Wirecard, the global innovation leader for digital financial technology, today
announced that it is helping German financial services giant SIGNAL IDUNA extend
its online and mobile services with new payment methods. Consumers will be able
to take out and pay for insurance online. Wirecard processes the payments as
well the payouts in the case of successful claims. The company - that provides
insurance policies for health, travel, household and more - also famously
sponsors the Borussia Dortmund football stadium, the largest in Germany.

Founded over a hundred years ago and like many organizations in the financial
services arena, SIGNAL IDUNA is currently going through a digital
transformation. Digitalization is transforming the insurance market. The lines
between channels are blurring and competition is intensifying all over the
world. To avoid being left behind, savvy insurers are needing to create a
seamless personalized experience for policy holders across all their channels.
Wirecard offers everything insurers need to enable secure payment processing and
an optimal checkout experience. Besides being quick and easy to integrate into
existing systems, Wirecard's solutions can help insurers systematically boost
customer loyalty.

Through working with Wirecard, SIGNAL IDUNA has been able to integrate new
payment methods seamlessly into an intuitive interface where customers can
access its various solutions 24/7.

SIGNAL IDUNA offers powerful insurance and financial products as well as
exclusive offerings for private and corporate clients, which are available
online. In addition, the company has its own tailor-made app, which is available
both in the App Store and in Google Play, so that customers can undertake all
their insurance needs on the move.

"We want to provide a quick and targeted service to our customers. The
cooperation with Wirecard is a further step in adapting to increasing
digitalization and meeting the needs of the digital lifestyle. Thanks to an
intuitive payment page based on the Wirecard platform, we can minimize friction
and ensure an optimal experience for our customers," explained Arne Boysen, Head
of the Collections Department and Project Manager for the "alternative payment
options" project at SIGNAL IDUNA. "The wide range of payment methods as well as
the uncomplicated and fast integration were determining factors in choosing to
work with Wirecard. Moreover, Wirecard meets our extremely high security
requirements."

"Wirecard is ideally placed to assist organizations such as SIGNAL IDUNA with
their digital transformation to ensure they can differentiate themselves in a
rapidly morphing marketplace," added Christian Reindl, EVP Retail & Consumer
