Wirecard AG at the 2007 Games Convention:

Meet the Cube and Move your Money

Berlin/Munich/Leipzig August 2007: Wirecard AG will be present in multiple ways, when the Games Convention is held on August 22 for the fifth time. The provider of e-payment solutions will be showcasing its range of products at two stands at the fair aimed at both trade visits and game-playing consumers.

More and more customers are relying on Wirecard AG’s services to provide their customers with secure and convenient payment options for on-line role games (MMOGs), game downloading, distribution of console games or the transfer of money between consumers (P2P). No matter what the product is, everything is aimed at ensuring that the consumer is able to pay conveniently and securely.

And as if that were not already enough, the Wirecard Communications division operates its own call center manned by qualified experts able to provide users with advice and support. They not only answer questions concerning activation codes and installations but also help with useful tips and tricks. This range of services is backed up by e-mail support and chat forums.

Wirecard AG now also with a stand in the consumer section of the Games Convention for the first time.

Anyone entering the glowing red cube, which forms the core of the fair presentation, can play!  Until now, players without a credit card have unfortunately all too often found that the game is over before it has even commenced. However, Wirecard is rewriting the rules. The Internet payment service is based on a virtual prepaid MasterCard issued by Wirecard Bank AG and available with a credit balance function for consumers who have previously not been eligible for credit cards.

“The Games Convention is one of the most important trade fairs in Europe for us. Numerous exhibitors have been benefiting for years from our call center and payment services and we are now also offering consumers new solutions. By registering at mywirecard.com, they are able to enter the world of online gaming swiftly and free of any complications. In this way, they don't need a conventional credit card for paid downloads or for buying console games on the Internet," explains Heiko Strauss, Head of Media Sales at Wirecard AG.

“Meet the cube” is the motto under which all game fans can benefit from a new dimension in payments. Simply play with Wirecard: Move your money!
