What is the CVV or card security code ?

A CVV is a special code that is only printed on the physical card. This is for fraud protection of your card information. The CVV entered must match the other card information such as card number and expiration date. Usually, this is a three digit code printed on the signature line of your card. For American Express cards, this is a four digit number printed on the front.

If this code is not provided or is incorrect, the transaction will be declined.
