Credit/Debit card Security Code.
Security Code Verification
The card security code is a number printed on the card. The number is not embossed on the card and hence not printed on receipts etc. making it much harder for anyone other than the cardholder to know what the code is.
This will help prevent 'cardholder not present' fraud. A security code is now printed on the vast majority of credit / debit cards.
The format and position of the security code varies across card schemes.
- Some cards have a three-digit number printed at the end of the cards' signature
strip.
- Some (AMEX cards for example) have a four digit number on the front of
the card.
- 'Security Code',
- 'personal security code'
- 'Card Verification Value'.
Some specifics:
- 'CVV2' for Visa Cards,
- 'Card Verification Code' (CVV) for Mastercard/Eurocard
- 'Security Code' for AMEX cards.
