Citizens Bank has sued SoFi, alleging the digital lender poached 30 mortgage employees since 2024, affecting operations across nine states. The lawsuit centres on two employee groups, particularly nine Connecticut-based staff who resigned in June within minutes of each other. Citizens claims SoFi "strategically orchestrated" the departures, which represented $400 million in closed loans and $5 million in revenue the previous year. The bank alleges employees transferred confidential client data before leaving. The Connecticut departures eliminated 70% of the branch's mortgage producers and 80% of mortgages, essentially wiping out Citizens' market presence there. Three additional Connecticut employees have since joined SoFi. A SoFi spokesperson called the lawsuit "a baseless allegation and a clever attempt to prevent Citizens employees from pursuing career opportunities elsewhere.
