What is CVC?
Card Verification Code (CVC), also known as CVV (Card Verification Value) or CVV2, is a three- or four-digit number printed on credit and debit cards. This code helps to verify that the cardholder has the physical card in their possession during transactions, especially for online or phone purchases.
Visa, MasterCard, and Discover: The CVC is the three-digit number located on the back of the card near the signature strip.
American Express: The CVC is the four-digit number located on the front of the card, usually on the right side above the card number.
