BERWYN, Pennsylvania, December 23, 2009 — Dollar Financial Corp (NASDAQ:DLLR — News), a leading international diversified financial services company primarily serving unbanked and under-banked consumers for nearly 30 years, today announced the completion of its $600.0 million offering of senior notes by its indirect wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, National Money Mart Company. The notes pay interest semi-annually at a fixed rate of 10.375% per annum.

The Notes will mature on December 15, 2016. The maturity date of the Notes will be automatically shortened to November 30, 2012, unless prior to October 30, 2012 the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2.875% senior convertible notes due 2027 has been reduced to an amount less than or equal to $50.0 million by means of (i) the repurchase or redemption thereof , (ii) defeasance thereof or (iii) the exchange or conversion thereof into unsecured notes of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries having no mandatory repayment prior to April 1, 2015, or into common stock of the Company. After the completion of the note exchange discussed below, $80.0 million of the Company’s 2.875% senior convertible notes will remain outstanding.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to prepay $350.0 million of the approximately $369.6 million outstanding under the term loan portion of its senior secured credit facility, which reduces the outstanding balance to approximately $19.6 million.

The anticipated EBITDA contribution from the acquired
