U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration to Use U.S. Bank Transportation Solutions

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has signed a letter of intent to implement U.S. Bank Transportation Solutions for billing and payment of freight shipments.

“We welcome NNSA to the growing group of federal agencies choosing U.S. Bank’s freight payment network to cut costs, enhance efficiency and save taxpayer dollars,” said Doug Ichiuji, senior vice president, U.S. Bank Government Services. “The list already includes the Departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services. We continue to transform payment processing with the most effective collaboration, financial supply chain visibility and business intelligence tools available.”

Last year, the Defense Department alone processed freight payments of $3.5 billion and household goods payments of $2 billion through U.S. Bank Transportation Solutions. The resultant savings to U.S. taxpayers rose into the millions.

“Beyond innovative products and superior customer service, U.S. Bank provides a strong and reliable financial partner,” Ichiuji added. “Our financial performance remains among the best in the industry. It comes from a disciplined approach to credit and risk management and continued investment in products and services that meet the needs of our customers.”
