MOGO LAUNCHES MOGOPROTECT TO HELP PROTECT CANADIANS AGAINST IDENTITY FRAUD

Mogo Finance Technology Inc. has launched MogoProtect, a new digital solution to help consumers protect themselves against identify fraud.

"With data breaches happening almost daily, most people don't realize they've been compromised until the damage is already done. The potential effects of identify fraud -- financial losses, reduced creditworthiness -- can be devastating, making it more important than ever for everyone to watch for signs of suspicious activity and unexpected inquiries into their credit file," said David Feller, founder and chief executive officer of Mogo. "With MogoProtect, we are introducing a highly convenient and affordable mobile first solution to help Canadians detect potential fraud and stop it before it becomes a real issue. At $8.99 per month, it's roughly half the price of comparable solutions in the market, and we believe MogoProtect offers an unmatched, mobile-first user experience."

In a recent Gallup poll, Americans ranked identity theft as their single greatest worry, in part because of the potential impact on their financial life. Take the recent story of a Canadian woman whose identity was stolen, allowing thieves to get two mortgages in her name that totalled $500,000. After she investigated her own case, she found out that the thieves had tried to borrow money at 12 or more financial companies. Nobody can prevent identity theft but a solution like MogoProtect would have alerted her when any of those lenders did an inquiry into her Equifax credit bureau, which would have given her a chance to help stop the fraud before it happened.

"There are approximately 26 million Canadians with a credit score and, increasingly, we believe every Canadian will need a solution like this because the consequences of identity fraud can be so severe," added Greg Feller, president and chief financial officer of Mogo. "Not only does this product represent a significant new revenue opportunity for Mogo, it highlights the power and value of our technology platform, as this product was conceived, built and launched within three months -- a tremendous achievement by our team. This subscription revenue stream aligns with our strategic focus on growing the other product revenue and fees segment of our business, and we will continue to introduce new fee-based products in the coming quarters, including our new cryptocurrency account in the first quarter of 2018. These innovative products will help us achieve our target of 800,000 to one million members by the end of 2018."

MogoProtect monitors your Equifax credit bureau and notifies you by push notification and e-mail whenever a company makes an inquiry, which happens when you consent to a credit check while opening a new bank account or completing an application for credit. If you notice a suspicious inquiry, MogoProtect will guide you through the next steps to help prevent the fraud.

"Our mission is to empower Canadians to manage their financial health in the most convenient way possible, and we plan to eventually offer all the solutions that someone needs to manage their financial health, all from one convenient digital account," continued Mr. Feller. "We chose MogoProtect as our fifth product, because we truly believe that identity fraud is one of the greatest risks to consumers' financial health. In studying the market, we also noticed a big gap in both a mobile-first solution and an affordable one. MogoProtect is meant to solve this gap."

MogoProtect is seamlessly integrated into the MogoAcccount and can be accessed through the Mogo app (iOS and Android versions).

Mogo's multiproduct platform includes:

• Canada's first free credit score monitoring solution;
