QES

What is a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)?

This is a digital certificate issued by licensed certification service providers (https://crc.bg/bg/rubriki/560/elektronni-udostoveritelni-uslugi), as of the Electronic Document and Electronic Certification Services Act.

In certain cases, to perform a transfer, it is necessary to enter an additional one-time password to confirm the transfer, which you receive via SMS or by automatically calling the mobile number specified by you.

* Transactions with third parties in the m-Postbank mobile banking can only be confirmed with the m-Token Postbank software token. To perform operations with third parties in e-Postbank it is possible to use one of the listed means.

Eurobank Bulgaria recommends paying attention to the following security tips when working with a qualified electronic signature, which will provide you with the necessary level of protection:

  • A qualified electronic signature (QES) is equivalent to a handwritten signature on a paper document, so please keep your QES as you keep your personal documents;
  • Insert the smart card into the reader or USB key into the computer only at the time of signing the transactions and then immediately remove it from the computer;
  • Leaving the signature inserted in the computer creates a condition for malicious use and potential abuse with negative consequences for the author of the signature; Immediately notify the issuer of the electronic signature and the bank, in case of suspicion of its misuse.
  • The successful registration of QES in e-Postbank.bg cancels the digital certificate used so far. We recommend that you delete it from your web browser, as the bank will not accept payments signed with it.
  • Upon renewal or replacement of a certificate, all signed but unprocessed payment orders (with a future execution date or with the status "Pending execution") will be rejected. They need to be ordered and re-signed.
