Addresses

The address resource on the Marqeta platform performs the function of a billing address. An active address is required in order to use a payment card funding source. You associate such a funding source with an address by way of mutual association with the same account holder (either a user or business).

Note
Although the user and business resources also have address fields, these are used for other purposes such as KYC identity verification and the shipping address for physical cards.

Fields Description

token

string, optional

The unique identifier of the address. If you do not include a token, the system will generate one automatically. This token is necessary for use in other API calls, so we recommend that rather than let the system generate one, you use a simple string that is easy to remember. This value cannot be updated.

Allowable Values: 36 char max

user_token OR business_token

string, required

Specifies the account holder to associate with this address. Pass either user_token or business_token, not both. This value cannot be updated.
