Perguntas frequentes
What is a BIN or IIN number?
A BIN (Bank Identification Number), also called an IIN (Issuer Identification Number), is the first 6 to 8 digits of a payment card number. It identifies the card network (such as Visa or Mastercard), the issuing bank, and the card program (credit, debit, or prepaid). Modern cards use 8-digit BINs under ISO 7812.
How many banks are covered for South Africa?
We track BIN ranges for 38 banks and card issuers with operations in South Africa, covering 3,907 BIN ranges in total.
How do I look up a South Africa bank BIN?
Select any bank from the grid on this page to see its full list of BIN ranges, card types, and supported networks. You can also enter the first 6 to 8 digits of any card directly into the lookup tool on our home page for an instant result that includes bank name, card brand, type, and validity.
Which banks issue the most BIN ranges in South Africa?
Among the issuers tracked here, FIRSTRAND BANK, LTD. (1,988), NEDBANK, LTD. (514), DISCOVERY BANK, LTD. (433), ABSA BANK, LTD. (287), and STANDARD BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA, LTD. (134) hold the largest BIN portfolios. Note that some of these totals are combined across every country the issuer operates in, since not every source registry breaks BIN counts out by country.
How can I tell if a BIN is for a credit or debit card?
The Type column in each bank's BIN table shows whether the range is assigned to a Credit, Debit, or Prepaid card.
Why is the Category field hidden?
Category (for example Standard, Gold, Platinum, or Business) is visible to all free BINSearchLookup accounts. It is hidden on the public preview so anyone can browse BIN ranges freely, while the full card-program details remain protected against bulk scraping.
Is this BIN data updated regularly?
BIN assignments change as banks add or retire card programs. BINSearchLookup refreshes its dataset on a rolling basis from card network range registries and issuer disclosures. The last-verified date shown on each bank page reflects when that specific page was last checked. Full sourcing and cadence details are on our methodology page.
Can this page verify if a specific card is active or fraudulent?
No. A BIN identifies the issuer and card program, not an individual account or cardholder. To check whether a specific card number is valid and active in real time, for example for fraud screening, use the free lookup tool or API on our home page. This directory lists BIN ranges only.
What are BIN lookups used for in South Africa?
Merchants and payment processors use BIN lookups for fraud detection (for example, flagging cards issued in unexpected regions), transaction routing, card verification during checkout, surcharge eligibility checks (credit vs. debit), and compliance screening. Developers also use BIN data for payment gateway integration testing.
Fontes e limitações
Os dados de BIN e emissor nesta página são agregados a partir de registros de faixas das bandeiras de cartão e divulgações dos emissores, e verificados antes da publicação. Um BIN identifica o emissor e o programa do cartão, não um titular ou conta individual, portanto esta página não pode confirmar se um cartão específico está aberto, fechado ou autorizado para uma transação.
Esta página lista os bancos de acordo com as faixas de BIN que temos registradas em South Africa. Para verificar um número de cartão em tempo real, use a ferramenta de busca na nossa página inicial. Fontes completas e a frequência de atualização estão documentadas na página de metodologia.
