GRASBRUNN, Germany and MUNICH, September 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Online shopping without limits is possible with immediate effect at olsenfashion.com. This international platform was established by next commerce GmbH. Simple, convenient and secure payment is guaranteed by the solutions from Wirecard AG. The necessary credit card acceptance agreements have been entered into with the company's subsidiary, Wirecard Bank AG.

Being an exclusive partner to next commerce in the field of payments, now Wirecard AG no longer takes care only of olsenfashion.com in Germany, but also of the shops in Austria, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Finland and Sweden. Moreover, in the Olsen Shop UK, acceptance of the MasterCard debit card Maestro has been integrated as an additional payment solution.

The company next commerce - a subsidiary of the leading interactive agency SinnerSchrader - has already been responsible for the online shops of Olsen GmbH Co. KG for almost one year now. As Olsen's German online shop was established within an extremely short period of time, the international launch was brought forward by one year.

We plan to give Olsen customers their perfect shopping experience. This also extends to include seamless processes in the field of payment processing and settlement. In this way, the expertise and flexibility of Wirecard AG pay off particularly in the context of the internationalization of our shop, says Moritz Koch, Managing Director of next commerce GmbH.

Wirecard AG specializes in individually tailored services for the entire process chain in the retail sector. By means of fully integrated solutions comprising payment processing, risk management and banking services, Wirecard AG achieves decisive competitive advantages for its customers from the consumer goods industry.

As partners for payment processing and settlement, our strengths lie in equally efficient and transparent services: customers benefit thanks to solutions from a single source. An integrated reporting system ensures seamless tracing and booking of payments.

The company next commerce GmbH and Wirecard AG have been cooperating for roughly one year now. The objective of the partnership is to always provide customers with optimum services. Online merchants benefit from the tried and trusted payment solutions from Wirecard AG. The company-owned Wirecard Bank makes an extensive package of banking services available, including credit card acceptance agreements and international currency management for cross-border sales.
