Why do some online payment processors require the CVV code and others don’t?
In: Technology
I’ve never found an online payment system in the UK that doesn’t require your CVV, and honestly I’d find it pretty shady if they didn’t.
Then I noticed when working at an airport, that a lot of our American customers weren’t used to signing for card payments or us actually checking the signature, so maybe the requirements on processing payments are just less stringent.
We also had to insist on chip and pin over swipe and sign if their card was able to go through via chip and pin (Although we still took contact less payments which seems to sort of eliminate the point of both chip and pin and swipe and sign.)
Edit: More accurate to say ‘non European’ than American, similar issues with customers from China, India etc.
