Format checker for developers testing payment forms. Checks the Luhn checksum and network prefix only – it cannot and does not tell you whether a card is real, active, or has funds. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
About this tool
The Credit Card Validator checks whether a credit card number is mathematically valid using the Luhn algorithm, a standard checksum formula used across the payments industry. It tells you the card type — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, and others — based on the number prefix. It is useful for developers, QA testers, e-commerce operators, and anyone who needs to verify a card number before processing or storing it.
Reach for this tool when you are building or testing a payment form and need to confirm your validation logic works correctly. It is also handy for catching typos in manually entered card numbers before submitting to a payment gateway, saving you a failed transaction or an unnecessary API call.
How to use it
- Type or paste the credit card number into the input field.
- Spaces and dashes are accepted, so no need to strip formatting first.
- Click Validate or press Enter to run the Luhn checksum check.
- Review the result showing whether the number is valid or invalid.
- Check the detected card type displayed alongside the validation result.
- Clear the field and repeat for additional numbers as needed.
Pro tips
- Use publicly documented test card numbers like 4111111111111111 to verify the tool handles each card network correctly.
- A valid Luhn result only confirms the number is structurally correct, not that the card account actually exists or has funds.
