What Is Credit Card Verification?

Credit card verification checks if a credit card number is real. This is important as more money transactions happen online, making security crucial.

Credit card numbers follow certain rules. Advanced algorithms can verify these numbers without needing to contact the card company. Our online credit card checker lets you verify a credit card anytime and anywhere with internet access, all in just a few seconds.

How Does Our Credit Card Validator Work?

To verify if a credit card is valid, follow these steps:

1. Open the Credit Card Validator.
2. Enter the credit card number in the provided section.
3. Click on the "Validate Now" button.
4. The tool will check if the credit card is genuine.

Our credit card checker uses the advanced Luhn Algorithm to cross-check the following information and display the authentication status:

• Luhn Algorithm Check
• Major Industry Identifier (MII)
• Bank Name
• Bank Identification Number (BIN/IIN)
• Primary Account Number (PAN)
• Network/Brand
• Checksum

If the result shows the card number is valid, you can confidently proceed with the transaction. If it's invalid, avoid completing the transaction and ask for another form of payment to prevent fraud.

How to Interpret the Credit Card Validator Results?

Understanding these terms will help you read the credit card verification report:

• Major Industry Identifier (MII): The first digit of the credit card number, indicating the industry of the card issuer:
  • 0: ISO / TC 68 and other industry duties
  • 1: Airlines
  • 2: Airlines, finance, and other future industry duties
  • 3: Travel and leisure
  • 4: Banking and finance
  • 5: Finance and banking

  • 8: Healthcare, telecommunications, and other future industry tasks
  • 9: For the appointment of national standards bodies
• Bank Name: The financial institution that issued the card.
• Bank Identification Number (BIN/IIN): The first six digits of the card, identifying the issuing bank.
• Primary Account Number (PAN): The unique credit card number, excluding the MII and BIN.
• Network/Brand: The payment processing network, like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.
• Checksum: The last digit of the card number, validating the entire number using a mathematical algorithm like the Luhn Algorithm.

If the Luhn Algorithm Check fails, the tool will display "Your credit card is invalid." If it succeeds, you'll see "Your credit card is valid."

How Does the Luhn Algorithm Validate Credit Card Numbers?

The Luhn Algorithm, also known as the MOD 10 algorithm, is used to validate credit card numbers. Developed by Hans Peter Luhn at IBM, this algorithm works as follows:

Example: Validating the Credit Card Number 347609692102916

1. Check Digit: Take the last digit (6), which is the check digit.
2. Sequence: Use the rest of the number (34760969210291).
3. Double Every Other Digit: From the right, double every other digit: 3, 8, 7, 12, 0, 18, 6, 18, 2, 2, 0, 4, 9, 2.
4. Sum the Digits: Sum the digits of the products (12 = 1 + 2 = 3, and 18 = 1 + 8 = 9).
5. Total Sum: Add all digits together: 3 + 8 + 7 + 3 + 0 + 9 + 6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 9 + 2 = 64.
6. Multiply by 9: Multiply the total by 9: 64 * 9 = 576.
7. Check the Last Digit: Take the last digit of the result (6). If it matches the check digit, the number is valid.

Our credit card checker uses the Luhn Algorithm to determine if a credit card number is valid.

2. Sum the digits of the products: (12 = 1 + 2 = 3, and 18 = 1 + 8 = 9).
3. Add all the digits together: 3 + 8 + 7 + 3 + 0 + 9 + 6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 6 = 70.
