Credit Card Security Number

In order to ensure you are the person who actually has the card, and the card number has not been stolen from a database, e3 requires you to enter a number imprinted on your credit card which is known as a CID number, CVV, CVV2 or Card Security Code number for verification purposes.

Why do we ask for this? Basically it is fraud prevention for us. By limiting the amount of fraud processed by us we can lower our costs, which results in lower costs for you the customer.
