Which card networks are used in United Kingdom?
By BIN count: Visa 35%, Mastercard 33%, American Express 10%, Maestro 9%. 55% of the ranges are debit and 45% credit.
Why do the totals differ (7,554 vs 5,088 BINs)?
The dataset holds 7,554 BINs registered to the United Kingdom, but only 5,088 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.
