MUNICH, Germany, December 8 /PRNewswire/ --     Wirecard AG was commissioned to process credit card payments
for the new online shop launched in November by the retail chain Lidl.

The Lidl online shop represents a further development of the
stationary Lidl offering on the Internet. Schwarz E-Commerce GmbH & Co. KG
from Neckarsulm - like Lidl, a member of the Schwarz group of companies -
presents new special offers each week on www.lidl-shop.de, ranging from
household goods, tools and toys to winter sport articles. In implementing the
project, a great deal of importance was assigned to establishing the shop
from the very beginning on a technologically sophisticated level and
simultaneously exploiting the existing core structures of the Schwarz Group.

"We opted in favor of Wirecard AG as a payment services
provider because of their compelling complete package of 'acquiring and
transaction processing services from a single source' and their technical
expertise and consultancy skills," explains a spokesman for the company. "As
regards to the future development of the shop, it is particularly important
for us to cooperate with a partner who has an international presence, both in
the field of payments and in risk management services."

"In realizing the Lidl shop solution we contributed right from
the outset with our consultancy experience in the fields of payment and risk
management processes. We are pleased to be able to assist the Schwarz
eCommerce team in the course of its future expansion," says Christa Wagner,
Head of Key Account Management Retailservices at Wirecard AG.
