A. Centralized Account Processing System (CAPS)

CAPS is an electronic postage payment system that gives business mailers a centralized, convenient, and cost-effective way to fund items such as Permit Imprint, Express Mail Corporate Accounts, Address Element Correction, and more.

The system provides an electronic alternative to presenting checks and cash for postage and fees at multiple Post Offices. Customers can choose from two account types:

 Centralized trust account — Customers deposit funds using electronic funds transfer to the CAPS bank prior to mailing.

The CAPS account is automatically reduced when local Post Offices process postage statements.
 Centralized debit account —Customers designate a debit-enabled bank account for postage charges.

The bank account is debited for the total day’s postage on the next bank business day.
Use this form along with PS Form 6001 to apply for a CAPS trust account. If you are applying for a CAPS debit account, use this form along with PS Form 6001 and PS Form 6003, CAPS Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization Agreement.
