A credit card verification (CCV) number is a special number located on a credit card that helps companies like Elance verify that the credit card is being used by the correct owner of the card. We ask for the credit card verification number printed on your credit card as a security measure because it helps ensure the card is being used by the correct owner of the card. We do not record the credit card verification number anywhere in our database, and we only ask for it the first time you enter your credit card.
