| What is the Security
code or Card Verification Code (CVC) ? The card security code is a three-digit number (four-digit on American Express) printed on 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. |
