What is a BIN Code?
BIN (Bank Identification Number) refers to the initial sequence of 4 to 8 digits that appears on a credit card. The BIN is key to the entire payment process as it identifies:
-
Issuing Bank The financial institution that issued the card.
-
Card Network Such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover.
-
Card Type Distinguishes between Credit, Debit, or Prepaid cards.
-
Country of Origin The country where the issuing bank is located.
Why Use a BIN Generator?
Developers and Quality Assurance (QA) engineers building e-commerce platforms, payment gateways, or subscription systems need standard-compliant test card numbers. Using real credit cards is neither safe nor practical for testing purposes. A BIN generator quickly produces data that complies with the Luhn algorithm (Mod 10 algorithm).
