Verification of the CVV2/CVC2 code

When paying with a Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club or JCB credit card, the card's CVV2/CVC2 code must be entered.

The CVV2/CVC2 code is the last three digits of the number located on the reverse side of the card in the area containing the cardholder's signature.

The CVV2/CVC2 code:

  • provides an additional element of verification, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized use of stolen credit card numbers.
  • only on your credit card and in the computer system of your credit card issuer.
  • is never printed on any transaction statements (ATM, POS, or bank statement).
  • code was designed to provide an additional element of security when the credit card is used for purchases by phone or the internet. The CVV2/CVC2 code is an international standard.
