Find out where the 3-digit security code is located on your Visa or Mastercard to complete online payments.
Where to find the 3-digit security code
The card security code — known as Card Verification Value (CVV) or Card Verification Code (CVC) — is located on the back of your card, in the signature area.
This applies to both Visa and Mastercard.
Why you are asked for the card security code
The security code (CVV/CVC) confirms that you physically have the card in your possession during an online or remote payment.
Even if someone knew your card number and expiry date, they could not complete the payment without this code. This significantly reduces the risk of fraud.
