Changing Mailing Adress
If you call them, you can make sure they'll use the new address, but if you want to do it online, there is some risk that the update is delayed. Note also that an address change with an immediate request for a replacement debit card smells very fishy - this what a hacker / thief would do to get your money. Calling seems to be the better approach, as you can verify your identity further. Otherwise, you might well run into an automated block.
The simplest way to handle this would be to buy money orders, make them out to the charities, and leave your name off them.  Money orders don't require you to put your name on them, just the name of whoever they're being paid to.  You can mail them with no return address as well if you're sure you have the charity's proper mailing address.   This way you can still feel good about giving and leave no trace of who you are for anyone to use for future marketing. I hope this helps. Good luck! "Listen the fuck up. I'm about to tell you how to get a job in one of the most competitive industries in the fucking country. I did what I'm about to fucking tell you, and it fucking worked.   I'm a civil engineer by degree. After a year of slaving away and a raise that hardly kept up with inflation, I got fed the fuck up. Here's what I did.  Open up your browser. Chrome is the best, but Netscape will do. Now go to that fucking search engine that owns the rest of them... Bin--- I mean Google. Now search some variation of ""finance firm (insert city)"" or ""private equity (insert city)"". Your goal here is to find the firms or companies around you that you're interested in getting a job with (probably fucking all of them at this point).   Now... You've got all these fucking firms that field applications from little shits like you all fucking day long. People always say it, ""You gotta stand out"".   What better way to peacock their asses than to e-mail the CEO/Managing Director of the bitch. What's that you say? You don't have their e-mail address? Yeah. Yeah you do. Use the website address as the domain of the e-mail and try a generic jdoe@ or john.doe@ or john@ or johnd@ . One of them will work somewhere between 82%-83% of the time.   Now to the content of the e-mail. Don't fucking ask for ""potential employment opportunities"" and don't be a cocky bitch and tell him how qualified you are to get his coffee... Ask him what he does for a living and how you're really interested in what he does (asset management, fixed income, mortgage trading, lean hog trading, PE, VC, angel investing, M&amp;A). The more specific this is, the better.   Now craft an e-mail that basically says this:  Dear Fuckstick (whatever his name is),  I'm a college grad with a degree in something that you give no fucks about. During school, I came to love finance and got an internship at MS. Now, I've been reading books and doing my own DCF modeling training... Maybe learning some coding (make shit up). I don't know what part of finance I want to dive into, but I do know that you're successful as fuck and I wanna suck your dick while I ask you questions becuase you're the smartest mother fucker in the room and I wanna be just like you.  Can I buy you a cup of coffee or lunch and pick your brain apart?  Hugs and handjobs,  Some kid    I did something like this for about 6 months, met with 15 powerful and smart ppl (and very coincidentally found out that there's a ponzi scheme going on in my city)... One of them gave me a job...   Now go out and don't fucking blow it... Unless they specifically ask." "Several options are available. She may ask the US bank to issue a debit card (VISA most probably) to her account, and mail this card to Russia. I think this can be done without much problems, though sending anything by mail may be unreliable. After this she just withdraws the money from local ATM. Some withdrawal fee may apply, which may be rather big if the sum of money is big. In big banks (Alfa-bank, Citibank Russia, etc.) are ATMs that allow you to withdraw dollars, and it is better to use one of them to avoid unfavorable exchange rate. She may ask the US bank to transfer the money to her Russian account. I assume the currency on the US bank account is US Dollars. She needs an US dollar account in any Russian bank (this is no problem at all).  She should find out from that bank the transfer parameters (реквизиты) for transfering US dollars to her account. This should include, among other info, a ""Bank correspondent"", and a SWIFT code (or may be two SWIFT codes). After this, she should contact her US bank and find out how can she request the money to be transferred to her Russian bank, providing these transfer parameters. I can think of two problems that may be here. First, the bank may refuse to transfer money without her herself coming to the bank to confirm her identity. (How do they know that a person writing or calling them is she indeed?) However, I guess there should be some workaround for this. Second, with current US sanctions against Russia, the bank may just refuse the transfer or will have do some additional investigations. However, I have heard that bank transfers from US to private persons to Russia are not blocked. Probably it is good to find this out in advance. In addition, the US bank will most probably charge some standard fee for foreign transfer. After this, she should wait for a couple of days, maybe up to week for the money to appear on Russian account. I have done this once some four years ago, and had no problems, though at that time I was in the US, so I just came to the bank myself. The bank employee to whom I talked obviously was unsure whether the transfer parameters were enough (obviously this was a very unusual situation for her), but she took the information from me, and I guess just passed it on to someone more knowledgable. The fee was something about $40. Another option that I might think of is her US bank issuing and mailing her a check for the whole sum, and she trying to cash it here in Russia. This is possible, but very few banks do cash checks here (Citibank Russia is among those that do). The bank will also charge a fee, and it will be comparable to transfer fee. Plus mailing anything is not quite reliable here. She would also have to consider whether she need to pay Russian taxes on this sum. If the sum is big and passes through a bank, I guess Russian tax police may find this out through and question her. If it is withdrawn from a VISA card, I think it will not be noticed, but even in this case she might be required to file a tax herself." If I had a business and was able to claim a feature, I would. It's simple marketing. If in fact, opting out helped your score, the site would promote that feature.  Soft pulls for prescreened offers are not counted. No more than my constant peek at my score through Credit Karma. Opt out, if you wish.  The benefit of course is less mail, which saves trees. Less risk of identity theft, someone can take the application and try to forge from there. Less risk of an infected paper cut opening this mail (don't ask.) I am a compulsive mail shredder, so I peek and these and shred. A year ago I received an offer of $30,000 zero interest, max transfer fee $50. I sent the entire sum to my 5% mortgage. Now I refinanced and paying that back. It saved me $1500 over the year. Too much trouble for some, but how long does it take to make $1500? For 40% of this country's families, that's a week's pay. The monthly extra bill didn't bother me. This last paragraph is an anecdote, not so much addressing question. I did that first. For purposes of the EIN the address is largely inconsequential. The IRS cannot (read: won't) recover the EIN if you fail to write it down after the website generates it for you. On your actual tax form the address is more consequential, and this is more so a question of consistency than anything. But an entity can purchase property anywhere and have a different address subsequent years. Paying the actual taxes means more than the semantical inconsistencies. The whole purpose of separate accounts is to make an audit easier, so even if someone imagines that some action (such as address ambiguity) automatically triggers an audit, all your earnings/purchases are not intermingled with personal stuff, which just streamlines the audit process. Consequences (or lack thereof) aside, physical means where physical property is. So if you have an actual mailing address in your state, you should go with that. Obviously, this depends on what arrangement you have with your registered agent, if all addresses are in Wyoming then use the Wyoming address and let the Registered Agent forward all your mail to you. Don't forget your $50 annual report in Wyoming ;) How did you open a business paypal without an EIN? Business bank accounts? Hm... this is for liability purposes... They better wipe their goddamn servers when that happens. Though with the number of mishaps they've had so far they'll probably just move some unencrypted, non-password-protected file named ssns_and_names.xls into the recycle bin and leave the servers on the side of the road, thinking there's no way someone can get the data now. SpecKK's answer is excellent, I've only got two things to add: When your creditors change your account number, make sure to update your online information. You're not sending back a coupon, so it's up to you to make sure it has the new number and gets posted to the correct account. If your bank supports it, give the creditors good labels/nicknames. If you have names that are similar, it's easy to send a payment to the wrong place -- this may not be easy to detect and is a hassle to straighten out. Normally, that is the address of the person that __wrote the check = the person who is paying the money (= your address if you write the check). In this example, it is '...2063 Main Street...' You mail the check to the recipient, the person who gets the money. His name is supposed to be in the line PAY TO THE ORDER OF, but it does normally not contain any address, just a name; in this example the recipient is 'Sample Company'. The check does not carry the recipient's address anywhere; only the envelope has it. If you are sending someone money, you will have to ask them where to send it to.  Some checks have the bank's name printed on the top right, but that has no influence; it is basically an advertisement ('Your bank Name'):
