PrePaid BIN Mapping
Last updated
Last updated
A BIN is a Bank Identification Number or Issuer Identification Number, which is the first six digits of a card number. These digits can be used to identify the Type of Card: each Card Type has a designated range of BINs.
BIN mapping allows you to make sure certain Card Types are directed to certain gateways.
Konnektive regularly updates its prepaid BIN list to be able to identify when a prepaid card is being used.
If you run into a scenario where Konnektive did not flag the card as a prepaid card, but you think that BIN should be marked and treated as prepaid, then you can set custom prepaid bin maps within your account.
All card BINs within the mapped bin range will be marked and treated as prepaid purchases.
For example, if you are blocking prepaid cards at the gateway or campaign level, then orders with cards in that BIN range will be blocked.
