 ABSTRACT

Credit card validation system (sample of master and visa card) using luhn algorithm is a
system that will serve as a more reliable and effective means of requesting and validating of
credit card. It is discovered that customers faced various problems such as queuing up
during credit request and validation, delay in processing of validation form, unavailability of
some key staff while processing card validation. This has led delay of credit card validation
and inability to complete the tedious manual process of request. This research work therefore
focused on the implementation of credit card validation system to minimize the shortcomings
of the existing system. Hence the proposed system will be develop in Software Application
which makes use of the following C# (CSHARP) as the programming language due to its user
friendliness while MYSQL is used as the back end (Database).
