Using the Pitney Bowes Reserve Account for Postage Funding

UPDATED: April 15, 2018

Use the Reserve Account to prepay for postage, which you can easily add to your meter. 

The Reserve Account (FDIC Insured) is a prepaid deposit account to pay for postage for your meter, permit, and mailhouse. Funds are held in an FDIC-insured account at The Pitney Bowes Bank, Inc., and earn interest in the form of postage credits based on the average daily balance.

How to add funds into your Reserve Account:

• Mail your check with the Reserve Account Deposit Coupon.
   TIP: See how to send a payment or deposit.
• Use our Scheduled Pay option to arrange electronic deposits at set intervals (monthly, weekly, semi-monthly), or when the balance reaches a minimum threshold you define.  Set up recurring Reserve Account deposits.
• Add funds directly into your account with ACH & Fed Wire Reserve Account Deposits.

How to activate a Reserve Account:

1. Print the Tax Payer Identification Form. Once completed and signed, fax the form to us: 1-203-546-2277.
