What is the security code I need during checkout?
The security code (or CVV2 number) is a three digit code usually displayed on the back of the card after the card number in the signature strip. The one exception is the American Express card where the number is a four digit code and appears on the front of the card in the top right hand corner. It is a security measure that banks require for all transactions where the cardholder is not present. Since the security code is listed on your card and not stored anywhere else, the only way to know the correct number is to have the card in your possession. If you cannot read your security code, you will need to contact your card issuer as we cannot accept a transaction without this code.
