Onyx GiftCards are “Open Gift Cards” which means that they can be redeemed at multiple merchant locations. They are standard credit card size, can fit into the average wallet and made of PVC plastic. Onyx GiftCards are Barcoded for security and safety for the consumer and bear a disclaimer at the back.
Onyx Giftcards can be bought with a branded Card backer which is black in colour and is designed to fit the card. There is an area to write a brief message to the recipient as well.
The CVV (Card Verification Value) is a three- or four-digit number printed on the back of MasterCard credit cards. It's used to verify that the card is in the possession of the person making the purchase.
When you make a transaction, the CVV is checked against the information stored in the card issuer's database. If the CVV matches, the transaction is approved. If not, the transaction is declined.
CVV validation helps prevent fraud by ensuring that the card is being used by the rightful owner. It's an additional layer of security for online and card-present transactions.
Your MasterCard CVV is located on the back of your card. For cards with a magnetic strip, it is the final three digits on the signature panel. For chip-enabled cards, it is on the back, on the right side of the chip.
