Tip: Providing your CVV number to an online merchant proves that you actually have the physical credit or debit card – and helps to keep you safe while reducing fraud.

The CVV Number (“Card Verification Value”) aka CVV / CVV2 / CSC / CID, on your credit card or debit card, is a 3 digit number on VISA®, MasterCard® and Discover® branded credit and debit cards.

On your American Express® branded credit or debit card it is a 4 digit numeric code.

CVV / CVV2 / CSC / CID code is provided as a service to all Credit Card and Debit Card Holders
