CVV2 / CVC2 Credit Cards Security Codes
In order to enhance the security of
process payments with Visa and Mastercard credit cards, we now introduced an
additional element : the CVV2 or CVC2 security code. This 3 digit code is found
on the back of your credit card.
What is CVV2 or CVC2 and why do you need them?
The CVV2/CVC2 is a three-digit security code that is printed on the back of
credit cards. This code is used to establish that you are in posession of the
card used for the payment.
Where is CVV2 located on my card?
The CVV2 three-digit value is printed just above the signature panel in reverse
italics on the back of your card. Usually it is preceded by your card number.

I found a number on the back of my card, but it has more than 3 digits
We only need the last 3 digits of this number (the other are just a repetition
of your credit card number).
