Why do websites ask for a postal code?
A postal code can be used to verify a user has correctly entered their city and province and/or municipal address.
Why does it keep saying my postal code is invalid?
You will see this error when the zip or postal code of your address does not match your purchasing card. Simply review what the postal or zip code of your purchasing card is, and re-enter the correct information to proceed.
What can someone do with your ZIP code?
Alone, your ZIP code might not be of much value all by itself, but criminals will take that information and post it on underground sites where they buy, sell and trade bunches of personal information. From those sites, criminals can purchase enough of your personal information to use it for fraud.
Are post codes important?
With this information, companies are making major marketing decisions including the closing or opening of stores, launching new products or services and pivoting sales data into regions. ZIP Codes are POWERFUL and as such, it is necessary for any business to have VALID and ACCURATE ZIP codes.
