Features of Postal

AI-Powered Virtual Mailbox

This is the transformative core of Postal. Your physical mail is received at a real street address, securely scanned, and uploaded to your digital dashboard. Here, powerful AI goes to work, providing instant summaries of each item, automatically flagging important or urgent mail, and extracting critical information like due dates. You can view, download, forward, or shred any piece of mail with a single click, managing your postal correspondence with the same ease as email, from any location on the globe.

Compliance & Registered Agent Services

Postal goes beyond mail handling to actively safeguard your business. You can utilize their address as your official Registered Agent service. Furthermore, their dedicated compliance team can take action on your behalf. Simply tag them on compliance-related mail in your dashboard, and their experts will handle filings, government correspondence, and tasks related to corporate licensing or insurance compliance, ensuring you never miss a critical deadline.

Electronic Check Deposit

Postal streamlines your cash flow by digitizing check processing. When paper checks arrive at your Postal address, the system scans them and notifies you. You can then seamlessly request a deposit directly through your online dashboard. Postal partners with your bank to process these deposits electronically via secure lockbox or remote deposit capture (RDC) technology, accelerating your receivables without manual handling.

Enterprise-Grade Security & Infrastructure

Security is paramount, and Postal is engineered for it. Their service is built to meet rigorous SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance standards, ensuring the highest level of data protection for sensitive business and client information (PII/PHI). Your mail is processed in secure, on-site facilities, providing a compliant and trustworthy solution for industries with strict privacy and regulatory requirements.

Use Cases of Postal

Startups & Remote Companies

For startups and fully remote teams, Postal provides a legitimate and professional business foundation. It eliminates the stigma of a home address, establishes a credible presence for government and vendor communications, and enables founders and distributed teams to access and manage all company mail from anywhere, ensuring operational continuity and a professional image from day one.

International Businesses Expanding to the U.S.

Postal is a critical launchpad for international companies entering the U.S. market. It provides a quick, secure, and efficient way to establish a U.S. business address required for entity formation, banking, tax (IRS) registration, and vendor relationships. The AI mailroom ensures no important document is lost in translation or delayed by geography, enabling smooth cross-border operations.

Accounting and Law Firms

Professional service firms like accounting practices and law offices handle highly sensitive client documents and face strict compliance deadlines. Postal offers a secure, HIPAA-compliant channel for receiving client mail. The AI's ability to flag urgent correspondence and extract deadlines helps firms proactively manage client relationships and compliance issues, strengthening trust and service reliability.

Property Management and Multi-Entity Operations

Businesses managing multiple LLCs or property portfolios can consolidate all mail to a single, secure Postal address. This simplifies logistics, provides a clear audit trail for each entity, and enhances organization. The integrated electronic check deposit feature is particularly transformative for property managers, allowing tenant rent checks to be processed and deposited digitally without physical collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a virtual mailbox?

A virtual mailbox is a service that provides you with a permanent physical street address. Instead of mail going to your home or office, it is sent to this secure facility. Postal receives your mail, securely scans the exterior (and contents upon your request), and uploads digital copies to your private online dashboard. This allows you to view, manage, forward, or shred your mail from anywhere in the world, turning physical postal management into a streamlined digital workflow.

How does Postal handle check deposits?

When a paper check is received at your Postal address, it is securely scanned into your digital mailbox. You will receive a notification, and within your dashboard, you can review the scanned check and request a deposit. Postal then works directly with your banking partner to process the deposit electronically, typically through a lockbox service or remote deposit capture (RDC), speeding up the funds availability and eliminating the need for you to physically visit a bank.

What does Postal’s AI actually do?

Postal's AI transforms passive mail scanning into an active management system. It automatically reads and analyzes the content of your scanned mail. The AI generates concise summaries so you can grasp the content at a glance, identifies and flags important or time-sensitive items (like legal notices or bills), and extracts key data such as due dates or amounts owed. Advanced features even allow you to "chat" with your mail documents to ask questions and get answers with citations.

Is Postal secure and compliant for sensitive information?

Absolutely. Postal is designed with security as a foundational principle. Their systems and processes are built to comply with SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA standards, which are rigorous frameworks for data security and privacy. This means both your business data and any protected client health information (PHI) are handled with the utmost security in their dedicated, secure processing facilities, making it a trusted solution for regulated industries.
