Sorry- the last 5 digits do NOT tell anyone what type of card was used.

Visa cards START with a 4
Master Cards START with a 5

Neither of those numbers appear at the start of that number shown.

I think you will find that this is an electronic card for food stamps, which is referenced on the receipt, & the 4 digits shown are definately the LAST 4 digits. There has to be an approval code to make sure the person has that much money left in their EBT account.
