About the BIN Code Database
This database contains 324,638 BIN codes spanning 231 countries. A BIN (Bank Identification Number), also called an IIN (Issuer Identification Number), is the first 6–8 digits of any payment card number. These digits tell payment processors which bank issued the card, what network it runs on, whether it is a credit, debit or prepaid card, and which country it is registered in — all before a transaction is authorised. Use the search box above to find a specific country, or click any country card to browse its BINs. You can also check individual BINs instantly with the BIN Checker.
