Credit card payments – but secure!

You can conveniently pay for your tickets and reservations with your credit card. To do this, enter the number of your credit card, the validity date and if applicable the credit card verification number in the appropriate fields of the booking window.
We accept the following credit cards:

VISA, MasterCard, American Express, JCB and Diners Club
You can store your credit card data in "My Bahn" under "Manage my data" for fast and secure booking. If you do not want to store a credit card in your profile, you can re-enter this data for each booking.

The verification number process

Leading credit card companies such as MasterCard, American Express and VISA have agreed on an extension to credit card payments which makes payment over the internet even more secure:

Entering the credit card verification number increases the level of security for your order even further.
The credit card verification number is a 3 or 4-digit number sequence printed on your card (i.e. not a relief imprint), which unlike the name, validity period and card number is not found on normal payment documents. This additional query ensures that no credit card data obtained by deceit, e.g. from a payment document which has been thrown away, is used improperly.

The verification number is therefore not stored in our system, but has to be re-entered with every order.

Where do I find the verification number on my credit card?

MasterCard, VISA, JCB, Diners Club: The last three digits of the number in the signature area on the back of the card.
American Express: The four-digit number to the right above the imprint on the front of the card.
