Wirecard AG and Metro Cash & Carry Cooperate

Marketing Campaign for POS Terminal Devices Including an Attractive Acquiring Package via the Wirecard Bank

MUNICH and GRASBRUNN, Germany, February 23, 2010 - Munich-based Wirecard AG and Metro Cash & Carry Germany have launched a
shared distribution campaign directed at tradesman customers of this leading
German self-service wholesaler. This Marketing campaign includes services
that will be provided by the Group subsidiaries Wirecard Retail Services GmbH
and Wirecard Bank AG.

The exclusive offer comprises a credit card acceptance agreement at
special terms and conditions as well as attractive purchase prices for
point-of-sale terminal devices from various manufacturers. Corporate
customers of Metro Cash & Carry in the fields of hotel/catering, independent
fuel stations as well as small traders or kiosk operators can choose between
the latest stationary or mobile IP-ready card reading devices.

In addition to the services on offer, all point-of-sale customers with
card acceptance facilities via the Wirecard Bank are given access to the
account management system of Wirecard AG. This central, web-based application
enables merchants to have a real-time insight into their terminal sales and
provide support with administrative tasks.

Peter Richter, Division Head of Finance and Accounting at Metro Cash &
Carry Germany, says: "Our objective is to give our professional clients
optimum support with their day-to-day operations. The package bundled by
Wirecard has certainly convinced us. After all, not only do our customers
benefit from the favorable terms and prices, but also from the technological
expertise of Wirecard AG."

"It was important to us to work out an attractive offer for
the customers of Metro Cash & Carry," explains Michael Brinkmann, VP
Corporate Marketing at Wirecard AG, adding: "We're all the more delighted to
be able to offer state-of-the-art IT ready devices within the scope of this
cooperative venture. As specialists for electronic payments, we expect speedy
technical convergence between processing payments at the POS and on the Web
by means of the Internet Protocol."

The direct marketing campaign was scheduled to start on 22
February 2010.
