What’s a Bank Identification Number (BIN) and why exactly should you care?

A Bank Identification Number, also referred to as an Issuer Identification Number (IIN). It refers to the first six digits that go to making up the card number that appears on the face of every credit, debit, gift, or stored value card out in circulation. Card numbers are regularized according to international standards to ensure that no two cards on the planet will happen to share a similar bank card number.

Now, bank card or payment card numbers will run up to a maximum of 19 digits, but what you should take note of here are the first 6 digits – the Bank Identification Number (BIN). These numbers specifically identify the issuer of any particular card held by any subscriber worldwide. What this means is that if a card was issued in the United States of America for example, and is presented for processing in any other country, this fact will be readily and immediately discernible.

Benefits of using our app

Our BIN checker tool offers a four-fold advantage.

  • Verification . Should you be working within an industry with an international clientele, say, for instance, an online marketplace providing shipping, you really need to have a way of knowing if a prospective client is from the country they claim to be from. Owing to the fact that these types of transactions will take place online, with the only directly and immediately verifiable information being provided being the bank card number, prudence will dictate that the vendor take whatever means are available towards identifying red flags in client information. Prevention will always be better than cure, in our opinion.
  • 2. Validation Many fraudsters rely on the time-span taken card acceptance and validation to make a clean getaway, leaving vendors running a loss. Online marketplaces allow for nearly instantaneous transfers of money and goods ownership, meaning that the ability to assess the validity of any Issuer Index Number (IIN) that is processed within your system would go a long way in upholding system security.
  • 3. Security and Privacy As an integral part of the services we provide, the privacy and security of those who make use of our checker tools are guaranteed. We neither store, nor view, nor share any information or data that is run through our BIN search app. We entirely appreciate and share in the emphasis you place on discretion and our products reflect that with complete fidelity.
  • 4. Ultimate convenience and simplicity We strove to make this tool as straightforward and functional as possible, keeping in mind the fact that our users are more likely than not better occupied with what will come next once they have received the results of their BIN lookup.
