So you can in fact process sales without AVS matching and that's not a problem (many merchants do it).
What they do is call the customer directly if the transaction looks suspicious.
If you would like to discuss this via email contact me any time at msinfo@merchantseek.com

And you get to pay your discount/transactions fees on all bank approved transactions. Not to mention far more time consuming. Not a viable option as I see it. Unless of course you want to pay those fees and potential loses for me.
The banks have the needed info. If their interest is in protecting their cardholders they should be verifying it PRIOR to issuing an approval/authorization. Their interest is not in protecting their cardholders from potential fraud. They wash their hands of any responsibility and drop it straight into the laps of merchants.
Merchants who have to deal daily with their refusal to protect THEIR cardholders from potential misuse of a credit card.
