What is BIN?
Reading comprehension
Credit card BIN refers to the Bank Identification Number, abbreviated as BIN, which is the identification code of the issuing bank. The credit card BIN number is represented by a 6-digit number, appearing in the first 6 digits of the card number, and is assigned by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to various bank card organizations engaged in interbank transactions. The credit card number generally consists of the following three parts: the issuer identification code (BIN number), the issuer's custom bits, and the check code.
For more information, please refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_identification_number
The Bank Identification Number can tell you the name of the issuing bank, the type of card (such as debit card or credit card), and the brand of the card, such as Visa, Mastercard, and the card's level.

Is there a way to check if a BIN belongs to a certain bank? I have collected information on thousands of banking institutions, but I cannot guarantee its accuracy.
Query method: binlist.aivvm.com + BIN NUMBER
Example: https://binlist.aivvm.com/529774
Can you find out if the issuing bank of this card is searchable for this institution or country?
How to create value?
Collecting some information can have unexpected uses.
Some people may ask, what is the use of this thing?
When we find that a certain BIN or BUG BIN can be used to get a 30-day trial of a website, we can use it unlimitedly.
The generation rules of credit cards [Luhn algorithm, similar to ID cards also have check codes, etc.] If you are interested, you can Google it yourself.
A randomly generated set of BINs can be used for unlimited free trials [protecting privacy, hahaha]
Website for randomly generating BINs: https://namso-gen.com/?tab=basic&network=random
Of course, this is just generated information, and there is also an address for card verification.

You can test the card's activity here.
The so-called BIN attack is to test whether a website's service can be passed with a certain BIN [18 digits + DATA + RND CVV]
As long as a website's payment gateway can recognize this BIN NUMBER, it is equivalent to getting something for free without spending money.
If it turns out that this card number actually belongs to someone, it may mean that you have helped them pay for free.
So do you know any clever uses?
For example, when Chatgpt was just released, a certain BIN could be linked to get a free $120 worth of 3.5 API, using this method.
For example, the BIN for copilot was also discovered, allowing a 30-day free trial.
There are various clever uses to explore on your own [until a website blacklists this BIN, considering you all as blacklisted users, of course, blacklisting is not the only risk control method, such as IP, fingerprints, browsers, operating systems, etc.].
