What are the benefits from eRights?
- A one-stop solution for application and payment for the Rights Securities.
- You no longer have to post the Rights Subscription Form or hand-deliver it to the listed issuer/share registrar. The details of your subscription of the Rights Securities are forwarded electronically to the listed issuer/share registrar.
- You no longer have to go to the bank to purchase a bank draft or the post office to buy the revenue stamp. The subscription payment and revenue stamp duty are paid directly to the listed issuer/share registrar via debiting your bank account.
- No risk of your application for the Rights Securities being lost in the post or delayed due in postal service or other delivery services.
- Should there be a refund arising from an excess shares application, the refund monies will be credited directly into the same bank account that you had used to apply for the excess shares. Therefore, the issue of late receipt of refund cheques or refund cheques being lost in the post is a thing in the past.

All you need is a valid automated teller machine (ATM) card from the participating banks to enable you to apply / subscribe for Rights Securities via the ATM or a valid user ID and password if you apply / subscribe the Rights Securities via internet banking.
