Pagaya runs AI that helps banks, fintechs, and auto lenders decide who gets loans, then buys those loans to earn the spread. Think of it as a matchmaker plus a co-investor in consumer credit.
Revenue comes from fees on loan originations plus interest on loans it holds, hitting USD 1.26B in 2025 with a 40.6% gross margin. The business is recurring as long as partners keep feeding it loan volume.
Its AI models improve with more data, and partners like Ally Financial and SoFi rely on it for origination speed, but competitors like Upstart and Zest AI are chasing the same niche. Moat is eroding as AI tools commoditize and partners could build in-house.
