Understanding CVV Verification
CVV (Card Verification Value) is a three or four-digit number printed on credit and debit cards. It's used by merchants to verify transactions and reduce fraud.
Risk Control with CVV
CVV verification acts as a critical layer in risk control by ensuring that the person making the purchase has physical possession of the card. This reduces the likelihood of unauthorized use.

Best Practices for CVV Implementation
Merchants should always require CVV for online transactions. Additionally, implementing CVV checks should be part of a broader security strategy.
