Security
Code? The card security
code is a unique three or four-digit number printed on your debit/credit card.
This number is not embossed on the card and hence not printed on receipts -
making it difficult for anyone other than the genuine cardholder, to know it.
Some card issuers refer to this number as the 'Card Security Code' others as
the 'Personal Security Code' and others as 'Card Verification Value'.
|
Some cards, many UK-issued cards for example, have a three-digit number printed at the top of the signature strip on the reverse of the card. |
|
Others, American Express cards for example, have a four-digit number printed on the front of the card, above the account number. |
Billing
Address?
Please enter the address to which your card statement is currently
sent. It is essential that you keep your Card Issuer informed of any changes
of address. Your billing address must match the address held by your Card Issuer
exactly. If it does not, we may defer acceptance of your transaction and seek
further proof of your address or decline your purchase altogether.
Fraud
Prevention
we, in conjunction with your card-issuer, ask for Security Code and
Address information in order to protect cardholders against misuse of their
card.
