How do I verify my business address when using a VCC for Pinterest Ads?

Great question — verifying your business address when using a VCC (Virtual Credit Card) for Pinterest Ads can be a bit tricky, especially since VCCs don't always carry traditional billing address info that matches up with verification systems.

Here's a clear guide to help you get through it:

✅ 1. Make Sure Your VCC Has a Valid Billing Address
Some VCC providers (like Privacy.com, Revolut, Wise, or Payoneer) allow you to set or view the billing address associated with the card. This is important because:

🔐 Pinterest may use AVS (Address Verification System) to match your card's billing address with what you enter.

Action:

Log in to your VCC provider.

Check or update the billing address tied to the VCC.

Use this same address in Pinterest's Billing Settings.

🧾 2. Enter Your Business Info in Pinterest Ads Manager
Go to Pinterest Ads Manager.

Click your profile icon or business name > select Billing.

Click Business Info.

Fill in:

Legal business name

Billing address (this should match your VCC's address)

Country, ZIP/postal code, etc.

Tax ID (if required in your country)

Make sure everything is consistent — mismatches between business address and VCC billing info can cause declines or verification issues.

📧 3. Upload Verification Documents (if Requested)
Pinterest may ask for documents to verify your billing or business info, especially if:

Payments fail

You've had multiple cards flagged

You're spending large amounts

They might request:

A utility bill or bank statement with your business name/address

A screenshot of the VCC provider account showing the card and billing address

Proof of identity (like a business license or tax certificate)

📝 Pro Tip: Blur sensitive info (card numbers, balances), but leave your name, business name, and address visible.

📬 4. Contact Pinterest Support if Verification Fails
If Pinterest can't verify your business address or the card gets flagged:

👉 Submit a request here: Pinterest Business Contact Form

Choose:

Pinterest Business Account

Billing and Payments

Payment method declined or Other billing issue

Explain:

That you're using a VCC

That the billing address matches but verification is failing

Attach a screenshot or doc that shows the card and address

⚠️ Heads-Up About VCCs:
Some virtual cards are not fully supported for advertising platforms because:

They don't pass AVS checks

They're considered high-risk or temporary

They rotate card numbers or billing addresses frequently

🧩 If verification becomes a recurring issue, consider:

Using a bank-issued VCC (from Amex, Capital One, etc.)

Switching to a physical card just for billing verification, then swap back
