What is a billing ZIP code?
A Billing Zip Code is the address you have (for example) Credit Card statements sent. This is the primary use of “Billing Zip Codes”. It may also be used by Healthcare providers to protect your privacy and identity. Most Credit card companies use the zip code of where your Credit Card statements are sent, as your Billing Zip code. For example, you home address might be 12435 Peach Street Anytown, Oh 44100, but have your Credit Card statements (Billing) go to a P.O. Box with a different (44101) Zip Code. They use the Billing Zip Code as a Verification tool to prevent unauthorized users from charging items on your card, if it were lost or stolen. Most Pay at the Pump gas pumps, require you to enter your Billing Zip Code for “Credit” purchases. This is usually not required for “Debit” purchases, since you must enter a pin number for debit purchases. Some bill collectors and online retailers also require a Billing Zip Code to pay bills or make purchases. Read More About Billing Zip Code
