    Address Verification Service National Results:
    Customers who pay by MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover Credit or Debit card must clear the National Address Verification Service or "AVS".

    If your card is declined for AVS this means that even though funds may have been available on your credit card or debit card, your bank returned an AVS result than cannot be accepted, so the transaction was declined.

    For your bank to approve an AVS transaction, you must match the STREET ADDRESS or PO BOX numbers exactly, as well as the 5-digit zip code.  If these do not match, your transaction will be declined.
