Tool guide
The Luhn algorithm, also known as the "Mod 10" algorithm, was patented by IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn in 1954. It is a simple checksum formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers, such as credit card numbers, IMEI numbers, and national provider identifiers. The algorithm works by doubling every second digit starting from the right, summing the digits, and verifying if the final sum is divisible by 10.
Every credit card issuer has unique prefix ranges called Issuer Identification Numbers (IIN) or Bank Identification Numbers (BIN). For example, all Visa cards start with a 4, Mastercards typically begin with numbers in the 51-55 or 22-27 range, and American Express uses 34 or 37.
We take data privacy very seriously. Because our tool does not connect to any bank gateways (like Stripe or Authorize.net) and does not store credentials, it requires no PCI compliance. Hashing and digit summing are completed instantly inside your browser sandbox. We strictly forbid submitting real CVV codes or expiration dates.
FAQ
The validator uses the Luhn Algorithm (Mod 10), which is a mathematical formula used by major financial networks. It checks the card number structure to determine if it is mathematically valid.
No. This tool only validates the syntax and check-digit formula of the card number. It cannot check if a card has credit balance, if it is active, or verify CVV codes.
Yes. Our validator is built entirely using client-side JavaScript. No information is sent over the internet or logged on our servers. However, for maximum security, we recommend only testing with mock, test, or invalid numbers.
