What is a CVC code (payment by credit card)?

Modified on Thu, 12 May 2022 at 12:06 PM

The CVC code is a verification number that is generated when the credit card is created. It is a security method for online transactions when paying by credit card. In that way the cardholder is identified and fraud can be prevented. If you have a Master Card or a Visa, you can find the security code (consisting of three numbers that are written in italics) directly above the signature on the back of the card.
