Payment Processing and Settlement via Wirecard AG's PCI-Certified Platform

MUNICH, November 4, 2010 - With immediate effect, DB Vertrieb GmbH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn
(German Rail), will be using Wirecard AG's PCI-certified payment platform to
process and settle payments by credit card for its Online Business Travel
(OBT) portal. The acceptance (Acquiring) agreement to this end was signed
with Wire­card Bank AG, among other service providers.

The range on offer by OBT is addressed especially to SMEs wanting to book
travel by rail, air, hotel accommodation and hired cars at attractive prices
from a single portal. In addition to a convenient booking process, the
solution also extends to include a travel schedule that consolidates all
services booked in a transparent format. This means that time- and
cost-intensive comparisons on several platforms are now a thing of the past.
Clients who make their travel arrangements via OBT also have extended travel
management functions available for setting up travel guidelines, preferred
providers or booking groups.

Ludger Bals, Managing Director of OBT, explains why they opted in favor
of Wirecard AG: "Our motto is, 'everything from a single source'. The
integrated array of services provided by Wirecard AG is the perfect match for
out approach. We provide our customers with a simple, convenient and
efficient solution for their business travel arrangements. Our cooperative
venture with Wirecard serves to extend this approach to include the internal
processes associated with the handling and settlement of payments."

Clients of Wirecard AG benefit from an international and fully integrated
portfolio of solutions - from a single source and platform. In doing so, the
company takes account of the individual customer requirements prevailing in
the tourism industry - flexibly and efficiently.

"OBT assigns a great deal of importance to transparent reports and
statistics. Our system integrates itself seamlessly into the various booking
processes," emphasizes Jorg Moller, Executive Vice President of Sales Travel
& Transport at Wirecard AG.

Plans are already under way to expand the cooperation: in future, all
credit card payments booked via OBT's call center are to be handled via the
Wirecard AG platform as well.
