How do I find which bank issued a card from France?
Type the first 6 to 8 digits into the box above or the BIN checker: it shows the issuer, network, card type and country. 36 banks from France with 10 or more BINs also have a page listing all their BINs.
Which card networks are used in France?
By BIN count: Visa 62%, Mastercard 23%, Maestro 5%, American Express 5%. 45% of the ranges are debit and 55% credit.
Why do the totals differ (3,976 vs 3,028 BINs)?
The dataset holds 3,976 BINs registered to France, but only 3,028 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.
