That would require additional coding to detect whether the card
number entered is indeed a Visa or a MasterCard.  Perhaps you could
write a custom profile value check function.

For your information:

    MasterCard:
        Number length: 16
        Number prefix: 51, 52, 53, 54 or 55

    Visa:
        Number length: 13 or 16
        Number prefix: 4

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. :-)
