MEXX Opts for Wirecard


MUNICH, Germany, January 19 /PRNewswire/ --

- With Immediate Effect Wirecard AG Provides Payment Services for Online
Shop

The Dutch fashion company Mexx Europe B.V. has opted in favor
of the package solution from Wirecard AG and Wirecard Bank AG for credit card
acceptance and settlement in its online shop.

The eShop is currently available to customers in Germany,
France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Mexx products are predominantly
distributed via own outlets, leading department stores, independent retailers
and via the company's own eShop. The lifestyle brand with a global
positioning provides a complete range of fashionable clothing as well as
related products and accessories for ladies and gents, youths and children,
as well as for toddlers and babies.

Jeroen van Stijn, Head of Online Operations at Mexx Europe
B.V.: "Mexx was one of the first producers, as early as eight years ago, to
rely on the multi-channel distribution approach comprising stores, catalogs
and the Internet. We found this economical solution for credit card payment
processing from a single source to be quite compelling."

"From February 2009, the cooperative venture with Mexx will
extend from credit card processing in four European countries, to include
processing and settlement services of the Dutch debit card iDEAL," says
Haldun Dagistan, Sales Manager Consumer Goods at Wirecard AG.

The range on offer from technology services provider Wirecard
comprises individually tailored, industry- and customer-specific payment and
risk management solutions, ranging from BSP in the airline sector and PoS
terminal solutions in the stationary segment all the way through to fraud
protection solutions for tele-shopping and Internet commerce. The services of
Wirecard Bank AG complement and extend the range of products and services for
business customers to include credit card acceptance agreements, banking
services and innovative prepaid card products.
