Credit Card question

It's the numbers on the back usually by the signature line. It's there so you in theory actually have to have the credit card in hand to buy something by phone or on line. Just plugging in numbers won't work.
They usually add in billing addresses as well for an extra layer.

I can only comment on Visa, but no, my CVC code does not appear anywhere on my Visa statement. It is not shown or hidden anywhere.
MissCroft is asking if the CVC code is shown somewhere on the statement, not the card. The card is lost.
Sorry but the only place the CVC2 (Card Verification Code-Mastercard) is printed is on the actual signature stripe of the card itself. It is not on your statement,online profile nor accessible by bank employees.
A good habit to write down all the numbers on the credit card on a piece of paper (or whatever) and keep that paper next to your mom's favourite recipe.
It's like a card identity. If you can't provide it when doing purchase over the phone, it means you don't have it or possibly not yours. People can simply take a picture of your card. Or a statement from trash with your card number. It's for your own protection.
Your best bet is contact your bank, tell them you've misplaced the card, cancel it, and get a new one.
Yes, I know. The reason I haven't done that is because I know I misplaced it somewhere in my house. I keep figuring it'll turn up.
If you are 100% sure it's in your home then you're safe from it being used and don't need to cancel. Hope you find it.

I would cancel it.....it will take minimal time to get another, and the risk isn't worth it.
The CVC code is not any good without the credit card, unless you're making a internet purchase and you have the credit card number from the statement. Some internet purchases don't require you to provide the CVC code. But as others have said, report your credit card lost just in case...
You'll find it after you've given up, requested and received a new card. That's what happen when I misplaced my GST rebate cheque.
