Notice their signature:<p><pre><code> boon. – a Wirecard brand Wirecard Card Solutions Limited boon. Service Postfach 31 05 44 04136 Leipzig Germany</code></pre>

Customers are always well prepared for both Online-Shopping and shopping in stores with their boon.App. So whatever there will be: Enjoy Paying!&quot;</i>
