The Singapore office opening and website launch followed the recent launches of local websites in Australia, Canada, France, and the Netherlands.
 
GlobalSign’s Asia-Pacific customers include the Bank of Korea (BOK), China Minsheng Bank, EVA Airways, Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., Lenovo, Panasonic, and Samsung. Its Singapore customer base spans multiple verticals across both the public and private sectors, and includes HP, National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

The Singapore website offers direct online purchase of GlobalSign’s comprehensive range of SSL certificates quoted in local currency for encrypting and authenticating websites, logins, online transactions and e-mail, covering fast issuance of Domain Validation, traditional Organization Validation and Extended Validated (EV) SSL Certificates.
