FlexShopper's rapid growth and leadership in bringing online the traditional rent-to-own store-based model was recognized during the second quarter 2016 when FlexShopper was named by Internet Retailer as the fastest growing consumer electronics e-retailer in the U.S. for 2015.
"Our site traffic and lease applications continue to achieve record growth thanks to our integrated technology backbone serving retailers and consumers," Bernstein added. "At the same time, we have maintained our underwriting discipline, as our vintages of leases continue to perform as expected."
