Can credit card type be determined solely from the credit card number?
Is this recommended or should we always ask client for the type of credit card they're using?
I Googled about it and found this algorithm: http://cuinl.tripod.com/Tips/o-1.htm , is this reliable?
https://binlist.net/ offers a free API. You only need to enter the first 6 or 8 digits of the card number - i.e. the Issuer Identification Numbers (IIN), previously known as Bank Identification Number (BIN).
