Effective immediately, the maximum deposit ticket order will be reduced from 400 to 200. This change has already been implemented in eBuy. Beginning January 30, 2009, the maximum order quantity will be increased once again, and offices may choose quantities of either 200 or 400.
To further support financial reporting requirements, only two-part deposit tickets will be used effective January 30, 2009. The two-part deposit tickets will be shipped in bound books with 50 tickets per book.
The Postal Service™ has completed a nationwide solicitation for field banking services that is designed to increase the quality and reduce the cost of banking and armored courier services.
A total of 45 districts will transition to new financial institutions and three (3) additional districts will transition to new accounts at their existing institutions. The target date for this transition is February 1, 2009. Detailed information on the transition timeline will be provided to the affected districts in the near future.
These 48 districts must begin using deposit tickets, endorsement stamps, and address stamps with their new account information on the transition date. Banking supplies for the new accounts will be shipped to the applicable Post Offices by their district finance office in January.
Following are the districts affected by this change:
The district Finance office will establish procedures for destruction of obsolete bank supplies. The Finance offices will disseminate these procedures in the near future.
