In 2007, Dietmar Knoechelmann and Ruediger Trautmann, who were Wirecard executives at the time, established the prepaid card provider Krores in Dublin, Ireland. In addition to their executive functions at Wirecard, both also took on the job of directors in the Krores Group. Conveniently, the Ireland office was located in the same building as Wirecard UK and Ireland Limited, Ulysses House. Krores was reportedly sold to a listed German bank sometime around 2010.
