Instant token provisioning for contactless transaction processing

Digital issuance of cards allows issuers to give real-time account access to their customers, but the static CVV2 codes associated with those cards is not always available instantly.  With the use of the Visa dCVV2 Generate service, issuers can request a dynamic CVV2, allowing for immediate token provisioning for contactless payment with their mobile device at merchant locations – without the plastic card.
