Wirecard, the global innovation leader for digital financial technology, and
wirecube have won Austria's largest supermarket chain BILLA as a new customer.
With the BILLA Scan & Go app, customers can pay for their purchases directly in
the app. The solution can be used for all products that are available in-store.
Part of the REWE Group, BILLA operates 1,100 stores in Austria.

With BILLA Scan & Go, the entire purchasing process is digitalized and
simplified. Customers can not only scan desired products themselves on their own
mobile phones, but can also pay for them directly in the app, thanks to
Wirecard's integrated payment solution. Queuing up will as a result become
history. After the payment is completed, a digital invoice is automatically
created which is compliant with local security and tax regulations.

For recurring purchases, the payment details can be stored directly in the app,
further simplifying and accelerating the entire process. Another advantage is
the integration of the jö Bonus Club in the app. The user needs to activate this
function only once, after which they can collect bonus points automatically and
no longer need to present their jö Card.

"At Wirecard, we want to make the payment process as fast, simple and pleasant
as possible. The new BILLA app is a further example of how new technologies can
be used to create outstanding customer experiences that offer genuine added
value for consumers," said Alexander Hahn, Vice President Sales Retail at
Wirecard.

"With BILLA Scan & Go, BILLA is being recognized as the retail innovation leader
in Austria. BILLA customers experience a new way of shopping and it is exciting
to see how well the app is received," added Florian Burgstaller, CEO of
wirecube.

Interested parties will be able to experience this and other digital retail
solutions (https://www.wirecard.com/blog/the-year-of-transformative-retail) up
close this week at EuroShop in Dusseldorf and in March at the Internet World
Expo in Munich.
