Aschheim (ots) - Continental's TwoWheel business unit now offers
an online shop for bicycle accessories. Payment processing for the
shop will be handled by Wirecard, the leading innovation driver of
digital financial technology.

The online shop is initially available to customers with a
delivery address in Germany and offers accessories, cycling clothing
and selected tires as special editions. Customers can choose from
this offer online and pay conveniently and securely thanks to
Wirecard. Credit card payments via Mastercard and Visa are integrated

according to the German Association of the Two-Wheeler Industry,
almost six million new bicycles are added every year. The turnover

tires and cycling clothing as additional merchandise articles
amounted to around 298 million euros in 2016.

business unit in the area of payment. Together with Continental, we
have found the desired mix of secure and flexible payment for the
Continental online shop from our various solutions, in order to
