Oud-Beijerland, the Netherlands - August 19, 2010 (euro adhoc) -
Multicard, a business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE,
FSE: INV), today announced that it has been selected by Rabobank to
provide personalization and fulfillment services for the Dutch bank´s
latest application of its MiniTix cashless e-payment solution.
Multicard will manage product delivery, encoding and customer support
for a program that allows Rabobank´s employees to make cashless
payments using the e-paymentlabels on their mobile phones.

Rabobank´s MiniTix solution provides a more convenient alternative to
the "chipknip" electronic cash system currently used throughout the
Netherlands. Like chipknip, MiniTix is intended for small retail
payments where credit card fees do not make economic sense. The
MiniTix virtual wallet can be managed over the Internet rather than
having to be loaded with value at special banking terminals, and
payments can be made using a mobile phone or a contactless token such
as a key fob or wristband.

Currently Rabobank is allowing its employees to use their MiniTix
accounts to make purchases at canteens and cafeterias in the
workplace. Over time the bank plans to sign up additional merchants
and facilities such as football stadiums to participate in the
program, at which time employees will be able to use their existing
phone stickers or a more portable RFID token to pay for food,
beverages, event programs and the like.

"Rabobank is taking the lead in introducing some of Europe´s most
innovative schemes for contactless and mobile payments. We are very
pleased to once again work with Rabobank to bring the convenience and
security of MiniTix to Rabobank employees," said Pieter Kooistra,
chief executive officer of Multicard NL.
