MOGO REACHES 600,000 MEMBER MILESTONE ON ITS PATH TO BECOMING THE "GO-TO" FINANCIAL APP FOR MILLENNIALS IN CANADA

Mogo Finance Technology Inc. has surpassed 600,000 Mogo members, fuelled by growing brand awareness and multiple launches of new digital finance products -- all accessible through Mogo's award-winning app.

"The financial services industry is moving to mobile, and we're continuing to execute on our vision of making Mogo the go-to financial app for the next generation of Canadians," said David Feller, founder and chief executive officer of Mogo. "Our growth and success will continue to be driven by how well we help our members manage and improve their financial lives through the Mogo app. The more innovative new products we launch, along with new features we release and enhancements we make to our user experience, the faster we grow. Although we're pleased with the milestone of 600,000 members, we know we are still in the very early days of this digital transformation. Our team is passionately focused on making Mogo the go-to financial app for millions of Canadians."

Greg Feller, president and chief financial officer, added: "Along with this digital transformation, we are also seeing a continued shift to the subscription economy. Millions of millennials now subscribe to music and movie services, and we see a similar model emerging for financial services. At Mogo, members can sign up for free-to-access products while also having the option to upgrade to a monthly subscription to unlock additional features and benefits. The more products and services we add to this value proposition, the stickier it gets and the more users will likely see benefit in upgrading. Our 96-per-cent growth in subscription and fee-based revenue in Q4 2017 highlights our progress in this area, and we expect this to continue to be one of our primary drivers of revenue growth."

Q1 2018 member data highlights:

  • Increased member base by approximately 52 per cent year over year to 600,000 in Q1 2018;
  • During the same period, monthly active mobile users increased by 127 per cent;
  • Added 22 per cent more members in Q1 2018 as compared with Q1 2017;
  • Approximately 70 per cent of new member sign-ups are millennials.
