Find My Bin has developed a service to identify bank card details by BIN. Based in Dallas, Texas, the company was founded in 2016 by a group of young programmers and has been providing a great service to anyone for free ever since. Our service is available worldwide.

We treat electronic payments and contactless cards as something commonplace. The rapid breakthrough of technology has brought banking services to a new, cloud-based level. At times they ask for a BIN before paying online/offline. Rare card user thinks about how it works, why exactly his "plastic" allows the terminal to link data to the contents of the account. But it is interesting, isn't it?

Bank Identification Number (BIN) is a combination of digits, starting with the card number (if you read it in the usual way), required to identify the issuer. This cipher should not be confused with the customs classifier (BI), an abbreviation for binary text.

What does the BIN consist of?

The development of technology has made life easier not only for ordinary users but also for crooks. To get access to someone else's account, you need a triad: the card number and period of use, the holder's data, CVV. Possessing even part of these data (for example, the front side) can cause significant damage to the user.

This is why only robots are allowed to ask for a card number when making an online payment. But sometimes a person has to be convinced that the transaction is secure. In this case he may be asked to give his BIN number. Only 6 digits: obviously not enough to access your account. What does this cipher have to say?

Six digits give the following information:

- 1 digit - payment system: 3 - (AM) American Express, 4 - Visa, 5 - MasterCard, 6 - Maestro, China UnionPay - 6;

- 2-4 digits - issuing bank and state where the card is issued.

- Type (credit or deposit) and type (Classic, Gold, Standard, Maestro, Electron, Platinum) of BPC.

How to check BIN?

You can use Find My Bin service to get the information you want. It is enough to enter the number, convince the system that you are not a robot - and that's it.

What else do you need to know about the card data?

So, at most, what is acceptable to callers is the BIN of the card. It is important to understand that fraudsters may have all the data except the CVV or the expiration date. Other information on the card (for example, the numbers under the name and patronymic) is completely unnecessary to the user. But you can't give it to other people: it's forbidden by the rules.
