ESDlife
creates a dynamic, 'one-stop shop' environment where users may,
at any time, gain access to customised and general information and
perform daily transactions on the Internet. The on-line services
allow Hong Kong residents to utilise electronic public services
provided by different government departments and public agencies
at no additional cost.
ESDlife also enables businesses to conduct secure electronic
transactions, thereby allowing consumers to enjoy both commercial
and public services conveniently via personal computers, Internet
appliances and public kiosks soon to be installed in high-traffic
locations throughout the territory. In addition to e-commerce, the
Web site is also designed with e-communities in mind. Content pages
on lifestyle are targeted for people of all ages and interests who
are at different stages in life. Interactive activities and forums
provide a platform where people from all corners of the globe can
communicate without boundaries. 

Secure electronic
payments contribute much to the heart of the ESD
Scheme. By employing the latest SET and SSL transaction security
technology, ESDlifewill maintain
at all times the strictest level of confidentiality, integrity,
availability and responsibility, thus ensuring personal information
privacy and security in every transaction.
Among the various types of payment vehicles available, ESDlife
accepts credit cards including VISA, MasterCard and Diners Club
Card; while debit cards such as JETCO and EPSCO are also welcomed.
