The marketplace has experienced growth in the past twelve months, doubling its financial year revenue from $15 million to $35 million and on boarding established retailers such as Shaver Shop and Kitchen Warehouse. Additionally, MyDeal was named Australia’s sixth fastest growing company by The Australian Financial Review’s Fast 100.

In October 2017, MyDeal introduced small business loans offering MyDeal Marketplace Loans to support its existing retailers’ growth. Shortly after, they launched an Australian online fashion marketplace named MyWardrobe for boutique and pure play retailers which launched with 60 major boutiques. Most recently it ventured into luxury travel with an exclusive partnership with Ignite Travel Group.
