Gateway Rejected: AVS means that your payment was declined because the billing address you entered didn’t match the one your bank has on file. (Click here for more info).

What AVS Does: It's a fraud prevention tool that protects your financial information by verifying address details before processing payments.

Why It Happens:

• The zip code on your account does not match the zip code associated with your payment card
• Address typos or formatting differences
• Your bank’s records haven’t been updated after a move
• AVS flags transactions that seem suspicious, just to be safe

How to Fix It:

1. Make sure the address and zip code you entered are correct and match what your bank has on file
2. Check for typos in street address, apartment numbers, or postal codes
3. Update outdated information with your bank
4. Use the exact address format from your bank statement

Trust Factor: This error demonstrates that robust security measures are protecting your transactions. It doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your account; it’s a sign that your transaction is being protected by security measures designed to stop fraud before it happens.
