Enhanced Data
2min
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
