To say that there's a lot to SoFi (SOFI 2. 83%) would be a massive understatement

Just to name a few things, member growth is accelerating and the addition of 800,000 new members to the ecosystem in the first quarter is a single-quarter record for SoFi

In addition, SoFi reported its first full fitable year in 2024, and earnings are expected to grow rapidly

SoFi also has massive potential in areas such as loans and third-party loan origination, both of which are gaining serious traction

However, as a SoFi stock investor myself, I think there's one area that holds tremendous room for imvement, and if the bank gets it right, it could be a major tailwind for the stock

SoFi's cross-selling potential One area in which SoFi could imve is cross-selling ducts to its large membership base

At the end of the first quarter, SoFi had a total of 10. 92 million members with a total of 15. 92 million ducts, or 1. 46 per customer

A "duct" refers to one bank account, brokerage account, loan account, and so on

Mathematically, that means the most common number of banking ducts a SoFi customer has with the bank is one

Part of the explanation here is that SoFi is still building out its ecosystem

SoFi continues to add ducts, and there are some relatively standard banking ducts, such as CDs and auto loans, that SoFi doesn't offer -- at least not yet

However, the point is that it's important to focus not just on member growth

The key factor will be to encourage more members to make SoFi their primary bank

According to a study from Accenture, the average consumer has more than three financial ducts with his or her primary bank, and if SoFi could get to this level, it would be a big win for investors
