BRISBANE, Australia - December 15, 2011 (euro adhoc) - Multicard, a
leading supplier of credential solutions, identity management and
system integration services and a business unit of Identive Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE, Frankfurt: INV), today announced it has
implemented a new fuel card program for Neumann Petroleum, a
privately owned oil company based in Queensland, Australia. To date
Multicard has rolled out the payment system to 130 locations
throughout Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. The
credit-based fuel cards are used by long-distance trucking fleets and
individual consumers alike and can be used to purchase fuel and other
items.

"Neumann Petroleum made a decision to expand our fuel card offering
and went looking for a partner to provide a robust card solution to
assist in this process. With Multicard, we now have a solution that
is helping us not only to grow our fuel card business but can also
provide our customers with online access to important fuel usage and
account information. The Multicard solution is also securely
integrated with our financial system, ensuring a transparent
experience for customers and a smooth transaction flow for Neumann,"
stated Stephen Litherland, Finance Manager, Neumann Petroleum.

Customers will be able to apply for the fuel card online, and once an
application is approved, a request is sent automatically from
Neumann´s ERP system to the Multicard Bureau Service, where a
customized transaction card is personalized for the new customer
account and each nominated cardholder and mailed out by Multicard.

The card can then be used throughout the network of Neumann or
Matilda-branded service stations throughout Queensland and New South
Wales. The Neumann Fuel Card is used like any other credit card with
a magnetic stripe and is swiped at point of sale in a POS terminal
provided by Multicard.

All transactions are batch uploaded from the POS terminal to
Multicard Manager, a Web-based administration portal that provides an
easy-to-use interface for Neumann Fuel Card account holders. Via the
secure Multicard Manager portal, Neumann Fuel Card holders will be
able to review their purchases online, compare logbook data and
produce usage reports. Multicard Manager also sends the purchase
information to Neumann´s ERP system, where the information is
compiled for accounting purposes and used to generate monthly account
notices to Neumann Fuel Card customers.

"Neumann´s Fuel Card program is an important service for drivers that
reinforces Neumann´s already strong brand. Multicard´s extensive
experience with developing and integrating secure ID systems for
payment, loyalty and access control enabled us to create and deploy a
custom solution for Neumann Petroleum that addresses their
requirements for a highly secure, reliable service that provides a
positive experience for their customers," said Ross Head, Managing
Director for Multicard Australia.
