CCV Number Explained - (Credit Card Verification or Card Code Verification Number)

We require the CCV Number along with other security checks to protect your transaction.  With credit card orders - for your protection and ours - we require the additional CCV (Card Code Verification) from your credit card.  This CCV is found in different places depending on what type of credit card that you have. This fraud protection system has been created so that if someone does have possession of your credit card number they also need to have physical possession of your card in order to know what your CCV is.
