Since the middle of July, the service of payment of Telefónica bills, other than by direct debit, without having to have the bill has been available in the network of over 2000 computerised branches of CORREOS throughout Spain. As a result of this agreement with Telefónica – one of the world’s leading telecommunications companies, which provides services in 19 countries and is present in more than 40 in total – the customers of CORREOS who wish to use this service can pay their bills at the post office without having to present the actual paper copy of the bill. The customer only needs to have their national identity card, passport or residency card, and to know their client number and the amount due.

This bill paying service provided by CORREOS has advantages for customers, such as the ease of always having a post office nearby, thanks to their extensive the branch network, and the long opening hours, from 8:30 to 14:30 in those branches only open to the public in the morning, and continuously from 8:30 to 20:30 in those branches that stay open all day. Those branches located in shopping centres provide this service during the same opening hours as the shopping centre, including public holidays.

Expansion has reported that “Spanish postal service operator Correos is aiming to expand internationally, with particular emphasis on Latin America in its business strategy. While Correos hopes to improve its competitiveness, it recognises the impossibility of competing with the main international postal operators, such as UPS, Fedex and Deutsche Post. It has therefore decided to focus on the Asian and Latin American markets.”
