Dollar Financial Corp Comments on New Legislation in Ohio

Business Wire, May 15, 2008

BERWYN, Pa. -- Dollar Financial Corp (NASDAQ:DLLR), a leading international financial services company serving under-banked consumers, commented today on the vote by Ohio legislators on May 14, 2008 to effectively ban payday lending in Ohio. The bill, HB 545, passed the House two weeks ago and places a 28% annual percentage rate cap on payday loans, reducing the allowable fees from $15 to $1.08 per $100 borrowed for a two-week period.

Jeff Weiss, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Though we are generally supportive of sensible regulation which helps to create a fair marketplace, this decision by the Ohio Senate is an exception as the new law significantly hurts our Ohio-based customers by eliminating access to a short-term credit product This legislation denies consumers a cost effective choice for their short term credit needs and will force them into costlier bank fees and unregulated lending."

Mr. Weiss continued, "From a business standpoint, this legislation will have minimal impact to our operations. Our total net fees from consumer lending revenue in our 21 multi-product stores in Ohio were approximately $584,000 for the third quarter of Fiscal 2008 which ended March 31, 2008, or less than 1% of our total consumer lending revenue. That said, we will continue to evaluate our strategy in Ohio on an ongoing basis, and continue to work with our customers, legislators, and other industry members to ensure that our customers have access to short-term credit solutions. Our product offerings are highly diverse and we will continue to provide a variety of alternative products such as check cashing, bill pay, Western Union services, and pre-paid debit cards."
