What a BIN tells you
The Bank Identification Number (BIN), or Issuer Identification Number (IIN) in ISO/IEC 7812, is the leading part of the card number. ISO/IEC 7812-1:2017 lengthened it from six to eight digits. Since April 2022 Visa assigns only 8-digit BINs and requires acquirers and processors to handle them; Mastercard began assigning 8-digit BINs at the same time. A 6-digit prefix can therefore cover several issuers or products — enter eight digits where you have them.
The scheme, the card-number lengths and whether the number must pass the Luhn check come from the same IIN-range table the card validator uses: Visa, Mastercard (51–55, 2221–2720), American Express, Discover, UnionPay (62, 8100–8171), JCB, Diners Club (300–305, 3095, 36, 38–39), Maestro and Mir (2200–2204). Domestic schemes such as RuPay, Elo or Verve are not in that table; binlist.net may still name them.
Issuer, card type, prepaid flag and country come only from binlist.net, a free public database that is rate-limited and not complete or authoritative. Acquirers and processors use the scheme BIN tables (Visa’s ARDEF, Mastercard’s MPE) for routing and pricing.
