However, to make it to 100%, you need to exclude the following from the validation list: Luhn’s Algorithm is applicable to around 95% of the cases. If the modulo is 0, the card number is validĪs per the saying “Every rule has an exception” this is no different.Find the modulo 10 of the obtained sum from step 6 80 modulo 10 = 0.
Add the obtained sum in step 5 and the dropped digit from step 1 72 + 8 = 80.Subtract 9 from all numbers bigger than 9 4 8 4 4 7 4 3 7 5 0 1 6 2 9 8.Reverse the number 2 8 2 4 8 4 6 7 7 0 5 6 1 9 4.Drop the last digit 4 9 1 6 5 0 7 7 6 4 8 4 2 8 2.It’s a checksum formula, containing a few simple steps. It’s widely used for validation of a variety of identification numbers including credit card numbers. To bring your card number validation to the next level, you can include Luhn’s Algorithm. And this is really all you need! Luhn’s algorithm It would require a masking function, returning a mask on every input value from the user. To do it quickly, you can use a masking library, such as angular2-text-mask. Below, you can see the corresponding digit for the most commonly used card brands:ĭynamic card masking with minimal librariesįor a better user experience, it’s a great thing to check the validity of the card number dynamically, every time the user types in a digit. This being said, the only unique identifier is the first digit(s) of the card. It is also possible that one brand has a range of valid card number length - for example, VISA cards can have 13 to 19 digits. By looking at the first digit, we can tell the issuer’s brand and industry (every digit from 0 to 9 is reserved for a specific industry):Ġ - ISO/TC 68 and other industry assignmentsĢ - Airlines, financial and other future industry assignmentsħ - Petroleum and other future industry assignmentsĨ - Healthcare, telecommunications and other future industry assignmentsĩ - For assignment by national standards bodiesĬard numbers can also be of different length and different spacing. The bank card number contains a lot of information for the issuer and the cardholder which we won’t look at in depth in this post.
