To answer this question, we need to understand how purchases made with a credit card work.

For purchases made in person, the card is inserted into the machine and the password entered for the purchase to be confirmed.

In online shopping, this does not happen in the same way. Thus, as it is not safe to inform the password, the CVV was created, that is, the Card Verification Code. It has three digits and allows you to inform the data for the purchase such as the card number, name printed on the card, expiration date and flag.

That way, never enter your password when shopping online, just the CVV also known as CVC, but the security code is the same.

It is important to note that this number is never recorded anywhere other than on the credit card and also does not appear on receipts after the purchase is made.

Also, it is printed on the back of the card, however, it is not embossed so that it cannot draw attention. So, in case of fraud, all you have to do is contact the Nubank Customer Service Center. Click on the recommended content below to learn more about Nubank!

Initially, the CVV of the Nubank card is on the back of the physical card and has three digits. Also, it is indicated by the name “Secutiry Code”, which translates to mean Security Code.

And you can also use the virtual card for purchases on the internet and you will have more security, because in the online version, all the numbers, including the CVV are different from the physical card.

To access the Nubank virtual card, use the Nubank application. So, enter the application and click on “My cards” and select the desired card. After that, look for the three numbers indicated by the abbreviation CVV at the bottom of the screen.

It is important to highlight that this is a personal and non-transferable number and that you should not share it as if it were public information to preserve your security.

To maintain the security of user data, therefore, you do not need to enter a password when shopping online, but simply enter the security code.

In this sense, the code adds another step of verifying the legitimacy of the information provided on the card and, thus, makes it difficult for criminals to steal card data during transactions, in addition to other types of fraud that may occur.
