VeriSign Helps Germany's Postbank Customers See Secure Mobile Banking on Their iPhone

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Oct 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted provider of Internet
infrastructure services for the networked world, today announced that
Germany's leading multichannel bank, Postbank, is bringing trust and
reassurance to its iPhone-equipped mobile banking clients through
VeriSign(R) Extended Validation (EV) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Certificates.

Dedicated to providing customers with a safe and trusted online banking
experience, Postbank has protected its Web site with VeriSign EV SSL since
October of 2007. By extending that protection to its iBanking offering,
Postbank is making online banking safer than ever. This month, Postbank
began offering the same safeguards to iPhone users who access its iBanking
service via their Safari mobile browsers.

By equipping its acclaimed iBanking site with VeriSign EV SSL protection,
Postbank offers an instantly recognizable visual cue that tells customers
they have reached a site whose authenticity has been verified by VeriSign.
When Postbank customers reach the authentic iBanking site, their Safari
browser's address bar turns green, signaling they can conduct their
transactions with confidence and that all data transmitted to the site
will be encrypted.

The green address bar is valuable for mobile banking customers because
identity thieves use phishing schemes to lure banking customers to
look-alike Web pages designed to steal account numbers, passwords and
other sensitive information. Even the most convincing fraudulent pages,
however, cannot replicate the color of the browser's address bar.

For two years in a row, Postbank iBanking has topped CHIP magazine's
annual ranking of Germany's mobile banking services. In its 2009
evaluation, CHIP said Postbank has set a new standard for mobile banking
with its iPhone-optimized Web site.

"Postbank has offered mobile banking services to its iPhone-equipped
clients since Apple launched the iPhone in 2007," said Michael Heinen,
business unit manager of Direct Banking at Postbank. "With the launch of
the VeriSign EV SSL Certificates for iBanking on the iPhone, we're taking
a huge step forward in our efforts to build trust and reassurance for this
fast-growing segment of our customer base. Thanks to the clearly visible
green address bar that EV SSL enables, the Postbank homepage clearly
stands out from other Web sites. That means for more users, Postbank
iBanking provides a friendlier, safer experience."

"Increasingly, banking customers are accessing services via their mobile
phones and devices," said Tim Callan, vice president of product marketing
at VeriSign. "Postbank's decision to protect its iBanking customers with
VeriSign EV SSL is a strategic move that will continue to pay dividends
both for Postbank and its clients. In a marketplace where quality of
service determines winners and losers, innovators like Postbank are
leading the pack."

As the most respected and trusted SSL authority on the Web, VeriSign is
the EV SSL Certificate provider of choice for more than 12,000 online
businesses. In fact, more than 95 percent of the Fortune 500 and 97 of the
world's 100 largest SSL-using banks secure their sites with SSL
Certificates sold by VeriSign.* To learn more about VeriSign EV SSL, visit
