What is CVV code and where can I find it?

The CVV code, also known as the Card Verification Value, is a three-digit number located on the back of your credit or debit card. To locate it, look at the end of the white stripe on the back of your Visa or Mastercard card. This number is used as an additional security feature to help prevent unauthorized use of your card for online or phone transactions. When making purchases or deposits online, you will typically be asked to enter the CVV code to verify that you are the cardholder and ensure that the transaction is secure.
