What is the CSC code?:

We accept only VISA, MasterCard credit cards. In addition to your credit card number, you will be required to input the CSC code printed in ink on either the back of your card.

The 3-digit CSC appears on the back of most MasterCard or VISA cards (usually in the signature field). All or part of the credit card number appears before the CSC.

This fraud prevention tool has various names, depending on the processor. VISA calls it CVV2, MasterCard calls it CVC2, and American Express calls it CID. Because the CSC appears only on the card and not on receipts or statements, the CSC provides some assurance that the physical card is in the possession of the buyer. We are protecting our CSWEP members from online fraudulent use of their personal credit cards.
