Is there a way to detect the type of card i.e Debit or Credit

I need to detect the card type: Debit or Credit when the customer is on website's checkout page.

I am using the library i.e https://github.com/braintree/credit-card-type already to determine the card brand i.e Visa,Amex,Mastercard etc. But these don't provide the card type info. Is this possible at all.

// Function to detect card company based on the card number's first digits
function detectCardCompany(cardNumber) {
  // Remove non-digit characters from the card number
  const cleanedCardNumber = cardNumber.replace(/\D/g, '');

  // Determine the card company based on the first digits
  const firstDigits = cleanedCardNumber.slice(0, 6); // Consider the first 6 digits

  switch (true) {
    case /^4/.test(firstDigits):
      return require(`../../assets/social/visa.png`);
    case /^5[1-5]/.test(firstDigits):
      return require(`../../assets/social/master.png`);
    case /^3[47]/.test(firstDigits):
      return require(`../../assets/social/american.png`);
    case /^6/.test(firstDigits):
      return require(`../../assets/social/discover.png`);
    case /^30[0-5]|^36|^38|^39/.test(firstDigits):
      return require(`../../assets/social/master.png`);
    case /^35(2[89]|[3-8][0-9])/.test(firstDigits):
      return require(`../../assets/social/jcb.png`);
    case /^62/.test(firstDigits):
      return require(`../../assets/social/union.png`);
    default:
      return require(`../../assets/social/visa.png`);
  }
}

Yes, it is possible. You need to get a list of BIN (Bank Identification Numbers) which correlate to card type (debit or credit). You then can compare the BIN number, which is the first 4-9 numbers of the card, to that list which will tell you the card type.

Processors like Worldpay and Card Connect make lists like this available. I am unsure if there is a cost or not. I found this free one but you'll need to massage it a bit to consume it programmatically. This API also claims to be free.
