Good news! Postage rates decreased in April

By Steve Wolff, Billing Operations Supervisor

The U.S. Postal Service decreased its postage rates last month. Effective April 10th, the following rates took effect:

The majority of statements mailed from MACC fall into the automated one or two ounce categories. If you have any questions regarding the new postage rates, I can be contacted at 402-533-5249 or [email protected].

Want to reduce your postage rates even more? MACC can help.
If you’re looking for ways to further reduce your company’s postage expense, MACC offers two alternatives to mailed statements. First, we have eBill which provides your customers with complete online access to their account. Statements can be sent to enrolled customers via e-mail to reduce the number of mailed statements and payments can be made using several electronic options. If your company already has eBill, make sure you’re promoting the service’s use. The benefits of eBill are only limited by the number of customers using it. MACC offers a variety of bill inserts and other advertising efforts to promote the use of eBill. For details, contact MACC’s Creative Services Team. Your Software Support Representative can answer any other eBill related questions.

A second option, which is included at no extra charge within Customer Master, is the ability to e-mail statements to customers directly from the program. To use this feature only requires a customer’s e-mail address and permission to send statements via e-mail. For assistance utilizing the bill via e-mail feature, contact your MACC Software Support Representative.
