FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DOLLAR FINANCIAL CORP ANNOUNCES STRONG FISCAL 2007 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS;
RESULTS DRIVEN BY INTERNATIONAL REVENUE GROWTH OF 37.2%; NET INCOME INCREASES BY $12.0 MILLION
OVER PRIOR YEAR’S QUARTER

BERWYN, Pennsylvania, May 1, 2007 — Dollar Financial Corp (NASDAQ:DLLR — News), a leading international financial services company serving under-banked consumers, today announced results for the fiscal 2007 third quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Fiscal 2007 third quarter highlights (compared to the prior year period):

	•		Consolidated net revenue was $107.1 million, an increase of 23.8%.
	•		Net revenue from the Company’s international operations increased by 37.2% or $20.6 million.
	•		Adjusted EBITDA was $31.1 million, an increase of 28.2% or $6.8 million.
	•		Pro forma income before income taxes, excluding non-recurring charges for litigation settlements in the prior year, increased 43.2% from $13.3 million to $19.1 million.
	•		Income tax provision for the quarter was reduced to 38.2% of income before income taxes.
	•		Net income increased by $12.0 million to $11.7 million for the quarter versus a loss of $0.3 million in the prior year.
	•		EPS increased to $0.48 per fully-diluted share compared to a net loss per share of $0.02 for the previous year.
	•		Opened 11 de novo stores in the quarter.

Commenting on the results, Jeff Weiss, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are pleased with the solid performance the Company achieved in the third quarter, led by the continued successful build-out of our international business operations. The cornerstone of this Company is our ability to be flexible and innovative. As a result, we are able to quickly adapt to and benefit from changes in consumer demand, regulation and other industry issues. Our flexibility has allowed us to quickly respond to

these changes by adjusting and optimizing our store expansion strategy in each of our geographic markets, as well as evaluating and modifying our product set through the use of market research and innovative technology. We continue to execute on our multi-country, multi-channel, and multi-product strategy to consistently deliver value to our shareholders.”

During the fiscal second quarter ending December 31, 2006, the Company acquired 82 of its franchise stores in Canada and 23 locations in Florida and, as such, the third quarter ending March 31, 2007 was the first quarter that included the full benefit of these acquisitions in the Company’s financial performance. Consolidated check cashing revenue increased by 17.6% or $6.4 million, as the Canadian business segment grew by 27.0% or $3.4 million and U.K. check cashing revenue increased by 29.2% or $2.8 million. On a consolidated basis, the face amount of the average check cashed increased 5.2% to $485 compared to $461 for the prior year, and the average fee per check cashed increased by 6.4% to $18.82.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, consolidated net consumer lending revenue increased by 36.2% or $12.7 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by growth of 56.3% or $9.3 million in the Canadian operation, while the U.K. business unit grew by 38.2% or $2.4 million. The consolidated loan loss provision for the quarter, as a percentage of gross consumer lending revenue, was 20.8% as compared to 18.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The continued shift towards a greater mix of installment loans on a global basis, along with the Company’s on-going effort to increase the average loan amount available to customers in Canada, has resulted in an expected small increase in loan loss rates over the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Total Company funded loan originations were $359.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, representing a net increase of 54.5% or $126.8 million compared to the prior year. Company funded loan originations in the U.S., including the acquired Florida stores, increased by $18.7 million or 36.6%, Canadian loan originations, including the results of the acquired franchise stores, increased by 65.4% or $86.4 million, while loan originations in the U.K. increased by 44.0% or $21.7 million.

Money transfer fees increased 15.0% or $0.7 million, propelled by growth in the Company’s international markets. Other revenue increased by 8.2% or $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, principally due to the success of MasterCard^® branded debit-card sales in the Canadian and U.K. business units, as well as growth in the foreign currency product in both the Canadian and U.K. businesses.

Comparable store sales increased 6.0% or $4.9 million for the third quarter, and on a constant currency basis increased by 4.1% or $3.3 million. On a native currency basis, the Company’s Canadian business realized comparable store sales growth of 4.9%, the U.K. operation generated comparable store sales growth of

12.9%, while the U.S. business was approximately flat with the prior year. Comparable store sales growth in the U.S. business unit was negatively impacted by a decline in check cashing fees associated with a lower volume of seasonal income tax refund checks cashed in California and Washington State, as new regulations in these two states substantially tightened the licensing requirements for companies offering tax filing services. In addition, in the prior year’s quarter, several of the Canadian provinces issued one-time government rebate checks that were cashed in the Company’s stores. These provincial rebate programs were not repeated in the current year, thereby impacting comparable store sales in Canada for the current quarter.

The Company realized a store and regional margin of $41.7 million, an increase of 24.4% as compared to $33.5 million in the prior year’s quarter. Corporate expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, decreased to 12.7% as compared to 13.2% for the prior year’s quarter.

The Company generated net income of $11.7 million for the quarter as compared to a net loss of $0.3 million in the prior year’s quarter, and fully-diluted earnings per share were $0.48 compared to a net loss per share of $0.02 for the previous year. The Company continued its de novo store expansion program by opening 11 new company-owned financial services stores in the third quarter, of which 8 were in the Canadian market and 3 in the U.S. market.

Canadian Regulatory Update

On April 26, the Canadian Senate gave Bill C-26 final passage, which upon Royal Assent will devolve authority to Canadian provinces to regulate the payday loan industry. The Company expects the Bill to be formally proclaimed into law by Canada’s Governor General in the near future. Thereafter, each province will have the responsibility to introduce provincial legislation to protect consumers and set a clear ceiling on the costs of borrowing. The Company and its Canadian subsidiary, National Money Mart (which is a founding member of the Canadian Payday Loan Association) fully support the passage of this important legislation and will work with provincial policy-makers to enact regulation that provides for a competitive marketplace that balances consumer protection with a strong and viable industry. The provinces of Nova Scotia and Manitoba have already passed their required legislation in anticipation of passage of C-26 and are expected to set maximum allowable rates as early as this fall. The provinces of British Columbia and Saskatchewan currently have legislation before their parliaments. The provinces of New Brunswick and Alberta are expected to introduce legislation this fall, with other provinces expected to follow sometime thereafter.

Commenting on the recent regulatory developments in Canada, Don Gayhardt, the Company’s President stated, “As the lowest cost provider in the market, the recent developments with respect to regulatory reform in Canada present an interesting opportunity for the Company. We are presently preparing to increase our de

novo store build plan in Canada to potentially open up to 75 to 100 new stores in fiscal 2008, while at the same time continuing to explore potential accretive acquisitions to supplement our de novo store build strategy. As we expect the Canadian market for our products and services will grow as a result of a clarified regulatory environment, we believe this contemplated enhanced store expansion program could allow us to potentially double the number of company-owned stores we operate in Canada over the next five years, whereby allowing the Company to maintain its approximately 40% share of the Canadian market.”

Guidance:

The Company presently does not anticipate that the previously discussed Canadian provincial regulation will take effect before the second quarter of fiscal 2008, at the earliest; as a result, at this time, the Company does not expect it will have a significant impact on the Company’s present guidance for fiscal 2007 and calendar 2007. The Company will continue to monitor the pace of regulatory developments in Canada and any potential impact an enhanced store development program may have on the Company’s existing guidance which follows.

Fiscal Year 2007 Guidance

•

For the June 30, 2007 fiscal year, the Company is reaffirming its previous guidance of revenue between $400.0 million and $405.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA between $112.0 million and $114.0 million, and pro forma income before income taxes of between $66.0 million and $68.0 million.

Calendar Year 2007 Guidance

•

At this time the Company is reaffirming its previously announced calendar year 2007 guidance of revenue between $450.0 million and $460.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $127.0 million to $132.0 million, income before income taxes of $78.0 million to $80.0 million, and earnings per diluted share of between $1.95 and $2.05.

The reconciliation between Adjusted EBITDA and income before income taxes is consistent with the historical reconciliation as presented at the end of this news release.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

Adjusted EBITDA is not an item prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation, amortization, charges related to incentive stock options and restricted shares, loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs and other items described below. Dollar presents Adjusted EBITDA as an indication of operating performance and its ability to service its debt and capital expenditure requirements. Adjusted EBITDA does not indicate whether Dollar’s cash flow will be sufficient to fund all of its cash needs. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with GAAP. Dollar believes that Adjusted EBITDA amounts should be considered by prospective investors because Dollar uses them as one measure of analyzing its ability to service its debt and capital expenditure requirements, and Dollar understands that they are used by some investors as one measure of a Company’s historical ability to service its debt and capital expenditure requirements. Not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion, and therefore these amounts as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The table below reconciles income before income taxes as reported on Dollar’s Interim Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations to Adjusted EBITDA (dollars in thousands):
