Binlist
App · 1 action
Look up a payment card from its first 6 to 8 digits (its BIN): the card network, debit or credit, the card brand, whether it is prepaid, the country it was issued in and the issuing bank. Handy for fraud checks and for routing payments. No account or API key required.
Look up card
Find out about a payment card from its first 6 to 8 digits: the network (Visa, Mastercard...), whether it is debit or credit, the card brand, whether it is prepaid, the country it was issued in and the issuing bank. Useful for spotting prepaid or foreign cards before accepting a payment. Unknown digits come back with 'found' set to false rather than failing the step. No API key required.
Inputs

card_numbertextRequired - The first 6 to 8 digits of the card. Spaces and hyphens are fine. You can paste a whole card number: only its first 8 digits are sent.
