CNBC host Jim Cramer said he believes that shares of two fintech companies — PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) and Reddit-favorite SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) — are worth buying now.

The six nouveau banks named by Cramer are PayPal, SoFi Technologies, Jack Dorsey-led Square Inc. (NYSE:SQ), Upstart Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:UPST), Affirm Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:AFRM) and Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD).

Cramer believes PayPal and SoFi Technologies are worth buying now as the two stocks are down from their highs recorded earlier this year.

PayPal offers a buy now, pay later platform as well as cryptocurrency trading, while SoFi Technologies could receive a banking charter, the CNBC host noted.
