FakecreditcardAbout BIN 498706
BIN 498706 is listed as a Visa Prepaid Business debit card issued by Ecobank Zimbabwe, Ltd. in Zimbabwe. 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.
Ecobank Zimbabwe, Ltd. has fewer than ten BINs in our data, so it has no bank page.
Zimbabwe has 148 BINs in the dataset; among the 136 that name an issuer, the main networks are Visa (55%), Mastercard (45%), and 74% are debit. See the Zimbabwe BIN list.

Frequently asked questions
Which bank issued BIN 498706?
BIN 498706 is registered to Ecobank Zimbabwe, Ltd. in Zimbabwe. Bank details can change after mergers or portfolio sales, so confirm with the bank for anything important.
Is 498706 a debit or a credit card BIN?
It is recorded as debit, product level Prepaid Business. 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 498706 have?
Visa card numbers have 16 digits (13 and 19 also allowed), and the security code is a 3-digit CVV2 on the back. The first six digits are the BIN, the last digit is the Luhn check digit, and the digits in between identify the account.
Can I generate test card numbers with BIN 498706?
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 Ecobank Zimbabwe, 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.
