FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DOLLAR FINANCIAL CORP ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE 82
FINANCIAL SERVICES STORES IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA;
ACQUISITION EXPECTED TO BE IMMEDIATELY ACCRETIVE TO EARNINGS

BERWYN, Pennsylvania, October 11, 2007 — Dollar Financial Corp (NASDAQ:DLLR — News), a leading international financial services company serving under-banked consumers, today announced that the Company has entered into an agreement to purchase eighty-two financial services stores in southeast Florida which offer check cashing, payday loans, and other ancillary products, from CCS Financial Services, Inc. (“The Check Cashing Store”). The Company expects that the total annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA from these stores for the twelve months following consummation of the acquisition will be approximately $45.0 million and $12.5 million, respectively, excluding transition and integration costs. The estimated earnings per share accretion from the acquired stores for the twelve months following consummation of the acquisition is estimated to be between $0.19 and $0.22 per fully-diluted share. The total purchase price for the acquisition, including the consumer loan portfolio and cash in stores at closing, is anticipated to be approximately $100.0 million.

Commenting on the acquisition, Jeff Weiss, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The acquisition of these eighty-two stores in southeast Florida will be a great addition to the twenty-three stores we previously acquired on the west coast of Florida in November 2006. This acquisition will substantially increase our presence in Florida, which has a favorable regulatory framework, attractive demographics and a rapidly growing service sector workforce. This acquisition, along with the Company’s recent purchase of forty-five stores, primarily in the Midwest, underscores our strategy to improve the profitability of our U.S. business by unlocking the value of our significant U.S. income tax NOL’s.”

The Company intends to utilize a portion of the proceeds from its recent $200.0 million senior convertible note offering, which was completed on June 27, 2007, to pay for the acquisition. The Company anticipates completing the acquisition upon receipt of the approval of the Company’s

lenders and applicable regulatory approvals, including the receipt of state and local business licenses, which are expected to be obtained in the next forty-five to sixty days.

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 non-qualified stock options and restricted shares and other items. The Company 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 the Company’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. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA amounts should be considered by prospective investors because the Company uses them as one means of analyzing its ability to service its debt and capital expenditure requirements, and the Company 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. Please refer to the recent news release announcing the Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007 financial results, issued on September 10, 2007, for a general reconciliation of how the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA.
