The use
of EV SSL certification works with high security Web browsers to clearly
identify whether the site belongs to
the
company or is another site imitating that company's site.
It has been introduced to protect our clients against phishing and other online fraudulent activities. Since most Internet related
crimes rely on false identity, HSBC went
through a rigorous validation process that meets the Extended Validation
guidelines.
Please update your account to the new EV
SSL certification by clicking on the link below.
