Visa, MasterCard and Discover Cards
Back view of a Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Card     Turn the card over and look at the signature box. You will find either the entire 16-digit credit card number or just the last 4 digits, followed by the 3-digit CSC.


American Express Cards
Front view of a American Express Card     The CSC is always located above the account number on the face of the card, sometimes on the left side and sometimes on the right. Note: Some American Express cards have a 4-digit number below the account number. This is not the CSC.
