Apple Pay Coming to boon's Customers in Germany / Offering an Easy, Secure & Private Way to Pay

Aschheim (Munich) (ots) - Wirecard, the global innovation leader in digital
financial technology, today brings its German boon customers Apple Pay, which is
transforming mobile payments with an easy, secure and private way to pay that's
fast and convenient.

Wirecard consequently drives forward the digitization of payments to approach
new consumers. As of now, the iOS boon app is available at the App Store to
users of iOS devices in Germany. Which makes it possible for everybody to use
Apple Pay instantly. Users can top up their boon account using any Mastercard or
Visa credit card and via bank transfer. As a result, it is not necessary to
already own a credit card from a bank supported by Apple Pay.

Security and privacy is at the core of Apple Pay. When you use the boon card
information with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the
device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is
assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device.
Each transaction is authorized with a one-time unique dynamic security code.

Georg von Waldenfels, Executive Vice President Consumer Solutions at Wirecard,
says, "We welcome today's launch of Apple Pay in Germany. We are delighted to
now offer boon via Apple Pay to all owners of an Apple device. Together with
Apple Pay, we are further enhancing the user experience for consumers and thus
advance the digitization of payment processes globally."

Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the
rewards and bene?ts offered by credit and debit cards. In stores, Apple Pay
works with iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and later, and Apple Watch.

Online shopping in apps and on websites accepting Apple Pay is simple with Touch
ID, or just double-click the side button and authenticate with a glance with
Face ID. There's no need to manually fill out lengthy account forms or
repeatedly type in shipping and billing information with Apple Pay. When paying
for goods and services in apps or Safari, Apple Pay works with iPhone 6 and
later, iPhone SE, iPad Pro, iPad (5th Generation and later), iPad Air 2, and
iPad mini 3 and later. You can also use Apple Pay in Safari on any Mac
introduced in or after 2012 running macOS Sierra and confirm the payment with
iPhone 6 or later or Apple Watch, or with Touch ID on the new MacBook Pro and
MacBook Air.
