POST GIRO

What is it?

The Giro System enables our business customers to use the convenience of the postal service as an agent, to assist in the payout of items like salaries, insurance benefits, even pension benefits! Payments, from customers to business, may also be received through the Post Giro system!

How does it work?

Usually, payments are made and/or received directly through electronic funds transfer from one account to another. All parties must have established accounts in order to take advantage of this type of Giro. This is called the "Mature Giro" system.

TPC will be offering a slightly different and more flexible type of Giro, the Post-Giro, for which no account is needed! The post office becomes your agent for making or receiving payments--- or both! It's as easy as stopping in at your post office/Post Giro location, and providing the agent with the information and/or funds for your collection or your payment.

With the Post Giro System, our customers have the advantage of countrywide payment locations and convenient hours, reasonable rates, and quality assurance. Efficient, safe, reliable and fast, Post Giro is the best choice for business! For more information about the Post Giro System and the office nearest you, please telephone:
