# UnionPay card number (`bankcard_unionpay`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Primary account number of a China UnionPay card: 16 to 19 digits that start with 62. Numbers from 622126 to 622925 are co-branded with Discover and also match bankcard_discover. The pattern sets no check digit because not all UnionPay numbers are documented to pass the Luhn check. It accepts the number without spaces or hyphens.
