What’s a CAPS debit account?
The Centralized Account Processing System (CAPS) is an electronic postage payment system offered by the USPS—and is required for co-mailing. In fact, the USPS is moving toward requiring electronic payment from all mailers in the future. Essentially, it’s like having a debit against your personal checking account for your mortgage payment each month. Once your CAPS debit account is set up, the exact amount of funds necessary for payment will be deducted from the bank account you’ve specified each time your mail is entered in Bolingbrook. Please note that a CAPS trust account does not meet QWL processing requirements. Most publishers find this a much more convenient system, since it eliminates the need to write a check and funds are not withdrawn from your account until the next business day after the mail has been accepted. There are no fees for setting up or maintaining a CAPS debit account. Our Mailing Services department can help you establish this account. Get more information about
