The Postal Service has enhanced security measures for employees enrolling in, or updating information for, direct deposit of paychecks.
Beginning March 20, when employees enroll in or update banking information for direct deposit in PostalEASE, the system will initiate a $0 test transaction to verify the bank account.
This transaction is not a payment and does not withdraw funds. It is used solely for account verification.
If a bank account cannot be validated, the employee will receive a notification by email and through PostalEASE. Pay will continue by paper check until verification is completed.
This change does not affect employees who are already enrolled in direct deposit. Employees who are currently enrolled in direct deposit will only receive a $0 test transaction if they update their banking information.
Employees with questions can contact the Accounting help desk at 866-974-2733.
For assistance accessing PostalEASE, contact the Human Resources Shared Service Center at 877‑477‑3273.
