Changes to PrePay and Purchase Power, effective 2025

Frequently Asked Questions about the planned changes to PrePay and Purchase Power.
What is changing?

Purchase Power (which allows for payments after use) will be replaced with our new Pay As You Go option. Our existing PrePay option will see improvements which have been driven by client feedback.

How will this affect me?

If you switch from Purchase Power to Pay As You Go, payment will now be collected by Direct Debit each time you print shipping labels or add funds to your franking meter. You will receive an itemised invoice against each Direct Debit payment. 

If you are switching from Purchase Power or an existing PrePay account to the new PrePay system, an invoice  will now be generated each time payment is needed to replenish your Agreed PrePay Balance.

I have more than one meter on my account, will this change?

No, Clients can continue to have multiple meters against one Postage account. All meters associated to the existing account will be moved across automatically.
