Authorizations with Card Verification Numbers
Card verification numbers (CVNs) are a required feature for the authorization
service.
The CVN is printed on a payment card, and only the cardholder can access it. The CVN is
used in card-not-present transactions as a verification feature. Using the CVN helps
reduce the risk of fraud.
CVNs are not included in payment card track data and cannot be obtained from a card
swipe, tap, or dip.
CVNs must not be stored after authorization.
IMPORTANT
In Europe, Visa mandates that you not include a CVN for
mail-order transactions and not record a CVN on any physical format such as a
mail-order form.
