I’m running into a particular problem that I’m not able to solve. I need to be able to identify if a provided. Credit card number is a real card number or a virtual card number. To be clear - I just need to know if the card is a virtual card. Is there any API service out there that can provide provide this information?: Real-World Example: Let’s say you have a real Bank of America Visa card. You go to the BoA app and generate a virtual card • primary/real card: 4111 1111 1111 1111 Virtual card (temporary): 5278 3412 9182 4470 Why Fraudsters Use Virtual Cards They can create many cards quickly using stolen or fake data Each card works long enough to pay fraud
