The CVV2 code (Visa: CVV2 - Creditcard Verification Value, Mastercard: CVC2) is a special 3 digit code printed on the back of your Credit Card, directly after the Credit Card Number.
Note: The CVN code is printed on your card; it is not raised from the surface of your card like your credit card's account number.
This code is not stored anywhere and does not get printed on receipts. Because of this it is a security enhancment against misuse of Credit Cards.
