How do I find which bank issued a card from Canada?
Type the first 6 to 8 digits into the box above or the BIN checker: it shows the issuer, network, card type and country. 55 banks from Canada with 10 or more BINs also have a page listing all their BINs.
Which card networks are used in Canada?
By BIN count: Private label 79%, Visa 7%, Mastercard 6%, Maestro 4%. 85% of the ranges are debit and 15% credit.
Why do the totals differ (16,234 vs 14,375 BINs)?
The dataset holds 16,234 BINs registered to Canada, but only 14,375 name the issuing bank; the rest are listed with a network or a processor only. This page counts the ranges with a named issuer.
Can a BIN be turned into a real, usable card number?
No. Numbers generated from a BIN pass format checks but no bank issued them, so real payments are declined. Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards for checkout tests.
A BIN identifies the card network and the issuing institution only. It reveals nothing about an individual card,
cardholder or account, and it cannot show whether a card exists or can be charged. Test numbers generated from a BIN are for
development and QA only and are declined by every real payment system.
