> People on here claimed it was "impossible" because of how credit cards work

Hi,

Definitely not impossible, but if you are following the ISO you might end up running out of numbers somewhat quickly or having to reuse them, which I'm not sure it's very safe. But it really comes down to how many users you will have.

The IIN (first 6 digits) are fixed and only one can be issued for each company, etc.

I built a small gem that implements the ISO if you want to have a look: https://github.com/eduardordm/iso7812
