Your browser bar turns green when you purchase an Extended Validation certificate. An EV certificate does not provide any extra transport-level security (that is, using a site with an EV is just as secure as using a site without an EV).

What an EV certificate DOES provide is extra peace of mind that you're not about to be ripped off scammers or phishers. We've recently gone through the EV process, and it's a lengthy process where they verify every single piece of identifiable information about your company against what's provided in your application and on your website.

Basically, it's provided simply for peace of mind. Unless you're running a very popular website, or a bank, I wouldn't waste your time or money on one.
