FakecreditcardAbout BIN 427863
In our BIN data, 427863 is a Visa Prepaid debit card range that belongs to ABSA Group, Ltd., registered in South Africa. Debit cards draw money directly from the cardholder's bank account, so checkouts and gateways often treat them differently from credit cards (fees, holds, recurring billing). Prepaid products are loaded with funds in advance instead of drawing on a credit line; subscription and recurring-billing flows often handle them separately.
With 104 BINs, ABSA Group, Ltd. ranks 4th among the 13 banks we list for South Africa. The ABSA Group, Ltd. BIN list shows all of them with network, type and level.
Across South Africa, the dataset counts 919 BINs; among the 811 that name an issuer, the main networks are Visa (51%), Mastercard (27%), Local brand (9%), and 46% are debit. See the South Africa BIN list or the South Africa card generator.

Which bank issued BIN 427863?

Is 427863 a debit or a credit card BIN?
It is recorded as debit, product level Prepaid. Debit cards draw money directly from the cardholder's bank account, so checkouts and gateways often treat them differently from credit cards (fees, holds, recurring billing).
How many digits does a card with BIN 427863 have?

Can I generate test card numbers with BIN 427863?
Yes. Open the generator with this BIN to create Luhn-valid numbers with expiry dates and CVVs for testing forms, validation and BIN-based rules. They are test data: not issued by ABSA Group, Ltd., linked to no account and declined by real payment systems.
Does a BIN tell me whether a card is valid?
No. A BIN describes a range of card numbers — network, issuer, country and product — not a particular card. Whether a card exists or can be charged is known only to the issuing bank. To check the format of a full number (length and check digit), use the card validator.
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.
