Lantern is a financial product comparison tool and online marketplace operated by SoFi Technologies, Inc. Originally an independent company named Lantern Credit, it was acquired by SoFi in 2019. The platform's mission is to simplify the process for consumers to shop for and compare financial products by providing personalized offers from multiple lending partners after a single, soft credit check. It acts as a lead generation service, connecting qualified borrowers with lenders for various types of loans and credit cards, without directly providing the financing itself.
