The bank has made larger loans to wealthy individuals that other banks have turned down, albeit at higher interest rates.[3]

[edit]

The company was founded by Jerry Englert and Gary Evans Lewis with $14 million of startup capital.[4] It was incorporated in Delaware in 1999 as BofI Holding, Inc and began operations as Bank of Internet on July 4, 2000.[1] The start date of July 4 was purposely chosen because it showed that the bank would be open on a day that other banks were closed due to Independence Day.[5]

On March 15, 2005, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.[1] It offered 3,052,745 shares of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.[6]

In March 2019, Axos Financial acquired the robo-advisory platform WiseBanyan.[1] The unit has since been renamed Axos Invest and as of early 2020 is keeping the "free" business model originally designed by the start-up's founders. According to the investor presentation, Axos plans to use WiseBanyan to mine more personal data about its client base.[16] <-- This appears to rely on an Axos press release to add emphasis and infer criticisms not present in the cited source; plus Axos' "plans" are WP:CRYSTAL.

In March 2019, Axos Financial acquired approximately $173 million in deposits from MWABank.[1][15] Replacing primary source with an independent one

In April 2019, it was reported that the Axos CEO, Greg Garrabrants, earned $34.5 million, making him the highest paid bank CEO of 2018.[17][18]

However, it was closed in July 2021 as a part of rebranding.[23][24][25] <-- All cited to press releases, plus it was the acquisition that closed, not the product, which is still offered (albeit under a different name).
