bin_length
and pagos_bin_length
fields?bin_length
field is populated directly from the network when the data is available.
pagos_bin_length
is a Pagos-specific field. We populate this field for all cards using our own logic, taking into consideration the bin_min and bin_max ranges and calculating the actual bin length for the range from those values.
pagos_bin_length
is very helpful in determining whether more collecting digits would benefit your business. There are use cases (e.g. US pinless debit routing or network tokenization) where the networks have meaningful differences between issuers and supported features that vary at the 9th or 10th digit.
shared_bin
indicator mean?shared_bin
field will be set to true.
bin_min
and bin_max
values?card_brand
and product_name
will be different. To create a unique identifier, you should concatenate the bin_min
, bin_max
, and network
fields together.
You can also use the card_brand_is_additional
field to identify primary vs. secondary networks. You should see one primary (false) and one or more additional (true) networks. In our API response, we provide a helpful ranking based on our logic, which places the big global networks (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover, JCB, Unionpay) as primary and other network enablements as additional. In the BIN batch file, this preference is left in order to support as many use cases as possible.
