What is a CCV number and why do you ask for it?

CCV stands for Card Code Verification. The CCV number is a three or four digit number on your credit card, in addition to your account number. This CCV helps to protect you (and us) against credit card fraud. Here's how: If someone has possession of your credit card number, they also need to have physical possession of your card in order to know what your CCV number is. For your protection and ours, we require the CCV number on credit card orders. This number is not stored online or retained by WorkingPerson.com. A CCV is found in different places depending what type of credit card you have: For Visa, Mastercard, & Discover: The CCV is a three-digit number on the back of your Visa card. The full credit card number is reprinted in the signature box and at the end of the number is the CCV. For American Express: The CCV is a four-digit number on the front of the American Express card above the credit card number on either the right or left side of your Amex card.
