OSLO, NORWAY AND HELSINKI, FINLAND - 08 OCTOBER 2020 - Biometric fintech Zwipe
and TietoEVRY, the leading provider of software and digital banking services in
the Nordics, have agreed to jointly roll-out biometric payment solutions based
on the Zwipe Pay ONE platform.

With the recent surge in demand for safer and more secure payments, TietoEVRY is
embracing biometric payment innovations that enable more hygienic, secure and
convenient payments for consumers.

"We are excited to roll-out the Zwipe Pay ONE platform in close collaboration
with Zwipe, a pioneer and innovator in biometric payments. We selected Zwipe as
the most interesting partner for mass market deployment. Together, we will
support banks to roll-out biometric payment cards and wearables at scale. From
recent discussions with issuers, we already see broad interest for such
innovations. Clearly, now is the time to take action," says Jarmo Rouhiainen,
Head of TietoEVRY Card Production and Personalization Services.

As part of this commercial agreement, Zwipe will provide TietoEVRY with
technical support towards biometric payment card integration, enrollment
solutions, and a complete end-to-end advisory offering aimed at helping banks
successfully deploy biometric payment solutions. TietoEVRY will source their
Zwipe Pay ONE-based cards through their network of card manufacturers.

"Partnering with TietoEVRY is a significant milestone for Zwipe. TietoEVRY's
deep relations with a large number of banks in the Nordics, Baltics and beyond
will be a strategic complement to Zwipe's technology leadership, accelerating
the deployment of next generation contactless payments. Partnering closely with
one of Europe's strongest players in payment services, we are further showcasing
the value-add we deliver to the ecosystem," says André Løvestam, CEO of Zwipe.
