Enterprise Payment System (EPS)
is now live for Postal customers. EPS Supports commercial, domestic and
international products and services including First-Class Mail®, USPS Marketing
Mail™, Periodicals postage statements submitted via mail.dat, mail.xml, Postal
Wizard, IMsb, or Hardcopy.
In the coming weeks, eligible
CAPS and Local Trust Permit customers will receive a letter notifying them the
system will be retired effective April 1, 2019.
CAPS Customers
CAPS customers pay for mailings
and shipments using a centralized account through either a prefunded option or
an ACH debit option, which allows the USPS to withdraw payment directly from
their bank account.
Effective
April 1, 2019: All
eligible CAPS accounts must migrate to EPS -- customers are encouraged to
migrate sooner. Note: Package products paid through eVS are not affected by
these dates. Customers may continue to use/open CAPS accounts for these
products until further notice.
Local Trust
Permit Customers
Local Trust
permit customers prefund their account by depositing a check, cash or money
order at the location where the permit was opened. These customers are not
mandated to migrate; however, the USPS encourages customers to take advantage
of the benefits of the new system, which includes mobile check deposit, online
account management, enhanced reporting, and streamlined accounting processes.
