Key Milestones


  • Pagaya’s network record volume has grown by 33% year-over-year, driven primarily by the ramp-up of new partnerships in our auto and real estate verticals.

  • Pagaya’s total revenue has grown by 13% year-over-year, driven primarily by an 18% growth in revenue from fees, as the fintech continues to monetize its lending product.

The average activation rate for banks when using Pagaya’s product (the rate at which customers accept a loan offer generated by Pagaya’s technology) is double the average for the fintech’s personal loan product, demonstrating the brand loyalty of a large bank’s customer base.
