Franking Services
Corporate franking through authorised banks and institutions, built for large-volume execution.
What it is
Understanding Franking Services
Franking pays stamp duty by having an authorised bank or franking agent impress the duty directly onto the document before it is executed. It suits high-volume, standardised paperwork (lending files, retail finance agreements, employment and vendor contracts) where printing first and stamping in batches is more practical than sourcing paper per document.
The constraint is access: franking runs through authorised institutions with their own hours, queues and limits. We hold those relationships, so batches go through as a scheduled operation rather than as somebody from your team standing in a queue.

How we deliver
From requirement to billing
The same six stages on every instrument, with a record at each one.
-
01
Requirement
You share the instrument, the state and the denomination, by email or through your relationship manager.
-
02
Validation
We confirm which mechanism that state accepts for that document, and flag anything that will not execute as drafted.
-
03
Procurement
Stamp papers, franking, e-stamping, eSBTR or adhesive stamps sourced through our vendor network in that state.
-
04
Execution
Instruments are executed and checked against the order before anything leaves the vendor.
-
05
Delivery
Dispatched to the location you nominate, tracked against your order reference throughout.
-
06
Billing
One consolidated GST invoice across every state and every mechanism, however many orders it covers.
State regulations note Service availability depends on each state's applicable regulations and stamping mechanisms, and we cover more states on request. Applicability and availability of Franking Services are determined by the stamp duty regulations of the state in which the document is executed.
