Hongkong Post Bank-Cert (Corporate) certificates are issued to organisations that hold a valid business registration certificate issued by the Government of the Hong Kong SAR and statutory bodies of Hong Kong whose existence is recognized by the laws of Hong Kong (a "Subscriber Organisation"); and identifies a Subscriber Organisation's member or employee (an "Authorised Users") who has been duly authorised to use that Bank-Cert (Corporate) certificate. The Subscriber Organisations are customers of the banks acting as Registration Authority ("RA"). These certificates may be used to perform Internet banking services and other commercial operations. Applicants have to contact the RA directly for Bank-Cert application. However, for revocation request, Subscriber can contact Hongkong Post CA directly or the RA identified in the certificate within the business hours of the RA as stated in the Bank-Cert Certification Practice Statement (Bank-Cert CPS).
