What is Credit Card Validation?

Credit card validation uses the Luhn algorithm to verify if a card number is mathematically valid. It also identifies the card type based on the number pattern. Examples:

  • Visa: 4111 1111 1111 1111 (test number)
  • Mastercard: 5555 5555 5555 4444 (test number)
  • American Express: 3782 822463 10005 (test number)

How It Works?

Luhn Algorithm

  1. Starting from the rightmost digit, double every second digit
  2. If doubling results in a two-digit number, add the digits
  3. Sum all the digits
  4. If the total is divisible by 10, the number is valid

Card Type Detection

Card types are identified by the first few digits (BIN - Bank Identification Number) and the total length of the card number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool safe to use?

Yes! This tool runs entirely in your browser. No card numbers are sent to our servers or stored anywhere. All validation happens locally.

Can I use this for real transactions?

This tool is for validation and testing purposes only. For real transactions, always use proper payment processors with PCI compliance.

What if a valid card number fails validation?

The Luhn algorithm catches most typos and invalid numbers. If a valid number fails, double-check for spaces, dashes, or other formatting issues.
