Frequently Asked Questions

What is a virtual mailbox?

A virtual mailbox is a service that provides you with a real, physical street address. When mail arrives at that address, the service (like Postal) securely scans the exterior and interior contents and uploads them to your private online dashboard. You then get to decide, with a click, whether to have the physical piece forwarded, shredded, or archived. It's mail management, fully digitized and optimized for the modern business.

How does Postal handle check deposits?

When a check arrives in your Postal mailbox, we scan it and notify you immediately. Through your dashboard, you can request an electronic deposit. Postal then works directly with your banking partner to process that deposit via secure methods like lockbox services or remote deposit capture (RDC). It's fast, secure, and gets funds into your account without you ever needing to visit a bank.

What does Postal’s AI actually do?

Postal's AI is your smart mailroom clerk. It doesn't just create PDFs; it reads and understands your mail. It generates concise summaries of long documents, automatically flags mail that requires urgent attention (like legal notices or bills), and extracts key data points like due dates, amounts due, and account numbers. It can even answer your questions about the content of a letter through a chat interface, transforming passive mail into actionable intelligence.

Is my mail secure with Postal?

Absolutely. Security isn't an add-on; it's our foundation. We are built to meet SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance standards. Your mail is processed in our own secure, access-controlled facilities—not some random third-party location. We employ strict data protection protocols to safeguard all personal and business information, giving you peace of mind that your sensitive documents are in a digital fortress.
