Mogo Reaches 600,000 Member Milestone

Mogo Finance Technology (TSX:MOGO, NASDAQ:MOGO), one of Canada’s financial technology companies announced that it has surpassed 600,000 members fuelled by growing awareness and multiple launches of new digital finance products.

As quoted in the press release:

“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 CEO 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 CFO, 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% 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.”
