Enjoying services at the OTP

Q. How can I bookmark the course and retrieve the list?

You can find the  Bookmark to save course button located at the bottom left of the video screen.

Once you pressed and the video is marked with a green flag at the top right-hand corner. Afterwards, you can find the "Saved Course" tab under your profile to retrieve it.

You also remove those saved courses by clicking the green flag overlayed once.

The certificate of attendance is only available after you have completed the quiz. Both the certificate and receipt can be retrieved at each enrolled course webpage within the allowable watching period, and available at “View History” in your account pull-down menu.

Q. Why I could not make further payment using the same credit card?

Maximum 12 transactions within 24 hours are allowed.

You will have to use other cards, or wait until the time limit is over, for further payment.

Technical Issue with the Online Payment
Q. Why does my online payment fail?

Below are some common reasons why payments fail:

  • Your credit card reached the daily maximum transaction number or limit amount. You can ask your credit card service provider to increase when necessary.
  • Your card does not accept international transactions. If you're making payments from abroad, make sure your card accepts international charges.
  • Typing wrong the card details (Card number, expiration date, even One-Time Password code, etc.). Review the details on your credit card.

In other cases, it may relate to the ever-increasing fraud prevention and/or other security measures implemented by credit card service provider to protect the cardholder against card abuse.

We recommend using another credit card, or to try again at a later time. Should the transaction continue to fail you might want to get in touch with your credit card service provider.

 

The HKGBC has no control over such transaction refusal. Your credit card service provider would not disclose the reason for your failed transactions to HKGBC.

 

Q. Is it safe to settle the payment online on this platform?

PayDollar, our payment gateway is a fully compliant 3-D Secure solution, a merchant plug-in software that complies with Visa 3-D Secure Protocol and MasterCard SecureCode. PayDollar achieved PCIDSS compliant in meeting the international security standard. For more details of PayDollar, please visit here the webpage - https://www.paydollar.com/en/index.html

 

Q. What is a One-Time Password (“OTP”) Service?

OTP Service is a security feature provided by most credit card service providers. When you make an online transaction, you will receive a 6-digit OTP through a Short Message Service (SMS) to your registered mobile phone number or email address.

Simply enter the 6-digit OTP to authenticate your transaction.

 

Q: How can I do in case I could not watch the video even my credit card was charged?

Please contact HKGBC Secretariat for assistance.
