 What
is Card Verification Method (CVM)?
The Card Verification Method, or CVM , consists
of a 3 or 4-digit numeric code that is printed
at the back of the credit card along with
(after) the credit card number, where the
card holder signs in his signature on the
card. This additional 3 or 4 digit numeric
code is not embossed on the card nor available
in the magnetic stripe. This additional 3
or 4 digit is code is featured / incorporated
on all Master Cards and Visa cards issued
worldwide, including cards 'Valid only in
India and Nepal'. Visa calls this security
feature as CVV2 and Master Card calls it as
CVC2.
Why CVM?
The purpose of CVM is to ensure that the person
submitting the transaction is in possession
of the actual card, since the code cannot
be copied from charge slips / receipts or
skimmed from the magnetic band. CCAvenue requests
your customer to provide this numeric code
for your order and submits it with the authorization
through the Citibank gateway. The card processor
(i.e. Visa or Master Card) will then validate
the code supplied with the number on record
for the specific card, and return a match/no-match
response.
Securing your customers
According to a Gartner Group survey, 98% of
the credit card numbers that the hackers /
fraudsters are able to collect, are through
charge slips thrown away by retailers / restaurants
/ Shopping Malls etc., which contains the
Card Holder's Name, the 15 or 16 digit credit
card number and the expiry date. This extra
3 or 4 digit numeric code is not printed anywhere
in the charge slip. Therefore the hackers
/ fraudsters cannot use these credit card
numbers on CVM-validated transactions.
World Wide statistics have shown that fraud
rates on transactions with verified CVM codes
have been significantly lower than those for
transactions without CVM (fraud rates on CVM-validated
transaction are reportedly 90% lower than
those for non-CVM transactions). The Card
Verification Method process is an expensive
proposition for the payment gateways and is
therefore not incorporated by any Payment
gateway in India with the sole exception of
Citibank. |
