Therefore, systems that pad to a specific number of digits (by converting 1234 to 0001234 for instance) can perform Luhn validation before or after the padding and achieve the same result. The algorithm appeared in a United States Patent [ 1 ] for a simple, hand-held, mechanical device for computing the checksum.
The final (ninth) digit of the ABA routing transit number, a bank code used in the United States. The ninth digit of a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Mayo Clinic patient identification numbers used in Arizona and Florida include a trailing check digit [citation needed]. The eleventh digit of a Customs & Border Protection entry number.
Payment card numbers are composed of 8 to 19 digits, [1] The leading six or eight digits are the issuer identification number (IIN) sometimes referred to as the bank identification number (BIN). [2]: 33 [3] The remaining numbers, except the last digit, are the individual account identification number. The last digit is the Luhn check digit.
A Universal Payment Identification Code (UPIC) is an identifier (or banking address) for a bank account in the United States used to receive electronic credit payments. [1] A UPIC acts exactly like a US bank account number and protects sensitive banking information.
A typical British bank statement header (from a fictitious bank), showing the location of the account's IBAN. The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is an internationally agreed upon system of identifying bank accounts across national borders to facilitate the communication and processing of cross border transactions with a reduced risk of transcription errors.
It specifies "a numbering system for the identification of the card issuers, the format of the issuer identification number (IIN) and the primary account number (PAN)", [1] and procedures for registering IINs. [2] It was first published in 1989. ISO/IEC 7812 has two parts: Part 1: Numbering system; Part 2: Application and registration procedures
where B is the bank number (2 digits), b is the branch number (4 digits), A is the account number (7 digits) and S are digits of the suffix (2 or 3 digits). Where a bank displays the suffix as two digits, a leading zero is added to pad the suffix to three digits; i.e. BB-bbbb-AAAAAAA-SS becomes BB-bbbb-AAAAAAA-0SS.
The simplest checksum algorithm is the so-called longitudinal parity check, which breaks the data into "words" with a fixed number n of bits, and then computes the bitwise exclusive or (XOR) of all those words. The result is appended to the message as an extra word.
