The Security Code is required for all transactions with American Express, Discover, Visa and MasterCard. The Security Code is an added security feature used by your credit card company to protect you against online fraud. Because the Security Code number is not printed on your receipts, it helps to ensure that someone is not using your credit card information fraudulently. The digits are printed on your card, rather then engraved on the plastic like the digits of your credit card number. The Security Code is used to verify you have possession of the credit card you are attempting to use. For your safety, we only accept credit cards with a Security Code number.

Visa, MasterCard, Discover: The Security Code is a 3-digit security code printed on the back of your Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card. The number appears on the signature strip after the last four digits of your account number. The signature strip may contain your entire account number or just the last four digits of your account number. Either way, the Security Code will appear after the last four digits of your account number.

American Express: On American Express cards, the CCID is 4-digits and appears on the front of the card above your account number to the far right.

Your order will be billed as: ACCO Brands Direct on your credit card statement.
