Wirecard and Raiffeisen Bank International offer comprehensive financial services from a single source across Central and Eastern Europe

Aschheim (Munich) (ots) - - Raiffeisen Bank International is the second largest
bank in Austria and serves the Central and Eastern European region in 13
countries to date

- Wirecard and Raiffeisen Bank International provide digital payment solutions
for local markets

- Eastern Europe has great potential for cashless payments and is a key region
to achieve full European coverage

Wirecard, the global innovation leader for digital financial technology, and
Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) today announced an extensive cooperation in
the area of financial services. Within the terms of the agreement, the two
companies are jointly offering merchants in a total of 13 Central and Eastern
European countries a complete range of financial services via the Wirecard
Financial Commerce platform.

In non-EU countries, such as Ukraine or Serbia, RBI takes on the role of the
acquirer and processes payments via the Wirecard platform. Merchants also gain
easy access to the entire portfolio of payment services the Wirecard platform
offers. The integration of these services into their business is therefore quick
and easy.

"With RBI, we have a strong partner at our side for further expansion into
Eastern European markets. This enables us to take advantage of the great
potential in this region, where 50 percent of transactions are still carried out
with cash. Initial projects are already being implemented, and we are looking
forward to connecting even more merchants to our platform," said Roland Toch,
Managing Director Central and Eastern Europe at Wirecard.

"Thanks to our cooperation with Wirecard, merchants can not only improve their
digital payment processes, but also optimize the entire customer experience
thanks to the wide scope of services the Wirecard platform offers. Together, we
offer everything merchants need, namely payment acceptance in combination with
technical expertise and comprehensive financial services," added Andrii
Stepanenko, Member of the Management Board and responsible for Retail Banking at
RBI.
