Wirecard AG
Wirecard AG is a Join Stock Company registered in Germany under HRB 169227 München, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is intermediate. Its registered address on file is Aschheim, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for Wirecard AG, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Directors and officers of Wirecard AG
Three of the 31 officer records shown for Wirecard AG are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Alexander von Knoop, Susanne Steidl and James H. Freis, Jr. all serve as Aufsichtsratsmitglied (board member). The remaining 26 records shown (Seth Brennan, Franz Josef Kleber and 23 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at Wirecard AG sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control. The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Data availability
The register reports 32 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 31 most relevant records are shown here.
Group Structure
Group structure of Wirecard AG
Wirecard AG has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 5 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 2 jurisdictions. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

- Wirecard Technologies GmbH (Germany)
- Wirecard Sales International Holding GmbH (Germany)
- Wirecard Acquiring & Issuing GmbH (Germany)
- Click2Pay GmbH (Germany)
Data availability
Those 5 subsidiaries span Germany, United Arab Emirates jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Three of the 5 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
