LONDON, May 20, 2011 - Orange and Barclaycard today launch ‘Quick Tap’, the UK’s first contactless
mobile payment service which allows consumers to make purchases on the high street using their mobile
phone for the very first time. The landmark launch means that from today, in addition to using contactless
cards or chip and PIN, consumers can simply tap their mobile phone on a contactless reader at tills in over
50,000 stores to make purchases £15 and under.

This entirely new, secure and convenient way to make payments is an evolution of how people pay and
follows previous payment milestones such as the move from cheques to cards. Mobile payments will be
accepted at stores nationwide including Pret a Manger, EAT., Little Chef, Wembley Arena, Subway,
Wilkinson and McDonalds where contactless payments are currently accepted.

The service will be available to Orange customers who use a ‘Quick Tap’ enabled handset. Launching
with a Quick Tap enabled version of one of Orange’s best-selling devices, the Samsung Tocco Lite, the
Samsung Tocco Quick Tap will be available on pay as you go and pay monthly price plans, with more
handsets expected to follow from a selection of leading manufacturers. Barclaycard, Barclays debit or
Orange Credit Card users can transfer funds of up to £100 simply and securely onto the handset’s Quick
Tap app, after which the phone is ready to make payments of £15 and under in a single transaction.

The user friendly payment app, which sits on the home screen of all Quick Tap compatible handsets,
contains information such as electronic statements detailing Quick Tap purchases so customers can keep
an eye on their spending and manage finances easily on the go. To support the launch, Barclaycard is
providing Orange customers with £10 cash added to their account upon activation, and 10% cash back on
all Quick Tap purchases made in the first three months.

Commenting on the announcement, David Chan, CEO of Barclaycard Consumer Europe, said: “This is
the first time that customers can use their mobile to pay for goods and services in shops across the UK

rather than using cards or cash. They’ll be able to do this, safe in the knowledge that this is a secure
technology brought to them by the biggest names in payments and mobile technology.

“Having a wallet on my phone has made it much more convenient to make purchases on the move and I
like that it allows me to keep track of what I’m spending as I go. Barclaycard launched credit cards in the
UK over 40 years ago and have been leading the evolution of payments ever since.”

Pippa Dunn, Orange Vice President, said: "We no longer use our mobile phones simply for talking and
texting - apps, cameras and music players allow us to use them for a lot more. So, making contactless
payments with your mobile is a natural and really exciting innovation which we're pleased to be leading
on in the UK.

Orange Quick Tap is the first of its kind, a service that allows you to pay for everyday items just by
tapping your phone wherever you see the contactless payment symbol. It’s going to start a revolution in
the way we pay for things on the high street."

The launch will be supported by a marketing campaign that will promote the benefits of Quick Tap
through a range of marketing channels. The fun and bold creative campaign will emphasise how Quick
Tap represents a radical new way for people to pay for items using just their mobile, driving consumers to
start a “new movement” with contactless payments.

Orange and Barclaycard announced their innovative partnership to bring contactless mobile payments to
market in 2009, and believe this will be the biggest revolution in payments since credit cards were
introduced in the UK by Barclaycard over 40 years ago. The new devices use innovative NFC technology,
enabling consumers to make payments in a simple and secure way, and it builds on existing contactless
payment technology with 12.9 million contactless credit and debit cards already in circulation, of which
over 11.4m have been issued by Barclaycard and Barclays who have been pioneers in bringing it to
market since 2007.

Mobile Contactless Payments from Orange and Barclaycard have been developed and rigorously tested to
ensure customers’ transactions and personal data will be protected and secure, with users having the
option to enter a PIN on their handset before each transaction providing an additional layer of security.
The launch proposition will use a secure SIM-based approach to mobile payments, providing a single
point of contact for customer care as well as ensuring enhanced payment security for customers.

MasterCard will provide the payment capability for the contactless mobile transactions. Contactless
transactions on mobile phones benefit from the same 100% fraud guarantee as standard Barclays and
Barclaycard transactions nationwide. Since contactless mobile payments are processed online, if a
customer cancels their phone because it is lost, damaged or stolen, no transactions can be completed.
