Card Security Code
The card security code (CSC) sometimes called Card Verification Value (CVV or CVV2), Card Verification Code (CVC or CVC2), or Card Code Verification (CCV) are different terms for security features for credit or debit card transactions, providing increased protection against credit card fraud.
As additional account security, every credit card comes with a special three- or four-digit code generally known as a CVV2 or CVV number. Cardholders will be requested to enter this when processing an online payment. An identity thief who has come across credit card information illegally will not have access to the CVV number if they do not have physical access of the card.
AVS
The Address Verification Service (AVS) is a risk management tool that enables merchants accepting card payments in a non-face-to-face environment (e.g. e-commerce, mail order and telephone order [MOTO) to verify the validity of the billing address provided by their customers by comparing it to the one on file with the card issuer. Using AVS helps card-not-present merchants minimize fraud and fraud-related chargebacks.
AVS requests are processed in real time or in batches and may be used with or without a transaction authorization request. Typically, the response is received within just a few seconds.
