Technical Details
Our generator uses the Luhn algorithm (also known as the "modulus 10" algorithm) to create valid credit card numbers. This is the same algorithm used by actual credit card companies to validate card numbers. Each generated card includes:
- A valid card number that passes Luhn check
- Appropriate length based on card type (16 digits for most cards, 15 for American Express)
- Correct starting digits (IIN/BIN) for each card type
- Realistic cardholder names based on country format
- Future expiry dates (typically 2-5 years from current date)
- Valid CVV codes (3 digits for most cards, 4 digits for American Express)
