CVV/CVN Explained

The three digit security code is known as the CVV (Card Verification Value) or CVN (Card Verification Number). It is a number that is printed, not imprinted, on your Visa, Mastercard or Bankcard. This number is never transferred during card swipes and should only be known by the cardholder, the person holding the card in their hand.

Visa, Mastercard, and Bankcard card members can find their CVV/CVN number in the signature area of your card. Your card number should be printed here along with a three-digit number at the end. This is your CVV/CVN number.
