Holders of Registered Bond Certificates receive a certificate with a brief description of the terms printed on both sides. Interest payments are received automatically to the registered owner on the due date.

The certificate is held by a central securities depository, and the investor receives only a receipt as evidence of ownership instead of an engraved certificate. The bond will be held in the account at the financial institution.
