    (Terminal Type must be "E-Commerce Transactions CVV2" OR
    "Mail Order/ Telephone Order CVV2")
  5. Select the "CVV2 Filters" tab
  6. From the CVV2 list, select the checkboxes of the responses for which you would like the filter to drop the transaction
  7. Click "Update"

Example 1: To reject all transactions where the "N" response was returned, select the "CVV2 Does Not Match" checkbox.

Example 2: To reject all transactions where the "N" and "U" responses are returned, select the "CVV2 Does Not Match" and "Merchant indicated that CVV2 is not present on card" checkboxes.

Please note that not all banks return a response when cardholder verification data is sent and a filter will not cover this situation.
