If the customer provides incorrect information, the transaction might be fraudulent. The international and U.S. domestic Address Verification Service (AVS) codes are the Visa standard AVS codes, except for codes 1 and 2, which are `Cybersource` AVS codes. The standard AVS return codes for other types of payment cards (including American Express cards) are mapped to the Visa standard codes. You receive the code in the auth_avs_code response field. See [Response Fields](/docs/cybs/en-us/sa/developer/all/sa-checkout/secure-acceptance/sa-wm-api-fields/sa-response-fields.md ""). When you populate billing street address 1 and billing street address 2, ` Visa Platform Connect ` concatenates the two values. If the concatenated value exceeds 40 characters, ` Visa Platform Connect ` truncates the value at 40 characters before sending it to Visa and the issuing bank. Truncating this value affects AVS results and therefore might also affect risk decisions and chargebacks.
