FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DOLLAR FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES CONSENTS OBTAINED FOR THE
AMENDMENT AND EXTENSION OF EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT

BERWYN, Pennsylvania, December 1, 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 that it has obtained the consent of the lenders required to amend and restate the terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facilities. The amendments will revise the covenants under the senior secured credit facilities to give the Company greater operating flexibility and extend the maturity date of a majority of the Company’s approximately $100.0 million revolving facilities in the U.S. and Canada and its $286.2 million of term loans in Canada and $83.5 million of term loans in the United Kingdom. The amended and restated credit agreement is expected to provide the Company with increased flexibility to continue to take advantage of opportunities to further expand the Company’s global footprint and diversified business model. The amendment and restatement of the credit agreement is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the amendment agreement, and the Company expects that the amendment and restatement of the credit agreement will become effective concurrent with the consummation of the previously announced senior note offering of National Money Mart Company, its indirect wholly owned Canadian subsidiary.

As part of the terms of the amendment and restatement of the credit agreement, the Company will be required to pay down $100.0 million of its existing term loans on a pro rata basis. Lenders representing approximately 88% of the revolving credit facilities and approximately 85% of the term loans have agreed to extend the maturity to December 2014. The extension of the revolving credit facilities and term loans maturity to December 2014 is subject to the condition that, 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. Revolving credit facilities and term loans with an extended maturity will receive an annual interest spread of 500 bps with a minimum 2.0% LIBOR (or

LIBOR equivalent) floor and, in the case of the revolving facilities, will be based on a leverage based pricing grid. The portion of revolving credit facilities and term loans that have not consented to the extended maturity will receive an annual interest spread of 375 bps with a minimum 2.0% LIBOR (or LIBOR equivalent) floor and, in the case of the revolving facilities, will be based on a leverage based pricing grid. However, if the Company’s corporate credit rating is lower than B2 from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or lower than B from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services at any time during the 30 days after the date of effectiveness of the amended and restated credit agreement, all the spreads will increase by an additional 100 bps.
