What is the zip code for my debit card

Written by Sam

Connecting your Debit Card to your Public account is super easy, but it is super important that the information on your card matches the information on your Public account.

The first name, last name, and zip code listed on your debit card must match the first name, last name, and zip code on your Public account in order to successfully add your debit card.

If you are unable to link your debit card, please confirm that the name and zip code on your debit card (and associated checking account) match the name and zip code on your Public account. If you need to update your address on your Public account, please contact the Public CX team via live chat in the app.

If you ever have questions, the team is always here for you, so feel free to give us a shout on the app’s Live Chat or via email at !

A credit card postal code is the ZIP code associated with a credit card’s billing address. That’s the address you provided on your application, unless you’ve since moved and updated your information. And it’s where you receive your statement every month, if you haven’t gone paperless. Some merchants’ payment systems will ask you to provide a postal code when you pay with your credit card. For instance, Ulta makeup stores require it, as do most gas stations. They use it as a security measure, since a credit card thief might not know your address. So the transaction will be declined if the postal code that’s entered doesn’t match what the credit card company has on file.

Credit card postal codes aren’t the most complex of topics. But there are a few important details you should keep in mind to avoid running into any issues.

Here’s what you should know about credit card postal codes:

  • A credit card postal code is the ZIP code your credit card company has on.
  • If you move, you’ll need to update your billing address through your online account or by calling customer service. As soon as you do, you’ll be able to start using your new ZIP code for verification.
  • When you shop online, you’ll be asked for both your shipping address and billing address. Your shipping address is where you want your purchase to go. Your billing address is the one your credit card company has on file.

The most important thing to remember about your credit card postal code is that it’s part of your billing address. As long as you keep that updated, you should be in good shape.

Basically, Billing postal codes are the zip codes or PIN codes of corresponding addresses mapped to your credit cards or similar services (i.e., the address to which your bills are mailed).

How do I change an address for a Capital One credit card?

You can change the address on your Capital One credit card online, by phone, fax or mail, or by visiting a Capital One branch. Depending on the method you use, you will need your card’s account number, expiration date, and security code. You may also be asked to provide your date of birth and the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you have a Capital One branch account, you will have to contact Capital One by phone or through the branch to update your address.read full answer

Capital One reports your address to all three credit bureaus. Creditors and businesses with permission to view your credit report retrieve your contact information from the credit bureaus, so make sure your updated address is on file with Capital One as soon as possible.

Here is how you change the address on your Capital One credit card:

  • Online: Log into your online account and click on your name/icon in the top right corner. Then, select “Profile” to access and edit your contact information and enter your new residential and/or billing address, if different. Once you updated the address, it is effective immediately. You will receive a confirmation email. If you have more than one Capital One credit card, you will need to repeat this step for each product you wish to update. Keep in mind that it may take up to 2 business days for Capital One to fully process your request. Until then, correspondence may be sent to your former address.
  • By phone: Call customer service from the number on the back of your card, or (800) 227-4825. You will need your Capital One 16-digit account number, expiration date, and 3-digit security code. You will also have to provide your birthdate and the last four digits of your Social Security number.
  • In person: Visit a local Capital One branch and let the teller know your address has changed. You will have to provide documentation such as a driver’s license or current utility bill that includes your new address.
  • By mail: You can also change your mailing address by sending an update via mail. Make sure you include a brief description of what you want done; your account number; full name; new address; your SSN or date of birth. Then, simply mail your request to the following address:
    Capital One
    Attn: General Correspondence
    O. Box 30285
    Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0285

You can always go the traditional route and request a change of address through the post office. This would forward all of your mail, not just your Capital One credit card statement.

For security purposes, the safer move would be to contact Capital One directly with your updated contact information. It can take the postal service up to two months to update your billers, so you’ll want your new address updated with Capital One quickly. Otherwise, if your credit card statement or other Capital One correspondence arrives at your old address, information such as your credit card number or other personal information could be stolen and used to commit credit card fraud or identity theft.
