ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 18, 2000--CompuCredit Corporation

with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a follow-on public offering of
4,000,000 shares of its common stock. All of the shares will be sold by
CompuCredit. CompuCredit and four selling shareholders have granted the
underwriters an option to purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of common
stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

consumers on an unsecured basis through traditional channels such as direct
mail and telemarketing, as well as through its Internet marketing services
subsidiary, AspireCard.com, Inc. Aspire Visa cards are issued by Columbus

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective.
These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the
time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall
there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such state.
