Credit Card Validator: Securely Checking Structural Validity

The Credit Card Validator is a free, real-time tool designed to check if a credit or debit card number is structurally valid according to international standards. This process helps developers, e-commerce testers, and users catch simple data entry errors before they lead to a failed transaction.

How The Validation Process Works

Our validator performs three key checks instantly:

1. Format and Length Check: Verifies that the number matches the required length and starting prefix for major card brands (e.g., Visa starts with '4', American Express with '34' or '37').
2. Card Type Identification: It instantly identifies the Major Industry Identifier (MII) and the Issuer Identification Number (IIN), displaying the card brand (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex, etc.).
3. Luhn Algorithm Check (Modulus 10): This is the core validation step. Every legitimate credit card number in the world contains a final checksum digit. The Luhn algorithm is a simple checksum formula used to verify that the sequence of digits is mathematically correct. It is highly effective at detecting single-digit errors or transpositions (swapping two adjacent digits), which are the most common human input mistakes.

> Important Security Note: This tool ONLY checks the structural integrity and format of the number. It does not communicate with any bank, network, or financial institution. It cannot verify if the account is active, has funds, or if the card is fraudulent.
