CSC was originally developed in the UK as an eleven-character alphanumeric code by [[Equifax]] employee Michael Stone in 1995. After testing with the [[Littlewoods]] Home Shopping group and [[NatWest]] bank, the concept was adopted by the UK [[Association for Payment Clearing Services]] (APACS) and streamlined to the three-digit code known today. [[Mastercard]] started issuing CVC2 numbers in 1997 and [[Visa Inc.|Visa]] in the United States issued them by 2001. [[American Express]] started to use the CSC in 1999, in response to growing [[e-commerce|Internet transactions]] and card member complaints of spending interruptions when the security of a card has been brought into question.
[[Contactless payment|Contactless]] card and chip cards may electronically generate their own code, such as {{proper name|iCVV}} or a ''dynamic'' CVV.366
