Booming Christmas Business Blesses ClickandBuy with Record Sales

London / Cologne / Zug (CH), 17 December 2008. Father Christmas is
already setting the cash register ringing at ClickandBuy. Thanks also
to the excellent Christmas trade, which is far in excess of
expectations, ClickandBuy is set to record its highest yet
transaction volume (on a quarterly basis) in its corporate history:
online shopping via ClickandBuy - for example at Redcoon, Home of
Hardware, EuroFlorist, and Tailor Store - reached a three-digit
million-euro figure.

ClickandBuy, one of the leading internet payment services, is hence
very much in line with the annual trend, for meanwhile 51% (previous
year: 48%) of mail orders are transacted online, according to the
consumer survey conducted by TNS Infratest ("Distanzhandel in
Deutschland 2008" / Distance Selling in Germany 2008).

Booming growth continues unhindered: ClickandBuy expects to welcome
the 4000th retail dealer into its full-service payment system before
the end of 2008. More than 14,000 dealers worldwide and a community
of over 12 million online shoppers place their trust in ClickandBuy,
the service which once again won full marks in the categories
security and ease-of-use in CHIP magazine. "In 2009, ClickandBuy
intends to introduce new and even more attractive offers and retail
dealer services", says Marcus Greven, Sales Director for Germany,
Austria and Switzerland. "This will give ClickandBuy's retail segment
a distinct boost, doubling the number of retail traders using our
services", adds Greven.
