Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to type my credit card number here?
Yes. The validation runs 100% in your browser. We never transmit, store, or log your card numbers. You can even use the tool while offline.
What does the tool check?
It checks the card format (Luhn algorithm/Mod 10), identifies the card network (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.), and verifies the IIN/BIN prefix.
Does it check if the card is active?
No. Mathematical validation only proves the number is possible and valid. It cannot check if the account is active, has funds, or is blocked. Only a transaction can do that.
What is the checksum?
The last digit of a credit card number is a checksum calculated from the other digits. If you typo a digit, the checksum won't match, and the validator will catch it.
