ID Data Group plc (AIM: IDD), the smart card and card solutions group, today
announces that it has won a significant contract to supply bank and co-branded
cards to one of the world's leading financial services companies.

The contract encompasses the manufacture, personalisation and fulfilment of
smart bank cards for the UK market and the annual spend is expected to exceed
£1million.

The initial three year contract is expected to lead to further business as ID
Data proves its skills and capabilities to the client. These include the
Company's leading touch and go payment technology along side its traditional
technology which is used for chip and pin transactions.

Commenting on the contract, Peter Cox CEO said: "This is a major win for ID Data
in the financial services sector and together with the other major brands we are
now servicing, should demonstrate to the investment community and other issuers
of bank cards in Europe, that ID Data has a range of technology and services to
match any of our global competitors.

Our company has completed a major transition to strengthen its offering to the
financial sector and the Company now has the skills and capabilities to deliver
flexible, world class solutions that will meet the demands of our clients for
both high quality, and improved and proactive services."
