Updated: 15th June 2016 (as an ultimate solution currently)
Please note that I even give vote up for the one is top voted, but to make it clear these are the regexps actually works i tested it with thousands of real BIN codes. The most important is to use start strings (^) otherwise it will give false results in real world!
JCB ^(?:2131|1800|35)[0-9]{0,}$ Start with: 2131, 1800, 35 (3528-3589)
American Express ^3[47][0-9]{0,}$ Start with: 34, 37
Diners Club ^3(?:0[0-59]{1}|[689])[0-9]{0,}$ Start with: 300-305, 309, 36, 38-39
Visa ^4[0-9]{0,}$ Start with: 4
MasterCard ^(5[1-5]|222[1-9]|22[3-9]|2[3-6]|27[01]|2720)[0-9]{0,}$ Start with: 2221-2720, 51-55
Maestro ^(5[06789]|6)[0-9]{0,}$ Maestro always growing in the range: 60-69, started with / not something else, but starting 5 must be encoded as mastercard anyway. Maestro cards must be detected in the end of the code because some others has in the range of 60-69. Please look at the code.
Discover ^(6011|65|64[4-9]|62212[6-9]|6221[3-9]|622[2-8]|6229[01]|62292[0-5])[0-9]{0,}$ Discover quite difficult to code, start with: 6011, 622126-622925, 644-649, 65
In javascript I use this function. This is good when u assign it to an onkeyup event and it give result as soon as possible.
function cc_brand_id(cur_val) {
// the regular expressions check for possible matches as you type, hence the OR operators based on the number of chars
// regexp string length {0} provided for soonest detection of beginning of the card numbers this way it could be used for BIN CODE detection also
//JCB
jcb_regex = new RegExp('^(?:2131|1800|35)[0-9]{0,}$'); //2131, 1800, 35 (3528-3589)
// American Express
amex_regex = new RegExp('^3[47][0-9]{0,}$'); //34, 37
// Diners Club
diners_regex = new RegExp('^3(?:0[0-59]{1}|[689])[0-9]{0,}$'); //300-305, 309, 36, 38-39
// Visa
visa_regex = new RegExp('^4[0-9]{0,}$'); //4
// MasterCard
mastercard_regex = new RegExp('^(5[1-5]|222[1-9]|22[3-9]|2[3-6]|27[01]|2720)[0-9]{0,}$'); //2221-2720, 51-55
maestro_regex = new RegExp('^(5[06789]|6)[0-9]{0,}$'); //always growing in the range: 60-69, started with / not something else, but starting 5 must be encoded as mastercard anyway
//Discover
discover_regex = new RegExp('^(6011|65|64[4-9]|62212[6-9]|6221[3-9]|622[2-8]|6229[01]|62292[0-5])[0-9]{0,}$');
////6011, 622126-622925, 644-649, 65
// get rid of anything but numbers
cur_val = cur_val.replace(/\D/g, '');
// checks per each, as their could be multiple hits
//fix: ordering matter in detection, otherwise can give false results in rare cases
var sel_brand = "unknown";
if (cur_val.match(jcb_regex)) {
sel_brand = "jcb";
} else if (cur_val.match(amex_regex)) {
sel_brand = "amex";
} else if (cur_val.match(diners_regex)) {
sel_brand = "diners_club";
} else if (cur_val.match(visa_regex)) {
sel_brand = "visa";
} else if (cur_val.match(mastercard_regex)) {
sel_brand = "mastercard";
} else if (cur_val.match(discover_regex)) {
sel_brand = "discover";
} else if (cur_val.match(maestro_regex)) {
if (cur_val[0] == '5') { //started 5 must be mastercard
sel_brand = "mastercard";
} else {
sel_brand = "maestro"; //maestro is all 60-69 which is not something else, thats why this condition in the end
}
}
return sel_brand;
}
Here you can play with it:
For PHP use this function, this detects some sub VISA/MC cards too:
/**
* Obtain a brand constant from a PAN
*
* @param string $pan Credit card number
* @param bool $include_sub_types Include detection of sub visa brands
* @return string
*/
public static function getCardBrand($pan, $include_sub_types = false)
{
//maximum length is not fixed now, there are growing number of CCs has more numbers in length, limiting can give false negatives atm
//these regexps accept not whole cc numbers too
//visa
