| Where Can I Find My Credit Card Security Code?
|
|
Visa/Mastercard and Discover Users
Flip your card over and look at the signature box. You should see
either the entire 16-digit credit card number or just the last four digits followed
by a special 3-digit code. This 3-digit code is your Card Security
Code.
|
American Express Credit Card Users
Look for the 4-digit code printed on the front of your card just above and to the right of your
main credit card number. For some cardholders, this number will be above and to the left of your main credit card number. This 4-digit code is your Card Security
Code.

What is a Credit Card Security Code?
|
It is an important security feature that now appears on the back of most Visa/MasterCard and Discover cards, and on the front of American Express cards. This new code is a three or four-digit number which provides a cryptographic check of the information embossed on the card.
The security code helps validate that the customer
placing the online or telephone order actually has the credit card in his/her
possession, and that the credit/debit card account is legitimate.

How Does This Security Code Protect Me?
|
The security code is only printed on the card and it is not contained in the magnetic stripe information, nor does it appear on sales receipts or billing statements - you must have the card in your possession in order to use this code.
Card security codes are not raised, so
they are not scanned into standard credit card readers. In theory, these
numbers are only visible to you. When you give your card security code to
a merchant, you assist the merchant in verifying that the order is being
placed by you, the card holder.
|
| Do I Have to Enter This Security Code?
|
YES, you must enter the code. Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express now require merchants that offer items or services for sale on the Internet or over the telephone to obtain the security code for all cards that have a code printed on them. In order for this transaction to be accepted and processed, you must enter this code if it's printed on your card. This is done for your protection.
For your security, Zito Media Community Channel's online services will not accept payment by a credit card that does not have a security code.
