Aschheim (Munich) (ots) -

- From early 2020, boon Planet account holders to benefit from
attractive interest rates
- Thanks to the European deposit guarantee scheme, all funds and
interest are 100% protected[1]
- Consumers do not need another bank account in everyday life: boon
Planet offers everything for their daily finances

Following a successful launch, Wirecard is adding further attractive features to
its boon Planet digital payment and banking solution: boon Planet current
account holders will receive interest of around 0.75% from the beginning of 2020
- a rate that comparable solutions do not offer. Throughout the year, the
offering will be expanded to include further investment options. Users no longer
have to leave the app to manage their everyday finances.

Claudia Kaub, Head of Consumer Solutions at Wirecard, said, "With the additional
functionality, we are continuing to pursue our goal of simplifying consumers'
entire everyday financial life with boon. This also includes attractive
investment options."

With boon Planet, a fully comprehensive digital current account, which underlies
the European deposit guarantee, can be opened in five minutes. Users have a
complete overview of all their finances and can carry out contactless payments
with a smart device or physical card anywhere Mastercard is accepted. In the
future, services such as intelligent savings plans, real-time insurance, digital
loyalty features and mobility solutions will be integrated.

The new offering will be available to all boon Planet users in Germany from the
beginning of 2020, and will be launched in further countries in the near future.

boon Planet will not only be available in Europe but in future also worldwide.
The boon platform can additionally be used by Wirecard's B2B clients, businesses
of any kind, which can offer the service under their own brand. Wirecard
therefore expects to win hundreds of millions of banking customers over the next
years. By combining data and AI-driven services with innovative neobanking
features in a single app, targeted solutions can be offered in the future.
