FERRATUM OYJ: Ferratum Group enters strategic partnership with Interswitch in Nigeria

Ferratum Group enters strategic partnership with Interswitch in Nigeria
Helsinki,  6 October,  2017 -  Ferratum  Oyj (ISIN:  FI4000106299,  WKN: A1W9NS)
("Ferratum"),  is  pleased  to  announce  the  launch of Microloan in Nigeria in
partnership with Interswitch Limited ("Interswitch").

Nigeria  is the largest economy in Africa  with the largest population of around
180 million  people.   It  is  projected  to  have  128 million  households with
discretionary  income and a consumer-spending base rising to EUR 1.2 trillion by
2020.

The  Nigerian economy has traditionally been cash driven but is now experiencing
exponential  growth  in  mobile  money  transactions,  from  an  average monthly
transaction  value of USD 5 million in  2011 to USD 142.8 million in 2016.  This
can  be attributed to a surge in  e-commerce and smart phone penetration.  Smart
phone  penetration in  Nigeria was  estimated to  be 28% in 2016 with 76% of all
internet  traffic routed  through mobile  phones. This  makes Nigeria one of the
world's most mobile connected countries.

Interswitch,  based in Lagos, builds  and manages transaction infrastructure and
provides  secure electronic payment solutions.  All Nigerian banks are connected
to  Interswitch, making  the company  the most  accessible e-payment  network in
Nigeria.

Introducing  a  new  Interswitch  Lending  Services  Platform,  Interswitch  has
partnered  with  five  leading  banks  and  three  innovative  credit providers,
including  Ferratum.  The  platform  offers  proprietary  credit  analysis, risk
scoring  and management  technology that  members of  the partnership can use to
access customers who do transactions on the Interswitch network.

Ferratum  brings  its strengths  in predictive big  data analytics and automated
credit  risk scoring to this partnership, while Interswitch will handle customer
support  and marketing of Ferratum Microloans through its various sales channels
and platforms.

Ferratum  will initially  offer Microloan  amounts of  between NGN 1,000 and NGN
10,000 (approximately EUR 2.70 to EUR 27.00) to customers of Interswitch who are
resident  in Lagos.  The National Population Commission of Nigeria estimated the
population of Lagos to be 21 million in 2016, which makes it the largest city in
Africa.   A testament to Nigeria's potential  was its selection by Goldman Sachs
as  one of  the "Next  11" countries, which  will have  an impact  on the global
economy.

Ferratum Group founder and CEO, Jorma Jokela, commented:

"Entering  the African  market is  an important  milestone in  our international
growth  strategy.  Interswitch  is  an  established and well respected financial
company,  leading the way in creating  innovative ways to transact using digital
technologies  in Africa.   This partnership  is a  further step towards Ferratum
providing  accessible credit globally for any  individuals or businesses who are
underserved by traditional banks and mainstream finance.

For  the expansion of Ferratum into the African continent, the shared commitment
of   Ferratum   and  Interswitch  to  promote  financial  inclusion  makes  this
partnership all the more compelling."
