boon launches with Google Pay in Switzerland

Aschheim (Munich) (ots) -

- Integration of Google Pay with Wirecard's mobile payment
solution enables Android users in Switzerland to make cashless
payments using their smartphone
- In addition to Switzerland, boon now also supports Google Pay in
Slovakia

Wirecard, the global innovation leader in digital financial
technology, is enabling Android users in Switzerland to benefit from
the launch of Google Pay with boon. The mobile payment solution is
now available for download in the Swiss Google Play Store. In
Slovakia, boon users can now also pay with Google Pay.

Google Pay is a mobile and secure payment method for contactless
payment in-store, in apps and for online shopping. By adding the
digital boon Mastercard to Google Pay, customers can now pay quickly
and easily with any NFC-enabled Android device. In stores that accept
Google Pay as a payment method, it is sufficient to hold the mobile
device to the POS terminal without having to open the boon app.

Florence Diss, Head of EMEA Commerce Partnerships at Google, said:
"As of today, customers in Switzerland can use Google Pay to pay
securely, quickly and easily both nationally and internationally. We
are delighted that Wirecard with boon is once again on board when we
launch in another new country. Together, we are driving forward the
digitalization of payments."

Georg von Waldenfels, Executive Vice President, Group Business
Development at Wirecard, added: "With innovative payment solutions,
we want to help as many consumers as possible to shop quickly and
conveniently at any time, without cash. The additional expansion of
our offering in Switzerland and Slovakia shows that we are on the
right track. With the help of boon, contactless payment will continue
to establish itself throughout Europe."

boon is the fastest growing mobile payment solution in Europe and
the industry's first fully digital mobile payment solution that can
be used independently of banks and telecommunications providers. The
app is already available for Google Pay in France, Germany, Ireland,
Italy, Spain and the UK.
