Overview

Beyond surface level attributes, BIN data will allow us to understand the following questions for improved ICR:

  • Can this card be used by this vendor for this purchase
    • Domestic only, Gambling blocked, Express benefit transfer
  • Error code additional mapping
    • By knowing the underlying network and bank we can go to the network to find more explicit error codes (PSPs provide a mapped view of errors)
  • Determine if card type is worth using given error code
    • Reloadable/Gift cards/Preloaded - cannot be reloaded so insufficient funds would mark this card as empty
    • Express benefit transfer - Government benefits are not eligible for many types of purchase
  • Cost reduction
    • Determine next best card to attempt (card rotator) based on BIN acceptance rates (reduce retry attempts)
    • Understand expected cost of using this BIN (network fees vary by BIN)
  • Dispute and Fraud monitoring
    • Fraud rules will differ by issuer
    • Disputes rate differ by BIN
  • Success and error rates correlation between API messages and BIN
    • Absence or presence of API values by PSP will correlate with higher or lower success rates
  • Banking rules
    • Specific countries will have varying rates of success by BIN
    • Specific currencies will have different success rates by BIN
