Frequently asked questions

How do I find which bank issued a card from Rwanda?

Type the first 6 to 8 digits into the box above or the BIN checker: it shows the issuer, network, card type and country. 2 banks from Rwanda with 10 or more BINs also have a page listing all their BINs.

Which card networks are used in Rwanda?

By BIN count: Visa 65%, Mastercard 33%, UnionPay 1%. 74% of the ranges are debit and 26% credit.

Why do the totals differ (86 vs 81 BINs)?

The dataset holds 86 BINs registered to Rwanda, but only 81 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.
