How ABC changes the post office

Article Abstract:

US Postal Service (USPS) successfully implemented a credit and debit card payment program in Apr 1995. The USPS first hired Coopers & Lybrand (C&L) to determine the feasibility of adopting such a program. C&L used activity-based costing to identify the costs associated with cash, check and credit/debit card processing activities and reported that the high costs of credit and debit card processing will be offset by increased transactions. The company then recommended a three-stage process for implementing a credit and debit card program which involved promoting the benefits of using credit and debit cards, marketing the program and then adopting credit/debit card processing technologies. The USPS has derived several benefits from the program including improved customer convenience and increased accuracy of card transactions.
