BERWYN, Pennsylvania, October 30, 2007 — Dollar Financial Corp (NASDAQ:DLLR - News), a leading international financial services company serving under-banked consumers, today announced results for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Fiscal first quarter highlights (compared to the prior year period):

Commenting on the financial results for the quarter, Jeff Weiss, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased to achieve another quarter of record results. Total revenue growth of 26.5% and pro forma net income growth of 46.7% underscore the continued success of our multi-country, multi-product, multi-channel strategy. In addition, it also demonstrates our ability to leverage the Company's infrastructure and cost structure to achieve excellent flow through of incremental revenue to earnings".

Mr. Weiss continued, "Our success continues to be driven by the consistent execution of our growth strategy. During the quarter we opened twenty de novo stores and completed the acquisition of thirty-four additional stores across the U.S., Canada and U.K as we continue to pursue the most strategic investment opportunities across all three of our geographic markets. The Companys momentum continues to accelerate with the recent agreement to acquire eighty-two financial services stores in southeast Florida. This acquisition, which is expected to close in the next 30 to 45 days, will give us a significant presence in a market with a stable regulatory climate and very strong demographic trends that is dominated by multi-product stores. In addition, our existing NOL tax loss carry-forwards will help to enhance the returns from this transaction. Overall, I am pleased with the progress we have made during the quarter and our strong start to fiscal 2008".

Consolidated net consumer lending revenue was $53.7 million for the first quarter, representing an increase of 36.8% or $14.5 million compared to the prior year period.

Money transfer fees for the quarter increased 27.7% year-over-year, driven by continued strong growth in the Companys international markets.
