With nearly 300,000 users, the Finnish Itella NetPosti service is now available on iPhone and Android phones, as well as tablet devices, such as the Apple iPad, through a freely downloadable application. Customers in Finland can read e-letters via NetPosti such as invoices, payslips or customer and membership messages, or access letters in an archive folder using a mobile phone. In addition, it is possible for customers to monitor the progress of packages ordered or sent through the NetPosti application.

According to Pasi Ketonen, Business Development Director of NetPosti services, access to postal services whilst on the move offers many advantages over existing access via a desktop computer or laptop and the new service will provide instant access via mobile phones and tablet devices, regardless of the time or place.

The application can be downloaded and registered using a four-digit PIN code which ensures that customers' NetPosti accounts cannot be accessed by unauthorized users. The service delivers a message indicating the arrival of new e-letters.

"I believe that users of iPhone and Android phones or tablet devices will find it easy to check their payslips or invoice balance wherever they are. In the NetPosti archive, letters are stored free of charge for seven years. Therefore, users can find old information faster than by going through all of their cupboards at home" said Ketonen.
