Mastercard Account Validation is one of 249 APIs that [Mastercard](https://apis.io/providers/mastercard/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Account Validation, Identity Verification, and Payments. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes a getting-started guide, API documentation, code examples, a changelog, and a support channel.

The Mastercard Account Validation API service enables Mastercard customers to check that the supplied name(s) and, optionally, Card Verification Code (CVC or CVV) for an account match the account records held by the card issuer. Mastercard routes validation requests to Mastercard or Visa issuers, depending on the account type. The API response will provide status values indicating the matching results from the issuer.
