Verified Credit Cards

You can use this tool to verify one or more credit or debit card numbers with multiple validation methods, including Luhn checksum verification and card scheme verification via the card's IIN. You can test the validator with 4242424242424242, or numbers from our fake credit card number generator.

Card validation is a collection of checks and protocols designed to verify the authenticity of a credit or debit card during a transaction. For businesses that want to minimize financial risks, such as fraud and chargebacks, card validation is fundamental.

You can verify that you received a new credit card by calling the issuer directly, logging into your online account, or using the issuer’s mobile app. Some card issuers use the term “verify” instead of “activate,” though they mean the same thing.
