The Security Of Your Information Is Our Greatest Concern

Entering your CID or CVV on a Medword order form is in keeping with its intended use. This is just one reason why your card-issuing bank has included this number on your card.

Visa and MasterCard Holders
	CVV2: A new Three-Digit Value: An important new security feature for card-not-present transactions now appears on the back of most Visa cards. This new feature is a three-digit value which provides a cryptographic check of the information embossed on the card. CVV2's Location: The CVV2 three-digit value is printed on the signature panel on the back of Visa cards immediately following the Visa card account number. The CVV2 value helps validate two things: 1. The Customer has a Visa card in his/her possession. 2. The Card account is legitimate. CVV2 is printed only on the back of Visa cards--it is not contained in the magnetic stripe information, nor does it appear on sales receipts.

American Express Card Holders
The Card Identification Number is the 4 digit, non-embossed number printed above your account number on the face of your card. This number is recorded as an additional security precaution. Private Payment User? Please use the CID from your issued American Express Card. If your AMEX account number does not have a plastic card associated with it, then you do not have a Card Identification number. In this case, you should enter the last 4 digits of your AMEX account number in the Card Identification number field in order for your transaction to be processed.
