How Does Credit Card Checker Work | Understanding the Luhn Algorithm

Our credit card validator uses a number of different steps and methods to verify the provided credit card numbers. One of the main steps utilized by our tool is the Luhn algorithm.

The Luhn algorithm is a series of computations and calculations that are performed on a provided number to see if it conforms to a particular condition. Here is a detailed breakdown of the various steps that the Luhn algorithm comprises of.

1. First of all, every second digit (starting from the right) is doubled (multiplied by 2). If the result of this calculation for any number exceeds 9, the two digits are added together (for example 6 x 2 = 12 => 1 + 2 = 3).
2. After that, all the digits in the string are added together, i.e., the ones that have had the above calculation performed on them as well as the omitted ones.
3. If the total sum of all the numbers ends in a 0, then the Luhn algorithm is said to be satisfied.

The Luhn algorithm is one of the many steps through which a CC number can be verified. Other than that, our credit card checker also:

• Checks the MII digit to ensure that it matches with an existing industry
• Checks the BIN code and matches it with the ones in the database
