The card security code, called the Card Verification Value (CVV) or Card Verification Code (CVC), is required when you make an online payment. In this article, we explain exactly where these 3 digits are located on Visa and Mastercard cards.
Where are the 3 digits of the security code located?
The 3 digits of the security code (CVV/CVC) on your card are located on the back of the card, in the signature area. This position applies to Visa and Mastercard cards.
Why do you ask me for the card security code?
The security code is used to verify that you physically possess the card during an online or remote payment. Even if someone knows the card number and expiry date, they cannot complete the transaction without the CVV/CVC. This way, payments become more secure and the risk of fraud is reduced.
