To better understand the utility of our BIN Lookup, it is important to learn more about the BIN code and what it is.

Our BIN check tool is able to find the details of the entered BIN codes by utilizing a vast database that contains them all. The tool has access to a database that contains all the different BIN codes being used worldwide along with their details, such as the country they are based in and the bank they are issued from.
There are different types of situations that require the use of our BIN checker. For example, you may need to use it for the following:
If there is any reason for you to suspect that the card details being offered by a certain customer are fraudulent, you can use our BIN check tool to allay your concerns. Just enter the BIN code into our tool to see if the card is valid or not. You will also be able to see the other details of the credit card, such as the region where the card was issued.
Another reason to use our BIN verification tool is to gather valuable information about your customers. You can take the BIN codes of the different credit card numbers submitted by your customers and enter them into our BIN Lookup tool. This will allow you to see which region your customers tend to belong to, what type of cards they use, and so on.
With this information at hand, you will be able to adjust your marketing efforts and your inventory to make them both optimal.
It is possible that due to the design of your card (especially with custom designs), some information may not be printed on it. You may not be able to instantly tell whether a card is VISA or AMEX, etc., or whether it’s a Classic or Gold.
Our tool will help you find all of that information in a jiffy. You can simply enter the BIN code of the card number and get all the data you need.
Usually, most CC numbers are 16 digits long. In these numbers, the first six digits make up the BIN code. On the other hand, some CC numbers are 20 digits long, while others can be 18 digits long. In cases like these, the BIN can be the first eight digits instead of six.
You can first try entering the first six digits of the CC number. If you get the results, that’s good. If there is an error instead, you can enter the eight digits instead.
That way, you will get to check both possibilities.
Make sure that you’re adding the BIN code accurately. If a digit is mis-input, the results could come with an error instead of showing the details.
If the details being shown for the entered BIN code are not accurate, make sure that the digits are all added correctly. If the digits are correct, a temporary issue could be causing the incorrect details to show. Try again after some time to get the correct details.
Generally, it doesn’t change and remains consistent for a bank or institution. However, there can be instances where BINs change due to acquisitions, rebranding, or other organizational changes.
No. The BIN cannot be used to identify a cardholder's personal information directly. It only details the issuing institution, card type, country, etc.
