what is cvv in atm card

The CVV stands for Card Verification Value. It is a vital security feature.

• It is typically a 3-digit security code for most Visa, Mastercard, and RuPay ATM-cum-Debit Cards.
• The CVV is printed on the back of your card, usually near the signature strip.
• Its purpose is to verify the cardholder during online or 'card-not-present' transactions.
• Merchants are strictly prohibited from storing your CVV after a transaction, which helps significantly in preventing online payment fraud.
