When you tokenize a credit card in Stripe, your get a Token object back as documented here. It has a card hash that contains the funding property documented here:

Card funding type. Can be credit, debit, prepaid, or unknown

You can use this parameter to know what type of cards the customer is using and react accordingly.

The magnetic strips on the card have more information than just numbers. And coming to your problem, the user always knows what card he has , so you can directly ask the user and store that information in your database.
