Aschheim (Munich) (ots) -

- Centralized portal enables customers to get up and running with
the Wirecard digital platform more quickly
- New customers can experience the Wirecard technology in action
to optimize integration
- Initially designed for Wirecard's issuing solutions, the new
tools will be extended in future to include the full scope of
the company's digital financial technology and services

Aschheim (Munich). Wirecard, the global innovation leader for
digital financial technology, has unveiled its new API Management and
Developer Portal, designed to make it even quicker and easier for
customers to integrate the Wirecard digital platform into their
environments as well as enhance and expand their existing
installations. At the same time, the company is announcing an
environment for prospects where interested parties will be able to
test the functionality of the Wirecard platform in order to better
plan and execute implementation. This simplifies and accelerates the
process for companies towards fully digital solutions.

Susanne Steidl, CPO at Wirecard, said, "With our new Developer and
API Management Portal, we will make it easier for customers around
the world to get to know the full spectrum and deployment
possibilities of our digital financial ecosystem in order to ease
integration and significantly reduce launch cycles. The sooner they
can install and integrate the technology in their environments, the
sooner they can start benefitting from the functionality and the
sooner they can fully digitalize their operations."

The Wirecard API Management Portal is a comprehensive platform
designed to centralize all Wirecard APIs, improving and accelerating
the onboarding of customers and making it easier for them to connect
their systems to the Wirecard ecosystem. In addition, the portal
provides a "one-stop shop" for all relevant Wirecard documentation
including technical specifications, flow diagrams and detailed
installation and integration guides. Within the tool, developers can
also download templates making it simpler for them to use the
Wirecard APIs to adapt the solution to their specific environment and
changing needs. By centralizing and standardizing the APIs, Wirecard
also makes it easier for customers to scale their Wirecard solution
by adding new elements of the ecosystem from within the tool.

The Wirecard Developer Portal is specifically aimed at developers
within companies that do not yet work with Wirecard and enables them
to effectively plan their Wirecard deployments in a sandbox
environment. The portal provides a comprehensive set of Wirecard APIs
that can be downloaded, installed and tested within a protected
environment. Companies can determine in real-life scenarios how the
Wirecard solutions help them drive their digitalization strategies
and improve their own customer experience. For example, developers
will be able to use the portal to trial open banking applications in
support of future initiatives such as PSD2. The Developer Portal
contains key elements such as a self-service support hub,
documentation database and a product and implementation showroom,
which will demonstrate the full spectrum of the Wirecard ecosystem
for digital financial technology.

Both the Wirecard API Management and Developer Portal make use of
the OpenAPI Specification which is an industry standard for all
applications. By leveraging this standard, Wirecard enables customers
to accelerate the entire implementation process and reduce adaptation
times from weeks to mere minutes.

Get more information on the Wirecard API Management and Developer
Portal at the Paris Fintech Forum - Europe's largest Fintech event -
from 29th to 30th January in Paris. Among others, Susanne Steidl, CPO
at Wirecard, will discuss future innovations in the financial
industry.
