Bank makes its initial revenue with the help of a specific post
The United States Postal Service (USPS) continues to focus on its Delivering for America 10-year plan, initiated under the previous Postmaster General, with the aim of transforming and modernizing operations to enhance competitiveness and boost revenues through pricing and product strategies.
Despite recent financial challenges, including a net loss of $3.1 billion in fiscal Q3 2025 and declining mail volume affecting revenue, the current Postmaster General, David Steiner, supports the continuation of this plan. However, the search results do not reveal any new initiatives related to a mobile phone brand or the payment solution Postpay as additional revenue streams.
The USPS has been grappling with ongoing financial difficulties, with strategies focusing on competitiveness and cost management. Some initiatives, such as facility closures, have faced criticism.
In a positive note, The Post (Austria's postal service) is seeing success in its expansion into telecommunications. A1 will act as the network partner for The Post's virtual mobile operator, set to launch in April 2026. Moreover, The Post's parcel business increased revenue by 1.5 percent despite the challenging economic environment, with the Sunday delivery of parcels in Linz and Graz being well received in Austria.
However, The Post's earnings in the parcel business fell by more than 30 percent to over 32 million euros, largely due to the reduced profitability of the Turkish subsidiary Aras. Meanwhile, the brand name for The Post's mobile phone brand will be announced in the fall.
In a separate development, Postpay, a new payment solution for online retail, was tested with 250 retailers on The Post's online marketplace Shopping. Postpay essentially revives the concept of "cash on delivery," set to be generally available for use from September.
Despite the lack of new initiatives by USPS regarding a mobile phone brand or Postpay, the current public strategy remains focused on logistics modernization, pricing, and product strategies within traditional postal and package services.
- The USPS, facing financial challenges, could explore potential collaborations with technology companies, such as partnering with other businesses to launch a mobile phone brand as an additional revenue stream.
- While The Post's mobile phone brand name will be announced in the fall, USPS may take inspiration from The Post's expansion into telecommunications and explore possibilities in financing and business models for their technology-related ventures.
