ePostcode is not only one of the most established postcode address management services in the UK, having launched our first web service in the summer of 2006, but we also promise to offer the best value.
Now that transactional postcode lookup services have become common place and some might say more of a commodity rather than an unique offering, we have introduced our 'always low price guarantee', to ensure that we remain the most cost effective address management service in the UK, both now and in the future. We want to ensure that once you've switched to ePostcode, there would be no reason to go anywhere else.
We do this to not only offer great value to our customers but also with the assurance that we don't compromise on the performance and security of our search services, that our customers have rightly come to expect. Unlike other providers we don't expire your credits either, all we ask is that you purchase a minimum credit pack size each month, and we take care of the rest.
