Here are important points:
Virtual Card
Virtual Cards are digital versions of real, physical cards.
You can use them instead of your actual card details when shopping online or by phone, to help prevent credit card fraud and identity theft. This helps so if there’s any security issue with the website you’re buying from, then you can simply cancel that virtual card.
You can check out the service on www.vcpay.co.za
CVV
CVV is an anti-fraud security feature to help verify that you are in possession of your credit card. For Visa/Mastercard, the three-digit CVV number is printed on the signature panel on the back of the card immediately after the card’s account number. For American Express, the four-digit CVV number is printed on the front of the card above the card account number. See example here.
