Card Verification Code (CVC)

What is the Card Verification Code (CVC) or Security code? The card security code is a three-digit number printed on the back of your credit card. This number is not embossed on the card and hence not printed on receipts - making it difficult for anyone other than the genuine cardholder, to know it and to use it. If someone does have possession of your credit card numbers they also need to have possession of your card in order to know what your verification code numbers are. For Mastercard and Visa credit card, the full credit card number is reprinted in the signature strip on the back of the card and at the end of the number is the 3-digit Verification Code.
