BIN Checker
Look up a card's issuing bank, network, type and country from its BIN/IIN.
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to our servers.
What is a BIN/IIN?
The Bank Identification Number (BIN), also called the Issuer Identification Number (IIN), is the first 6 digits of a payment card number. It identifies the issuing bank, the card network (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, …), the card type (credit, debit, prepaid) and the issuing country — before the rest of the card number that identifies the individual account.
Why use this tool
The issuer lookup is proxied through our server to the free binlist.net API — unlike the formatters elsewhere on this site, that request does leave your device, so only the first 6 digits are ever sent, never a full card number. Useful for validating test card ranges, debugging a payment integration, or checking which network and country a BIN belongs to.
How to use it
- Enter a BIN (6 digits) only digits are used.
- Press "Look up issuer" to fetch network, type, brand, country and bank.
