FlexShopper (NASDAQ:FPAY), Inc. (NASDAQ: FPAY) operates a digital lease-to-own marketplace that enables consumers to acquire high-value goods through flexible installment agreements. The company partners with retailers and manufacturers to offer a broad selection of consumer electronics, home appliances, furniture and fitness equipment. Leveraging a proprietary credit evaluation engine, FlexShopper provides an alternative financing option for customers who may have limited credit history or prefer a nontraditional path to ownership.
Through its e-commerce platform, FlexShopper presents a seamless shopping experience by integrating product catalogues, pricing and lease terms on its own website as well as on partner retail sites. Customers select items, undergo a streamlined approval process and choose weekly or monthly payment plans typically ranging from a few months to a year. By retaining ownership of the merchandise until the final payment, FlexShopper manages risk while maintaining ongoing customer engagement through its subscription-style model.
Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, FlexShopper was founded in 2008 and has since evolved from a niche electronics lessor to a diversified online marketplace.

Its executive team brings experience in retail finance, digital marketing and software development, guiding strategy across customer acquisition, risk management and new market initiatives.
