Post Office Financial Services play a vital role in promoting savings, financial inclusion, and economic security, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. Trust and reliability are the key determinants that influence customers’ preference for post office schemes over other financial institutions. The present study examines the level of customer trust and perceived reliability towards post office financial services. Primary data were collected from 157 respondents using a structured questionnaire. Statistical tools such as Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test, Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity, Factor Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling (AMOS) were applied to identify the major factors influencing trust and reliability. The findings reveal that service transparency, employee behaviour, security of investments, and service accessibility significantly influence customer trust and reliability. The study emphasizes the need to strengthen service quality and communication to enhance customer confidence in post office financial services
