What is EPS? 

The Enterprise Payment System (EPS) allows customers to pay for Postal products and services through a single account, called the Enterprise Payment Account (EPA). The benefits of EPS include:

  • Pay and manage services online using a single account
  • Enhanced security features, centralized balance and account management
  • Fund as ACH Debit or Trust Account
  • Self-service customer experience
  • No manual application forms submitted to CAPS Service Center
  • Intuitive and interactive mailing reports

Funding permits has become much more convenient with EPS:

  • If funding a permit through cash, check, or money order at a RSS you no longer have to go to the assigned Post Office, you can go to any Post Office.

Now you can electronically fund permits through:

  • Electronic Funds Transfer
  • Mobile Check Deposit
  • ACH Debit
