Payments to be Handled for Online Bookings for all Travel Brands

MUNICH, Germany, July 27, 2010 - Zurich-based TUI Suisse Ltd has outsourced its payment processing to
Wirecard AG. The range of services to be provided covers online consumer
payments for all bookings except for package beach holidays, via all portals
operated by TUI Suisse (www.tui.ch, www.1-2-fly.ch,
www.flextravel.ch and www.voegele-reisen.ch). In addition, the
Supplier & Commission Payments (SCP) solution will be deployed for payments
to TUI Suisse service providers.

"It is important for us to make our internal processes as efficient as
possible. We have found in Wirecard a partner who is able to handle B2C and
B2B payment flows via a single platform," says Andreas Gantenbein, Head of
Business Development at Flex Travel, TUI Suisse's individual travel brand.

Adds Jorg Moller, Executive Vice President Travel & Transport at Wirecard
AG: "We are pleased that with TUI Suisse a further TUI subsidiary has opted
for our services. The combination of technical skills, a bank license and
customer-oriented flexibility is a clear unique selling point, which sets us
apart in the holiday travel industry and elsewhere.

Wirecard AG's SCP solution is based on the automatic issue of virtual
credit cards by Wirecard Bank AG and simplifies global business-to-business
payment operations. The SCP platform automates each individual transaction
and generates a virtual credit card on a real-time basis. The actual date of
payment can be determined flexibly by setting payment periods. The agent
handles the credit card data in the customary manner-there is no need for new
processes. Data matching interfaces reconcile the payment and accounting
systems. This benefits both sides: the service provider such as the hotel or
airline receives a secured payment, while the organizer gains substantial
liquidity advantages.
