Internet Retailer Names FlexShopper Top-20 Fastest Growing Mobile E-Commerce Retailer

BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FlexShopper, Inc. (OTCQB: FPAY, "FlexShopper"), a leading national online lease-to-own ("LTO") retailer and LTO payment solution provider, today announced that it was ranked the 18^th fastest growing mobile e-commerce company as part of Internet Retailer's 2017 Mobile 500^® report. FlexShopper's rapid mobile-revenue growth, which Internet Retailer reported as 100.3%, and leadership in bringing online the traditional rent-to-own, store-based model led to the Company ranking 298^th on the Mobile 500 list and 30^th in FlexShopper's primary merchandise category of computers and electronics.

FlexShopper is an innovator in online, lease-to-own financing technology, growing lease originations  at a record pace, while bringing digital leadership to the traditional rent-to-own store-based model. The Company continues to grow awareness and adoption, by both retailers and consumers, of its online lease-to-own platform – an achievement recognized by this high, national ranking.  FlexShopper recently completed a reverse stock split and is trading on the OTC market under the ticker "FPAYD" as part of an application for listing on the Nasdaq exchange.

"This is the first year we've been listed on the Internet Retailer Mobile 500, and it reflects our rapid rise into the ranks of the world's leading e-retailer and mobile e-commerce players," said Brad Bernstein, FlexShopper CEO. "Our customer is a very strong user of mobile devices and hence more and more of our lease-to-own transactions are happening exclusively through mobile."

The Internet Retailer's 2017 Mobile 500 is an annual ranking of the world's largest mobile commerce players, based on annual mobile sales and other key metrics. According to the report, companies ranked in the Mobile 500 are on pace to grow their sales from mobile devices 53.4 percent to roughly $220.4 billion this year, up from $143.7 billion in 2015.
