You need a BIN table from each of the schemes to know for sure. People
often think the 4=Visa 5=MasterCard, but this is not accurate.
As an acquirer, you will be firing your requests into the scheme
directly or via another interface, you might not need to know? But it
will depend on how you talk to the scheme network.

I don't believe this is possible from the content of the card. I
thought of the Extended Service code (3 digits following expiry date in
track), but only because for debit, the second character *should* be 2
or 4. I think the same detail will be in the BIN table...
... the BIN (first 6 digits of PAN) table will hold indicators like
credit/debit amongst others. Speak to you network acquirer or scheme if
connecting direct, they should be able to help.
