Address Verification Service

WebDynamic™ Web Glossary

The Address Verification Service (AVS) is a service provided by credit card companies to aid in the detection of suspicious credit card transaction activity. The AVS verifies the given billing address with the card holder's billing address as stated on the records of the issuing credit card company.

According to your AVS rejection settings, the transaction is accepted or rejected. This is an extra measure of security that helps to keep your online credit card transactions secure.
