The Card Identification Number is an added security feature to help protect you against online fraud.
It is a 3 digit number that appears on the back of your credit or debit card, next to your regular card number or on the signature strip.
Because the Card Identification Number is non-embossed and therefore not printed on receipts, it helps ensure that someone cannot use your credit card information without having the card in hand.
Locating your Card Identification Number on Visa or MasterCard

Look for the 3 digit number immediately following the regular number on the back of your card. Alternatively it is the last 3 digit number printed on the signature strip. |

Note: If your card does not have a Card Identification Number, then it cannot be used for this purpose. Please use another credit or debit card.
