How do I check AVS status for credit cards saved on file?

AVS Mismatches will appear in the Reminders list in SiteLink if you have credit cards on file that are unmatched by the Address Verification Service (AVS). This reminder is intended to help you identify credit cards that need updated AVS information. Entering AVS information when saving a card on file is required because it helps reduce fraud and decreases credit card decline rates.

 

Click AVS Mismatches to view the Credit Card Roll Report sorted by AVS status. The Credit Card Roll Report shows tenants who have a credit card on file including AVS check results, credit card expiration dates, and Auto Bill processing days. You can also access this report by clicking Reports > Credit Card Roll

AVS status

With the Credit Card Roll Report sorted by AVS status, go to the end of the report to find the No Match credit cards. 

Match - AVS information has been validated and no action needs to be taken.

No Match - AVS information has been checked but does not match the information from the customer’s bank. The tenant’s address should be verified and re-entered.
