US debit cards are processed through Visa or MC.......But coming from a banking background, I know that there are ways to tell which is which based on the first 4 numbers. You can also use those numbers to determine what bank issued the card and what type of account it is issued on.
Example: 4635 are the first 4 numbers of many BofA business Check Cards.
All MasterCard's start with a 5 and all Visa's start with a 4. Discover starts with an 8 if I recall correctly......
There is a shitload of info that can be gathered from the first few numbers....
