Variety Creates Added Value

GRASBRUNN and MUNICH, Germany, April 13, 2011 - With immediate effect, Wirecard Bank is offering its prepaid card
solutions in the field of white labeling for co-branded cards. This means
partner companies can issue card products with their own look & feel.
Wirecard Bank's co-branding range is compelling because it features a
seamless, end-to-end design for the partner organization, comprising a fully
automated application process, from the cardholder interface at the online
portal to customer care at the call center.

Wirecard Bank's card program is customized to consumers' requirements.
This enables companies to address their clients in a highly individualized
way. All technological processes are standardized across the board, providing
numerous configuration options for a co-branding card program. Partner
companies can also achieve substantial added value in combination with a
customer loyalty program, especially if card users can benefit from
additional offers such as more favorable terms and prices.

Companies can choose from a unique range of product variants available on
the German market-Visa, Maestro or MasterCard-or as a plastic or virtual card
that can be ordered over the Internet or even purchased "2go" at the point of
sale. At the same time, Wirecard Bank offers solutions individually tailored
to the specific enterprise.

Thanks to distribution partnerships already in place, Wirecard Bank has a
network of more than 20,000 real-time top-up stations across Germany, mostly
at service stations and in convenience stores. This infrastructure can also
be used by the respective co-branding partner organization for its particular
card program. This means cardholders can use a network of branches available
virtually nationwide to top up their cards with cash in real time at one of
the stations.

Klaus Kröger, Head of Sales Issuing at the Wirecard Bank, explains:
"Never before have consumer had a greater need, to underscore their
individual appeal than today. Because we customize our co-branding programs
to each partner company using a large number of parameters, the partner
benefits from maximum flexibility. The special appeal lies in a completely
seamless co-branding system combined with a large network of physical cash
topping-up stations."

With its new co-branded card program, Wirecard Group is reaching out to
additional customer segments and showing its ability to develop innovative
products by combining technology and banking services.
