}What you get
An API for the card behind any six digits.
Lookup by BIN
Send the first six or eight digits and get the card's brand, type, level, country and issuer back.
Issuer details
The issuing bank's name, website and phone number, for customer support and dispute work.
Search the range table
Search BIN ranges by IIN, by issuing country or by issuer, and list issuers with how many ranges each holds.
New BINs resolved
A BIN we have not seen is resolved from an external source and stored, so the next lookup is instant.
Bulk range import
Import BIN ranges in bulk as schemes publish them, so the table stays current.
Public API
A plain HTTPS endpoint with JSON back, so any service in your stack can use it.
How it works
From six digits to an answer.
Send six digits
Call the lookup endpoint with a BIN of six digits or more, or let checkout do it as the customer types.
We resolve it
The BIN is matched against our range table first and resolved from an external source when it is new, then kept for next time.
Use it anywhere
Use the answer in checkout, support tools, risk models or reporting, in any service that can make an HTTPS call.
Works with
Questions teams ask before they switch.
A BIN, or IIN, is the first six to eight digits of a card number. It identifies the bank that issued the card and the kind of card it is, without identifying the cardholder.
