History
The modern postal system of Mongolia started with the establishment of a state committee for post and telegraph by the Mongolian People's Republic. From 1935 the postal system had a succession of names commencing as the 'City Post Committee', including 'Central Post', 'Telegraph, Post and Communication Office', until 2002 when finally renamed Mongol Post.[2]
The 'Mongol Post Bank', a private bank that operated from 1994 to 2009, was never related to the 'Mongol Post' organisation.[7]

Express mail is available to a limited number of foreign countries. The postal rate for a 1 kg parcel ranges from $29 to $48, depending on the country of destination.

Mongol Shuudan Bank
In 1993, the Post Bank of Mongolia (Mongol. Mongol Shuudan Bank, English Mongol Post Bank) was established.[11] However, by the second half of the 2000s, the bank had large tax debts to the state.[12] In 2009, a decision was made to merge the institution with the Savings Bank of Mongolia (Mong. Khadgalamzhiin Bank, English Savings Bank), which was successfully completed in 2010.[13]
