“Our aim is to continue enabling the post office to be Bermudian’s provider of choice for both postal and non-postal services within our community
The platform was created with Swift Postal, a company that specialises in digital postal services company.
The new platform offers tracking systems and is linked to several payment platforms and Government offices.

“Our partnership underscores our commitment to increase the level of service in Bermuda and continue to be a leading force within our community.”
Richard Hazelwood, the Acting Postmaster General, said: “The launch of our new Customer portal and mobile payments, together with the implementation of several operational platforms powered by Swift Postal, is a testament to our commitment towards improving the customer’s experience.”
Steve Camilleri Bowman, the vice president of Swift Postal, said: “As an Ascent Company, Swift Postal is focused on creating continuous value, scale and repeated success for customers like Bermuda Post.
