New Security Feature on Pay.gov Feb. 1

Beginning Feb. 1, 2007, Pay.gov will provide the judiciary an additional edit on the data submitted by attorneys. Pay.gov will validate the security code entered with the card number supplied by the attorney. The security code is the three-digit number that generally appears on the back of a credit card in the account holder signature box.

If the credit card number and security code do not match the values on file with the bank or Pay.gov, the user will receive an error message, such as:

The card security code is invalid, please re-enter the card security code.

This validation will reduce the potential for attorneys to submit transactions with transposed credit card numbers; the receipt of an error message from Pay.gov will prevent the attorney from proceeding, unless a correct security code is entered. As a result, if the Pay.gov transaction fails, the user is unable to continue with the CM/ECF transaction.
