VANCOUVER, Sept. 25, 2018 – Mogo Finance Technology Inc. (TSX:MOGO) (NASDAQ:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”) today announced that it surpassed 700,000 Mogo members on its path to becoming the go-to financial platform for millennials in Canada, fueled by growing brand awareness and an expanded suite of digital financial products.

“At Mogo we have built what we believe is Canada’s leading digital financial platform for millennials, and our continued member growth underscores that our value proposition is increasingly resonating with Canadians,” said David Feller, Mogo’s Founder and CEO. “Consumers, driven by millennials, are looking for digital solutions that are not only engaging, but also make it easier for them to get in control of their financial health. Unlike many single-product apps and solutions, the Mogo platform was built to offer our members convenient access to multiple financial products within one app.”

Greg Feller, President and CFO, added: “As we deliver on this mission to help members get in control of their financial health, we are not only seeing growth in members as a result of the power of our platform, but an increase in the adoption of our products, which is translating into strong business results. In our most recent quarter, we delivered accelerating core revenue growth of over 60% and an increase in subscription and services revenue of over 100%.”

Mogo currently offers the following six products that tie together in one digital, mobile-first account to help consumers get financially healthy:

• Canada’s first free credit monitoring solution – knowing your credit score is the first step to being financially fit and can help you on a path to accessing the best credit rates.
