∙ 10y agoAlmost, but not quite. "Postal code" is a general term for numeric or alphanumeric codes used for delivering mail in many countries around the world. ZIP Code is a term specifically for postal codes in the United States and in the Philippines. "ZIP Code" is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan code.
Thus, all ZIP Codes are postal codes, but not all postal codes are ZIP Codes.

∙ 11y agoThey serve the same purpose by locating a given address within its local area. Us zip codes locate an address within a couple of blocks or so. Canadian postal codes locate an address within a couple of houses or so. Canadian codes are a little more complicated than US zip codes but they are more specific.

is a zip code the same of a postal code?
Many countries use codes to speed the processing of mail. In the US (and a few other countries due to the influence of the US), these codes are called zip codes. (ZIP was originally an acronym for "Zone Improvement Program".) In most countries they're called "postal codes". So, if you live in the US and someone asks for your postal code, they're asking for what you call a zip code. If you live outside the US and someone asks for your zip code, they're asking for what you probably call a postal code. They're not technically exactly the same thing, but it's along the lines of asking for a Coke and getting a Pepsi instead: slightly disgusting, but still more or less similar.
