The Secure Card BIN Information Retrieval API is a powerful solution designed to improve the security and reliability of online transactions by delivering accurate, real-time information about credit cards based on their Bank Identification Number (BIN). As a critical component in e-commerce and financial services, this API helps mitigate fraud risks and safeguard the integrity of digital transactions.
At its core, the Secure Card BIN Information Retrieval API uses the first six digits of a credit card—the BIN—to retrieve key details about the issuing institution. This includes information such as the bank name, country of origin, card type, and more. By accessing this data, businesses can make informed decisions about the validity of a transaction, strengthening defenses against potential fraud.
Be able to validate any credit card based on its BIN number (first 6 digits).
Receive data from the Credit Card, CC Issuer, Card Type, Card Level, Card Brand, Issuer Country, and more.

The API allows developers to validate and verify credit card information using the bank identification number (BIN). By providing the first six digits of a credit card, you can verify whether it is a valid credit card or not.
The API follows a secure approach by only requiring the Bank Identification Number (BIN), which consists of the first six digits of a credit card. This approach avoids the need to transmit or store sensitive credit card details.
The API response includes detailed information about the credit card. This includes information such as the validity of the card (whether it is valid or not), the level of the card (e.g., fleet purchase), the currency associated with the card, and the country of issuance.
To access the API, you need to make an HTTP POST request to the API endpoint, providing the first six digits of the credit card (BIN) as a parameter. The API will then respond with a JSON object containing the requested information about the credit card, including its validity, issuing bank details, and location information. You can integrate this API into your application or system to leverage its functionality and enhance your credit card processing capabilities.
The BIN Checker endpoint returns a JSON object containing details about the credit card associated with the provided BIN. This includes the card's validity, brand, type, level, issuing bank name, country of issuance, and contact information for the issuer.
Key fields in the response data include `isValid` (indicating card validity), `card_brand` (e.g., MASTERCARD), `card_type` (e.g., DEBIT), `issuer_name_bank`, `iso_country_name`, and `iso_country_code`. These fields provide essential information for transaction validation.
The response data is structured in a JSON format. It includes a `status` code, a `success` boolean, a `message`, and a `data` object containing detailed information about the credit card, making it easy to parse and utilize in applications.
The BIN Checker endpoint provides information such as the card's validity, brand, type, level, issuing bank details, and the country of issuance. This data helps in assessing the legitimacy of credit card transactions.
The primary parameter for the BIN Checker endpoint is the BIN itself, which consists of the first six digits of a credit card. Users must ensure that the BIN is numeric and valid to receive accurate results.
Data accuracy is maintained through the use of comprehensive and regularly updated databases that track BIN information. The API cross-references the provided BIN with these databases to ensure reliable results.
Typical use cases include fraud prevention during online transactions, validating credit cards in payment gateways, ensuring authenticity for subscription services, and securing e-commerce transactions by verifying card details at the point of purchase.
Users can utilize the returned data to make informed decisions about credit card transactions. For example, if `isValid` is false, they can flag the transaction for further review or decline it, enhancing security and reducing fraud risk.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
