Welcome back! In today's video, we will show you where to find the CVV code on your Visa card and explain what it is. This will be a quick video as there's not much to cover. If you're here, you might be buying products online or registering for a subscription with your Visa card. One common question on online forms is: "What is the CVV code?"
What is the CVV Code?
The CVV (Card Verification Value) code is an additional security feature on your Visa card. When making online purchases, you typically need to provide your 16-digit card number, expiration date, and name. Many online forms also ask for the CVV code.
Where to Find the CVV Code
The CVV code is usually a three-digit number found on the back of your Visa card, on the signature panel. Here are some key points:
- Signature Panel: The CVV code is located next to the signature panel.
- Three-Digit Code: Look for a three-digit number, often in a small box.
- Position: It might be slightly to the right or left, but it's typically near the signature area.
Why is the CVV Code Important?
The CVV code helps protect against fraud. If someone sees your card number and expiration date, they still need the CVV code to make online purchases. This means they would need to see both sides of your card, which adds an extra layer of security.
Additionally, if your bank issues a new card with the same number and expiration date, the CVV code will change. This prevents someone from using your old card details if they have been replaced.
