Address Verification Services (AVS) and Card ID Verification (CVC)
AVS/CVC — Pre-Authentication Services
Address Verification Services (AVS) and Card ID Verification (CVC), including CVV2 for Visa, CVC2 for MasterCard® and CID for American Express, is available for our online merchants to apply as part of their order screening process. With our service, merchants can automatically screen and process transactions through our platform in real-time, empowering them to act immediately to manage online fraud.
CVC validates the security code found on the back of the credit card, which can be used to confirm that the purchaser has the physical card in hand.
AVS — unbundled solution for North American card checks
AVS helps to screen fraudsters by comparing the billing address provided by the purchaser to the billing address on the cardholder’s credit card statement.
Our standalone service is designed to help global Internet merchants mitigate cardholder chargebacks and credit card fraud from North American cardholders. The benefits and information provided as part of this solution arm merchants in their fight to maximize online sales, and mitigate risk.
