The Address Verification System (AVS) works by

• A. The ARC accredited agent verifying through the phone or GDS the client's billing address with the credit card company.
• B. The cardholder entering their address on the merchant’s website.
• C. The card issuer sending a confirmation code via mail.
• D. The retailer cross-checking the address with the postal service.

Answer: (A)

AVS checks the address on file with the card issuer against the address the purchaser provides to the merchant. In airline processing, an ARC accredited agent can verify the billing address with the card issuer via phone or through the GDS connection, adding a layer of fraud protection for card-present? No, card-not-present transactions. This verification helps confirm that the person using the card is associated with the address on file. It’s not about the cardholder entering an address on a website (that’s data entry), nor about a mail-confirmation code, nor about cross-checking with the postal service.
