Is the security number on the reverse of a credit or debit card validated?

There are no validation routines that check the CVV or CVC security codes. Only the card issuer can validate their cards' security data.

With Bank Wizard for Card Payments, you can request this number if it is a requirement for your business. However, storing this information may breach the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. (PCIDSS)
