FLEXSHOPPER, INC. ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE LEASE-TO-OWN SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH TOP ELECTRONICS INTERNET RETAILER
Boca Raton, FL (May 28, 2014) - FlexShopper, Inc. (OTCQB Symbol: FPAY) is pleased to announce that it has signed an exclusive Lease-to-Own (“LTO”) Services Agreement with a top electronics internet retailer that has store and e-commerce operations generating more than $175 million in annual revenues. This client will utilize FlexShopper’s LTO technology platform in-store at checkout and will also electronically send its product feed to FlexShopper’s e-commerce marketplace. Both of these channels provide FlexShopper’s clients increased sales with consumers that don’t have cash or credit to make purchases. Additionally, FlexShopper’s client may integrate FlexShopper’s patent pending LTO payment method at checkout on its e-commerce site.
Brad Bernstein, President, stated, “we are very pleased to sign this agreement because this retailer can employ our LTO technology and funding programs and maximize sales across all three of our channels: in-store, online and on our marketplace. This retailer along with many retailers are embracing “virtual” LTO because it helps increase their sales with over 50 million people that do not have cash or credit to acquire durable goods. We also anticipate that this new merchant relationship and their product feed will expand our e-commerce marketplace offering from over 16,000 items to nearly 100,000. We are pleased with our progress in becoming the ultimate marketplace and online destination for consumers to acquire durable goods including electronics, computers and furniture, on an affordable payment, lease basis.”
