Frequently asked questions

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

Type the first 6 to 8 digits into the box above or the BIN checker: it shows the issuer, network, card type and country. 0 banks from Somalia with 10 or more BINs also have a page listing all their BINs.

Which card networks are used in Somalia?

By BIN count: Mastercard 80%, Visa 20%. 93% of the ranges are debit and 7% credit.

Why do the totals differ (30 vs 30 BINs)?

The dataset holds 30 BINs registered to Somalia, but only 30 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.
