CCV Security Codes

What is CCV?

The CCV is a three or four digit value printed on a
payment card (usually on the signature panel), used to
verify card-not-present transactions�
CCV security codes are a way to lessen the risk of fraud
and chargeback when the cardholder is not physically
present, or when a card cannot be inserted/swiped
successfully� In these cases you can key in the card
number�
A CCV security code is printed on the card but does not appear on receipts� When you key in the
CCV code, a check is made that the code matches the card number� This gives greater assurance
that the customer is in possession of the card�
Note:
• Some cards do not have a CCV code�
• CCV (Card Check Value) is also known as CVV and CVC�

Where can I find the CCV Security Code?

Some cards, for example MasterCard and Visa, have a three-digit CCV printed on the signature
panel on the reverse side of the card� Other numbers may precede the CCV� The last three digits
on the signature panel are the CCV�
Other cards, for example American Express, have a four-digit CCV on the front of the card, above
the account number�
Some cards do not have a CCV�

Should I save CCV Security Codes?

No� It is prohibited to store the CCV codes� They must remain secret� You must not write them
down or save them electronically� Doing so might lead to heavy penalties�

The added security of CHIP technology
Your Westpac MasterCard or Visa Card also features an embedded chip
that will give you access to the latest in card security.
CHIP technology is currently an effective counter-measure against
counterfeit and skimming fraud. The chip stores information more
securely than the magnetic strip, which makes it harder for fraudsters
to copy your card details.
