoFi Launches International Money Transfer Services, How Should You Play SOFI Stock?

SoFi Technologies (SOFI) remains in focus this morning after announcing plans of introducing an international money transfer service by the end of this year. The financial technology company will use the Bitcoin Lightning Network to enable customers to make cross-border transactions online via its app at a much lower fees than conventional bank transfers. More News from Barchart Trade the Warren Buffett Rally in UnitedHealth Stock With This High-Reward, Low-Risk Options Strategy Apple Expects $1.1 Billion Tariff Hit in 4th Quarter After $800 Million Q3 Hit; CEO Tim Cook Warns 'Many Factors That Could Change' Cathie Wood Is Buying BLSH Stock After the Bullish IPO. Should You? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. SoFi stock has pushed explosively to the upside over the past four months. At the time of writing, it's up roughly 170% versus its low set in the first week of April. Significance of the Expected Launch for SoFi Stock The planned launch of international money transfer services is constructive for SOFI shares since it makes the Nasdaq-listed firm the first U.S. bank to offer blockchain-enabled remittances. Undercutting traditional banks and remittance providers positions SoFi Technologies as the fintech leader in digital payments. Additionally, the expected offering sidesteps new remittance taxes under Section 4475, effectively giving the Santa Clara-headquartered company a regulatory edge over its traditional rivals as well. In short, as demand for low-cost real-time cross-border transfers grows, this innovation could drive user growth, boost engagement, and strengthen SoFi stock's competitive moat in financial services. William Blair Expects SOFI Shares to Rip Higher From Here William Blair's senior analyst Andrew Jeffrey continues to recommend sticking with SoFi shares even though they have already experienced a meteoric rally in 2025. The financial services firm is disrupting digital banking to an extent and at a speed that isn't fully reflected in its valuation, he told clients in a research note last week. Jeffrey remains positive on SOFI stock also because he expects the fintech to 'rapidly' steal share from traditional banks as it expands the multitude of its offerings over time. His 2026 estimates translate roughly to a $30 share price, indicating potential upside of another 30% from here. Wall Street Recommends Caution on SoFi Technologies Investors should note, however, that not everyone on Wall Street is as constructive on SoFi shares as William Blair. According to Barchart, the consensus rating on SOFI stock sits at 'Hold' only with the mean target of roughly $19 indicating potential downside of some 18% from current levels.

Javelin Launches MCP Security to Bring Defense‑in‑Depth to the Model Context Protocol Layer

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Javelin, a Bay Area–based AI security company, today announced MCP Security, a defense-in-depth solution for the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—the connective tissue between AI assistants, tools, and enterprise data. The release combines Javelin Ramparts, an MCP scanner, with Javelin MCP Runtime Guardrails for real-time policy enforcement at the tool and data boundary. MCP Security brings shift‑left scanning and runtime policy to the exact moment agents connect to tools and data, closing the most vulnerable paths - without slowing teams down. Javelin delivers end-to-end Agentic protection enterprises can trust. Share As enterprises accelerate agentic AI, adversaries are shifting to agent hijacking and indirect prompt injection—malicious instructions hidden in business content or third-party data that drive unintended actions. Recent demonstrations show poisoned content can trigger real-world outcomes, underscoring the need for runtime guardrails. 'Waiting for an incident to prove the need for agent security is not a strategy; it's a cost center that erodes trust and brand equity,' said Sharath Rajasekar, CEO and Co-founder of Javelin. 'MCP Security brings shift-left scanning and runtime policy to the exact moment agents connect to tools and data—closing the most vulnerable paths: supply chain, prompt injection, and unsafe tool calls—without slowing teams down.' Why Now Rapid adoption: MCP is emerging as the standard interface connecting assistants to apps and data, with one-click installs fueling growth. Evolving threats: Agent hijacking and semantic prompt injections bypass naïve guardrails as agents act on the world. IBM reports 97% of AI-related security incidents lacked proper access controls, and 63% lacked formal governance. Material business impact: Mature AI controls reduce breach costs and speed recovery while preserving innovation velocity. What's in the Launch Javelin Ramparts: Pre-deployment MCP risk assessment that scans servers and tool manifests for supply-chain and poisoning risks. Produces prioritized, audit-ready findings (mapped to OWASP/MITRE) and integrates with runtime guardrails. MCP Runtime Guardrails: Real-time policy enforcement at the MCP boundary. Allow, block, or require review as agents access tools or data—protecting live data flows without slowing teams. Provides standardized, audit-ready evidence across the AI landscape. Enterprise Value Together, Javelin Ramparts and Runtime MCP Guardrails deliver a defense‑in‑depth layer for agentic systems and AI‑enabled applications—connecting assessment, policy, enforcement, and monitoring end‑to‑end. Reduce risk & cost: Block high-impact abuse paths and strengthen AI governance. Accelerate rollout: Ramparts catches risks pre-deployment; guardrails contain live threats while preserving uptime. Prove compliance: Generate audit-ready evidence mapped to standard frameworks for boards, regulators, and customers.
