What is CVV?
CVV, or Card Verification Value, is a 3 or 4 digit number that serves as an additional security measure in the event of credit or debit card fraud.
There are many names for CVV, including Card Security Code (CSC), Card Verification Data (CVD), Card Verification Number (CVN), or Card Verification Value Code (CVVC).
All of these terms refer to the same concept, an additional set of numbers required for transactions where you don't physically swipe your card or insert a chip.
Most cards have two CVVs, one printed directly on the card and one encoded on a magnetic strip or chip.
When the merchant swipes your card, the card processor looks at your card number and the CVV encoded on its magnetic strip.
This lets the processor know that the card is physically in the hands of the merchant and you make the transaction in person.
When you use your card to make purchases over the phone or the internet, you provide the CVV that is printed on the card. This differs from CVV which is encoded on a card chip or magnetic strip.
When a transaction processor sees this CVV, it knows that the transaction does not involve direct interaction and is actually taking place via the internet or telephone. That allows him to keep a close eye on these types of transactions to prevent fraud.
