Merchants that manually key over 20% of their credit card transactions are classified as a Mail Order - Telephone Order (MOTO) merchant.

These types of transaction are also considered to be more risk to a credit card processor because most of the transactions are accomplished without the merchant ever seeing the credit card from the customer. These card transactions are never swiped through a terminal or POS system, which allows for the magnetic strip on the back of the card to be read. Most fraud occurs with these types of transactions. because the transaction is keyed in.

There are fraud detection procedures implemented by the credit card processors to limit the exposure of a merchant to losses.

They are:

1) AVS - Address Verification - The credit card terminal or software will prompt the merchant to input the first few numbers of the billing address of the purchasing credit card, and the zip code. There will be a response letting the merchant know if there is a match.

2) CVV2 - The merchant will also be prompted to input the 3 digit CVV2 number on the back of the credit card. This verifies that the customer has the card in their possession.
