BFPO postcode solution improves access to online services for those based overseas
Members of the Armed Forces stationed overseas will enjoy the same access to online goods and services as they do at home in the UK thanks to the introduction of new online postcodes this month.
The MOD, British Forces Post Office (BFPO) and Royal Mail have worked together to introduce UK-style postcodes for the 100,000 personnel and their families serving in places such as Germany, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands. The new online postcodes will help everyone serving overseas, including those aboard Her Majesty's ships and submarines, and their families, by improving access to products and services on the internet, as proposed in the Armed Forces Covenant. It will also help personnel maintain a UK credit history recognised by financial service providers.
