BIN lookup

Type the first 6 to 8 digits, with spaces allowed and anything after the eighth digit ignored.

Never type a whole card number because the page sends only the first eight digits, and a BIN on its own does not identify a card or a person.

About the data

The answers come from an open list of 343,063 BINs compiled from public sources and shared under an open licence. It is not an official register, its author says it is not perfect, and it was last updated in 2020. The list has 3,548 8-digit BINs, so newer card ranges can be missing or out of date, and a lender calls a BIN data provider kept up to date for live payment decisions.

What a BIN lookup shows

A BIN is the first digits of a card number and identifies a range of cards. This lookup uses the first 6 to 8 digits to show the brand, debit or credit, card level, issuing bank and country held in the list.

A payments or credit team can review the result alongside other details in a payment or application decision. A BIN describes a card range, so the result is about the range rather than the person using the card.
