What is a BIN?
The BIN (Bank Identification Number), also called IIN, is the first 6 to 8 digits of a payment card. It tells you which network the card runs on, which bank or company issued it, the card type and level, and the issuer's country. It does not reveal anything about the cardholder.
What people use it for
- Checking whether a card is debit, credit or prepaid before paying for a service.
- Seeing which bank or program really issues a crypto or virtual card.
- Understanding why a website declined a card (some sites block prepaid or foreign cards).
- Spotting mismatches between a card and the country it claims to be from.

Questions people ask
Is it safe to use this BIN checker?
Yes. Only the first 6 to 8 digits are sent, they are not saved or logged, and the page never asks for the full card number, expiry date or CVV.
Why does the result show "Not in our list"?
New BINs are issued all the time, especially for crypto and virtual cards. When a BIN is not in the list we still show the network from the number ranges. You can report a missing BIN through our report form.
Can a BIN tell me if a card is a crypto card?
Not by itself, because crypto cards are issued by ordinary banks and programs. When our team has confirmed that a BIN belongs to a crypto card we list, the result links to that card.
Should I enter 6 or 8 digits?
Enter 8 if you can. Since 2022 many networks use 8-digit BINs, so 8 digits give a more precise match. If there is no 8-digit match we fall back to the first 6.
How accurate is the data?
The list comes from a public BIN database and covers hundreds of thousands of ranges, but banks reassign BINs over time. Treat the result as a guide and confirm details with the card issuer.
Data: about 343,056 BIN ranges from binlist-data (Ian Nuttall, CC BY 4.0).
