epay is launching Amazon.de Gift Cards to 3,350 stores in Eastern Europe

Martinsried/ München (ots) - Amazon.de Gift Cards are now
available to consumers in the Czech and Polish retail channels. epay,
a Euronet Worldwide Company, is administering the technical and
commercial implementation of this launch for Amazon. "By expanding to
both countries, we are able to help provide Amazon with additional
opportunities in Eastern Europe, while our retailers on location
receive access to a portfolio of international brands similar to that
in Germany, where we are already a leading supplier of gift card and
prepaid solutions," says Marc Ehler, managing director for epay in
Europe.

Major promotion in the Czech Republic and Poland

For the Czech launch, epay is implementing the voucher solution as
a "Claim Code on Receipt" concept at around 550 stores, including the
subsidiaries of a number of major German retailers. With the service,
customers receive a PIN on their receipt after making a purchase.
This PIN can then be redeemed to a customer's Amazon.de Gift Card
Balance.

In Poland, physical gift cards have been introduced at around
2,800 stores, including a range of well-known supermarkets and
convenience stores. "Claim Code on Receipt" are set to follow in
December 2018 and "Account Loading via Barcode" at the beginning of
next year.

To support the launch of its gift card solutions in both
countries, Amazon is starting a major promotional campaign. From
launch until 31st March 2019 customers making their first Top Up of
EUR30 or more to their Amazon Gift Card Account via "Amazon Top Up in
Store" will receive a EUR10 promotional credit. (terms and conditions

epay introduces "Amazon Top Up in Store" with two ways to top up
an Amazon.de Gift Card balance: "Claim Code on Receipt" and "Gift
Card Account Loading via Barcode"

The two companies have been working closely together since 2013,
launching the Gift Card solutions in 11 countries around the world,
including Australia, Germany, France, Great Britain and the United
States. The Amazon Gift Card is already one of the top sellers of
epay in Germany boasting consistent growth rates for the company for
years. The expansion to Eastern Europe also represents a major
milestone for the payment processing and prepaid solutions expert. At
the beginning of next year, "Amazon Top Up in Store" will also be
available and administered in both Eastern European countries by
epay's proprietary cash register integration software. The Bavarian
company introduced this application to 800 different stores in
Germany's largest network of kiosks this year alone.
