How To Update Your Mailing Address

There are five ways you can update your mailing address on your Visa account.

Via Phone

You can contact the Visa card issuer directly on the phone to update your address. You will be required to provide identifying information when you call, such as your full name, date of birth, account/card number and possibly a PIN number or answer a security question. You will also need to provide the address that is currently on the card in addition to the new address. You can call Visa here for assistance.

Online

Online is perhaps the quickest way to update your mailing address. Go to the issuer's website and log into your account. Under "Profile" or "Account Management," navigate to the section where you update your information. Here you will edit your old address to your new one. You may be asked to provide your online account password again to confirm the switch (or some other identifying information). Once you hit "Save," your new address will be on file for your Visa account.

Mobile App

Another quick way to update your address on your Visa account is through the mobile app. Sign in to your account on your app and look for the "Profile" or "Account Management" portal. Tap on that and update your information on the app and save your changes to lock them in.

Through Snail Mail

If you get paper statements, you can change your address by writing your new address on the back of your statement and checking on the front of the bill that you have moved. Once Visa receives your payment, your address will be updated in the system.

In Person

You can visit a branch location for the Visa issuer if you live near one. Simply go into the branch office and update your address in person. You will have to show your identification and provide proof of the new address. This could be an updated identification card (driver's license) with the new address, a utility bill, or a copy of your lease if you are renting.

Updating your address on your Visa account is easy, and there are multiple ways to keep your account current. For more information or assistance, contact Visa here.
