FAQ
- What is an Address Verification Service (AVS)?
An Address Verification Service (AVS) is a security tool used to verify the billing address provided by a cardholder during a transaction. AVS validates this information by comparing it to the billing address on file with the card issuer.
- What is the purpose of address verification?
Address verification is primarily used to prevent fraudulent transactions, as it can help identify instances where a cardholder is attempting to use a stolen card. By requiring that the billing address provided by the cardholder matches the billing address on file with the card issuer, AVS ensures that the person making the transaction is the rightful owner of the credit card.
Address verification also helps reduce the number of chargebacks businesses may face, which can be costly and time-consuming to resolve. By ensuring that the address provided by the cardholder is correct, AVS helps to reduce the likelihood of chargebacks resulting from fraudulent transactions.
Additionally, an address verification tool can help improve customer data accuracy, which can be helpful for marketing or other business purposes. By ensuring that the customer's address information is correct, businesses can better target their marketing efforts and improve the quality of their customer data. - How does the address verification system (AVS) work?
An AVS indicates the level of match between the address provided by the cardholder and the address on file with the card issuer. The AVS system typically uses the first five digits of the zip code and the street number to verify an address. The merchant or the payment processor can use the AVS response to determine whether to accept or decline the transaction.
