What is a billing ZIP code?

It is the address that you provide where you get the credit card statements sent from the bank. This is said to be the basic use of zip code, but it is also used in various other fields, such as you may provide it to health care providers to keep your privacy and identification.

There may be a situation where a person has given two addresses, such as your home address might be 567, Maple Street, xyz town, VN 55122, but the credit card statements go to a P.O box with another zip code, such as 55121. In such cases, they use the billing zip code as a verifying means to restrict any unapproved users from encumbering items on your card if it was lost or stolen.

Finding your billing zip code is a pretty simple task. You need to snap on the My Account link in the same drop-down menu, and after that, choose the option Manage Firm from the menu.  Then scroll down to review the billing contact data, there you would find the billing zip code of your area.

It is said to be the postal or zip code of the address that you have given to your credit or debit card company or where they send your bank statement.

The address you give to the bank while opening your account includes the Zip code of your card or one you fill in the application form.

Almost all the credit card companies like Master card, Visa card, Rupay card, etc., use the same zip code of the visa card zip code where your credit card statements are sent. This zip code is called a visa card zip code.

It is actually the short form of the Zone Improvement Plan. This acronym was intentionally chosen by USPS so that the mail travels even faster when the senders write the postal code on the parcels. This system began in 1963, and the basic zip code is 5 digits.
