Helsinki,  10 January  2018 -  The  Board  of  Directors  of Ferratum Oyj (ISIN:
FI4000106299,  WKN: A1W9NS)  is pleased  to publish  its expectations concerning
Ferratum  Group's  further  business  development  and performance for the 2018

    products and growth in new markets
  * Moderate expectations on the 2018 contribution of new revenue streams from
    partnerships, mobile bank innovations

    Ferratum Business in additional markets
  * Ferratum Mobile Bank is to be introduced in additional countries and will
    generate new customers, increased customer loyalty, cross-selling
    opportunities, increased deposit volume and diversified deposit currencies
  * No material negative changes in the consumer and business credit markets
  * Stable capital market conditions
  * No unexpected significant new regulatory challenges or changes
