Postal code for your business location.
Mastercard requires a postal code for any country that uses postal codes. You can provide the postal code in your
Cybersource
 account or you can include this field in your request.
This value might be displayed on the cardholder’s statement.
This value may be ignored by your acquiring bank. Contact your acquiring bank for more information about overriding your default merchant descriptor.
If your business is located in the US, you can use a five-digit or nine-digit postal code. A nine-digit postal code must follow this format: [5 digits][dash][4 digits]
Example:
 12345-6789
If your business is located in Canada, use a six-character postal code. A six-character postal code must follow this format: [alpha][numeric][alpha][space] [numeric][alpha][numeric]
Example:

When you do not include this value in a PIN debit request, the merchant postal code from your account is used.
