ADDED SECURITY
What is Card Verification Method (CVM)?
The Card Verification Method, or CVM , consists of a 3 or
4-digit numeric code that is printed at the back of the credit card
along with (after) the credit card number, where the card holder
signs in his signature on the card. This additional 3 or 4 digit
numeric code is not embossed on the card nor available in the
magnetic stripe. This additional 3 or 4 digit is code is featured /
incorporated on all Master Cards and Visa cards issued worldwide.
Visa calls this security feature as CVV2 and Master Card calls it as
CVC2.
Why CVM?
The purpose of CVM is to ensure that the person submitting the
transaction is in possession of the actual card, since the code
cannot be copied from charge slips / receipts or skimmed from the
magnetic band. CCAvenue™ requests your customer to provide this
numeric code for your order and submits it with the authorization
through the Citibank gateway. The card processor (i.e. Visa or
Master Card) will then validate the code supplied with the number on
record for the specific card, and return a match/no-match response.
Keeping your customers secure
According to a Gartner Group survey, 98% of the credit card
numbers that the hackers / fraudsters are able to collect, are
through charge slips thrown away by retailers / restaurants /
shopping malls etc., This slip contains the card holder's name, the
15 or 16 digit credit card number and the expiry date. This extra 3
or 4 digit numeric code is not printed anywhere in the charge slip.
Therefore the hackers / fraudsters cannot use these credit card
numbers on CVM-validated transactions.
World Wide statistics have shown that fraud rates on transactions
with verified CVM codes have been significantly lower than those for
transactions without CVM (fraud rates on CVM-validated transaction
are reportedly 90% lower than those for non-CVM transactions).
