Savings can be made anywhere by inserting a card or using a smartphone or app. When you feel like impulsive spending outside the home, you can send money and a message containing it through the app. However, because the app does not have a withdrawal function, you cannot take out money sent outside. Withdrawals are only possible through contact with an electronic piggy bank at home. 'POSTAL.' contains the meaning of 'Let's send the usable money so far away that we can't see it before our eyes.' Therefore, the shape of the piggy bank was designed to suppress the act of depositing money by comparing it to the act of sending mail with a certain purpose. It gave a fancy feel so that users could approach reducing consumption in a friendly way.
