Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Luhn algorithm work?
The Luhn algorithm validates card numbers using a checksum formula. Starting from the right, every second digit is doubled. If the result is greater than 9, subtract 9. Sum all digits - if divisible by 10, the number is valid.
Are test card numbers safe to use?
Yes, test card numbers are specifically designed for testing and will never be charged. They pass validation but are not connected to real accounts. Always use test cards for development.
What card brands are supported?
Supports Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club, UnionPay, and Maestro with their specific formatting and validation rules.
Does this tool store card information?
No, all validation happens client-side in your browser. No card information is transmitted to servers or stored anywhere. The tool is designed for privacy and security.
Can I validate expiry dates and CVV codes?
Yes, the tool can validate expiry dates (MM/YY or MM/YYYY format) and CVV codes (3-4 digits depending on card type) when provided as additional inputs.
