goeasy Ltd. Surpasses a $2 Billion Consumer Loan Portfolio
09 Décembre 2021 - 3:00PM
(“goeasy” or the “Company”), one of Canada’s leading non-prime
consumer lenders, announced today that it has surpassed a $2
billion consumer loan portfolio.
The Company began consumer lending in 2006 with
the launch of its easyfinancial division, after opening the first
test kiosk at an easyhome leasing store in Edmonton, Alberta.
goeasy has since grown to become one of the country’s largest
non-prime consumer lenders, with over 400 locations coast-to-coast,
a fully digital lending platform and point-of-sale financing
offered in the retail, power sports, automotive, home improvement
and healthcare verticals, through more than 4,000 merchants
across Canada. The lending division has proudly served nearly
750,000 Canadians, with 1 out of 3 graduating back to prime credit
and over 60% improving their credit score within 12 months of
borrowing.
“While it took nearly 13 years to reach the
first $1 billion in 2019, we are proud to have doubled the
business, reaching $2 billion in consumer loans within two and a
half years,” said Jason Mullins, goeasy’s President & CEO,
“Achieved through a combination of strong organic growth and the
strategic acquisition of LendCare earlier this year, this milestone
reflects the strength and resiliency of our business model, the
passion of our 2,200 team members to support our customers, and the
benefits of scale, supported by a balance sheet and forward
liquidity to fund growth through 2023,” Mr. Mullins continued, “We
also continue to see improving consumer demand, while the benefits
of our product and channel diversification are helping to produce
record originations. We are now confident we will exceed the
high-end of our growth outlook for the fourth quarter, adding over
$110 million to the consumer loan portfolio.”
goeasy continues to pursue a long-term strategy
that includes expanding its product range, developing its channels
of distribution, broadening the geography in which it operates, and
improving the financial wellness of its customers, by helping them
improve their credit score and graduate back to prime. The company
remains well positioned to achieve its long-term growth objectives,
including a consumer loan portfolio of between $2.8 billion and
$3.0 billion by the end of 2023.
