Yes. A credit card security code is equivalent to the CVV. Both terms refer to the three-of-four-digit code listed on your credit card, which is used as a security measure in processing card-not-present transactions (CNP). Confusion sometimes arises because the security code has multiple names. For example, while Visa refers to the code as CVV, Mastercard uses the term CVC (card verification code), and American Express uses the term CID (card identification code). Each code serves the same function and purpose in safeguarding credit card information regardless of the name.
