# Test Credit Card Number Generator (Luhn-Valid)

> Generate Luhn-valid test card numbers for seven brands. Structurally correct, deliberately non-functional.

A test credit card number passes the Luhn checksum and matches a brand's prefix and length rules, so a checkout form accepts it as well-formed — but it is not tied to any account and will always be declined by a real payment processor. Use these to test client-side card validation and form handling.

## FAQ

### Can these numbers actually be charged?

No. They are not issued to anyone and are not linked to an account, so any real payment processor declines them. They only satisfy the format checks that run before a card ever reaches a processor.

### What is the Luhn algorithm?

A checksum that catches most single-digit typos and adjacent transpositions in a card number. Double every second digit from the right, subtract 9 from any result above 9, and the total must be divisible by 10.

### Is generating these legal?

Yes. The numbers are mathematically derived from public format rules and correspond to no real account. Payment providers publish their own equivalent test numbers for the same purpose.
