That's what is driving my change -- I'm switching from our home-grown validator to this one. I do recognize the requirement for authoritative documentation, which is part of my problem. I'm not a direct partner with mastercard so I may not be able to dig as deeply into the MC documentation as I'd hoped some folks here might be able to. I'll keep digging and let you know. > Have they also added more digits? > If so, do they apply to all the BINs or only some? > > I believe the answers to these questions are *yes*, they've added more digits. I suspect (again, anecdotal only), that the driver for more digits is that the length of the BINs will increase. > Note that the RE for the current checks is at: > > > https://github.com/apache/commons-validator/blob/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/validator/routines/CreditCardValidator.java#L137 > > Thank you. I did find where I'd have to change the code, but I hesitate for lack of authoritative documentation. Is it possible that someone on the list may have access to better documentation than me? Meanwhile, I'll continue to dig. Regards, Bert
