About Axos Financial, Inc.
About Axos Financial, Inc.
Axos Financial reported approximately $30.0 billion in assets and $47.8 billion of assets under custody or administration at Axos Clearing LLC, per its fiscal 2026 10-K. The company runs two segments: Banking, through Axos Bank, a federal savings association supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and insured by the FDIC, and Securities, which served about 300 financial organizations at June 30, 2026. It employed 2,191 full-time workers and sources deposits nationwide through digital channels rather than a branch network.
Axos Bank earns net interest income on single family mortgages and warehouse lines, multifamily and commercial mortgages, commercial real estate loans, commercial & industrial loans such as lender finance, asset-based and capital call facilities, plus auto and consumer loans. Commercial real estate and commercial & industrial loans are typically variable rate based on SOFR, with prepayment protection, floors and caps. Non-interest income comes from loan sale fees, operating lease income, deposit service fees and payment processing fees. Deposits come from commercial verticals such as title, escrow, HOA and 1031 exchange, from software businesses including Axos Fiduciary Services and Zenith Information Systems, and from consumer and sweep deposits tied to Axos Clearing and Axos Advisor Services. The Securities segment earns fee and interest income from clearing, stock lending, margin lending, custody for registered investment advisors and the Axos Invest retail platform. Competitors range from savings banks, commercial banks and mortgage bankers to private equity firms and hedge funds, and large national broker-dealers in clearing.

Geographic concentration of collateral is the clearest exposure in the filing. The 10-K states that Axos has a high concentration of loans secured by real estate in California and New York, which leaves the company particularly susceptible to a downturn in those economies, and that a sustained slowdown could raise non-performing loans and leases. Multifamily and commercial real estate underwriting relies primarily on property cash flow, and the company often obtains personal guarantees. Regulatory capital rules also remain in flux: the Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC issued three joint notices of proposed rulemaking in March 2026 on how regulatory capital is calculated.
