Services, including eBilling, Freepost, Prepaid Postage, PO Boxes, international and Business
Reply Services.

and now pay by...

Direct Debit
With a monthly direct debit you can spread the cost of delivery evenly throughout the year,
avoiding large invoices. Direct Debit will also enable you to factor monthly charges into your
budget more easily.

eBilling
By opening a credit account with us your business will benefit by switching to our eBilling
Service. This simple, free service enables you to submit all of your postal payments online
without the need to use and maintain a franking machine. Not only does this remove the
often high costs associated with franking machines, but it will enable you to access a whole
host of additional benefits including saving your business 2p per item on standard postal
rates, and volume based discounts for Special Delivery. Other benefits are also detailed
within this leaflet.
