Credit Card Security Code

Security Code, or Card Verification Value (CVV2), is a number that is printed, not imprinted, on your Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card. This number is never transferred during card swipes or imprints and should only be known by the person holding the card in their hand.

Visa, MasterCard, and Discover card members can find their security code number in the signature area on the back of the card. Your card number should be printed here along with a three-digit number at the end. This three-digit number is your security code number.

American Express card members can find their security code number printed above and to the right of the imprinted card number on the front of the card.
