SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) saw its stock surge 6.19% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, following the announcement of a new product launch by its subsidiary, Galileo Financial Technologies. The company unveiled the Galileo Deposit Sweep product, which aims to maximize interest earnings and extend FDIC insurance coverage for fintech customers.

The new offering enables fintechs to partner with a network of participating banks and a deposit sweep provider, allowing them to offer higher returns and enhanced insurance to their customers. This innovative solution automates the process of transferring excess funds into high-yield accounts, potentially increasing operational efficiency and customer value for Galileo's fintech clients.

Investors appear to be responding positively to this development, as it could lead to increased revenue streams for SoFi Technologies. The Galileo Deposit Sweep product may attract more fintech clients to SoFi's technology platform, expanding its market share in the competitive financial technology sector. Additionally, the enhanced offerings could help SoFi's partners, such as Bluevine, to provide better services to their customers, potentially driving growth across SoFi's ecosystem.
