Credit Card "AVS" Security Code

AVS (Address Verification Service) codes are designed to help merchants confirm that an address provided on an order matches the actual address of the cardholder. This protects us and YOU from fraudulent use of your card.

On most credit cards your AVS security code can be found on the back of your card on the signature strip. After the complete numbers of your credit card you should see an extra 3 or 4 digit number. This is your AVS security code

Most major credit cards are now supporting AVS

 


Some cards have a 3-4 digit number printed at the top
of the signature strip on the reverse of the card.


Others, American Express for example, have a 4 digit number
printed on the front of the card, above the account number.
