Wirecard expands cooperation with Asia's leading communications group Singtel to enable mobile payments with Apple Pay and Singtel's Dash App

Aschheim, Munich (ots) - Wirecard, the global innovation leader
in digital financial technology, has deepened its partnership with
Dash from Singtel, the leading Asian telecommunications group. From
now on, Dash's customers can make payments using Apple Pay at
millions of participating on- and offline merchants worldwide.

Brigitte Haeuser-Axtner, Executive Vice President, Sales Asia,
Digital & Telecommunications at Wirecard, said, "As leaders in
digital financial technology, we are proud to work with Singtel to
bring Dash to an even larger group of potential customers with Apple
controlling almost half of Singapore's mobile OS market. Together we
look forward to connecting even more consumers with merchants around
the globe. Asia continues to be the leader of the digital payments
revolution worldwide, and we are excited to be at the forefront of
these innovations."

"With the increasing popularity of mobile and online payments,
Dash enables easy, secure and seamless payment options between our
partner merchants and our more than half a million Dash customers on
the platform of their choice," said Gilbert Chuah, Head of mCommerce
at Singtel. "Our expanded partnership with Wirecard to bring Dash to
Apple Pay reflects our commitment to enhance the digital payment
experience for both merchants and customers."

Singtel Dash is Singapore's only all-in-one digital wallet which
provides a safe and secure mobile payments solution for shopping,
commuting, and remitting money. Dash's Visa Virtual Account is the
first of its kind in Singapore and was introduced in 2017.

The inclusion of Dash into Apple Pay complements the increasing
popularity of online shopping in Singapore. Wirecard's 2018
International Holiday Shopping Report found that 67% of Singaporeans
surveyed prefer shopping online, either via desktop or mobile, while
20% prefer shopping in-store. The ability to use mobile payments
in-store is also a welcome innovation with 51% of respondents saying
it improves their shopping experience.
