"Fields" in a credit card? Whatever that means will probably depend on the credit card company. Visa is different than Master Card.

Member 9770338 28-Mar-13 9:29am

From fields I meant like "card_number, id, card holder's name" etc..
want both of visa and master card.

Okay and? You would have to go ask Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover and any others what all of their information is an how it is stored.

It will depend on what payment processor you are using.

This is very irritating...banks won't provide the transactional data as it is confidential..! need to build my own dataset..

Confidential? The data itself is confidential but not what data needs to be stored. What exactly are you trying to do? If you are using a payment processor like payapl they will have documentation as to what fields you need to provide.

well I need to check the transactional data whether it is fraudulent or not..!
and some necessary fields are transaction amount, transaction time, card number.

Again, that will depend on who your processor is. Most will be the same but some may be a little different.

Card holder's name, card number (16), expiry date (mm/yy) and security code (xxx) would be enought in most cases.
For example, some other card vendors, uses different field lengths:

Solo or Switch to Maestro uses 19 digits for card number
Laser uses 18 digits for card number
Amex cards uses 4 digits for CVC
some cards has "issue date", which has the same purpose as "CVC" field

As Ryanb mentioned, this should be included in the documentation of your card processing company.
