Card Verification Value

CVV2, or Card Verification Value, is a number that is printed, not imprinted, on your Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. This number is never transferred during card swipes and should only be known by the cardholder, the person holding the card in their hand.

Visa, Mastercard, and Discover card members can find their CVV2 number in the signature area on the back of  your card. The three-digit CVV2 number is located after the card number.

American Express card members can find their CVV2 number printed above and to the right of the imprinted card number on the front of the card.
