What does it do?

Check a card number's Luhn checksum and identify its likely card network from the number pattern.

How does it work?

SiteIndex runs the Luhn checksum algorithm against the digits you enter and matches the leading digits and length against known card network patterns.

When to use it
  • Verify a test card number passes the Luhn checksum before using it in a sandbox.
  • Confirm which network a card number pattern likely belongs to.
  • Catch a mistyped card number during manual data entry.
