The portfolio of the Wirecard Group now includes another prominent e-Commerce company, FLYERALARM, the leading B2B online printer in Europe. The payment processor will be handling all global credit card acceptance of Visa and MasterCard payments from now on. A further expansion of the collaboration is also planned.

Our unique selling point is the combination of software and banking services, which means we can offer FLYERALARM a comprehensive portfolio from a single source.
