American Express Company BINs by network
American Express card first 6 digits
The first 6 digits of a card number are its BIN (bank identification number): they tell a checkout that American Express Company issued the card, on which network, and whether it is debit or credit. In our data, American Express cards start like this:
- American Express (211 BINs): mostly 3743 (43), 3490 (29), 3725 (24), 3723 (19). Examples: 340000, 370686, 372335, 374341.
The first 6 digits only identify the issuer and card type; they say nothing about whether a card is real or active. Look up any prefix with the BIN checker.

Frequently asked questions
Which card networks does American Express issue?
In our data American Express Company has 211 BINs: American Express (211 BINs). 15% are debit ranges and 85% credit ranges.
What are the first 6 digits of a American Express card?
The first 6 digits are the BIN. American Express Company BINs include 340000, 371760, 374301; the table above lists all of them. A BIN identifies the bank and card type, never a person or an account.
How do I contact American Express?
The BIN data lists the website www.americanexpress.com and the phone number +18005284800. Card networks register these details with the BIN and banks change them over time: for anything about your own card, use the phone number printed on the back of the card or the bank’s official app.
Can I make a real, usable American Express card number from a BIN?
No. A number built from a BIN passes format checks (prefix, length and the Luhn check digit), but no bank issued it, so every real payment with it is declined. To test a checkout use your payment gateway’s sandbox test cards; to pay online without exposing your card, ask American Express or another issuer for a virtual card.
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.
