Address from credit report
 

When applying for a bank account, does the address (and the phone number) I sign up with to the bank have to match the address (and the phone number) on my credit report?

In other words, would they even ship a debit card to any location other than the one I've got listed on my credit report?

Thanks :)

Don't lie to the banks!!! Read around and you will see its not necessary

I'm talking hypothetically, this is a discussion board after all. This topic can be looked at from a number of different angles, eg. security.

So the question still stands - do bank's require you to sign up with the address (and phone number) you've got listed in your credit rating? From a security point of view my guess would be no. However if you take into consideration the fact that people move a lot these days, it would seem unrealistic for the credit companies to keep track of up-to-date information. Thus making it unreasonable for the banks to require matching information.

Please share if you actually have related experience regarding this or you work in a bank.

i cant imagine a bank sending cards etc to a different address
