About BIN 505009

BIN 505009 is listed as a Maestro debit card 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).

The dataset does not name the issuing bank for this range. That is common for ranges that are new, private or used by processors on behalf of several banks.

South Africa has 919 BINs in the dataset; 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.

Frequently asked questions

Which bank issued BIN 505009?

The dataset does not name an issuer for BIN 505009, only the country (South Africa). The network is Maestro.

Is 505009 a debit or a credit card BIN?

It is recorded as debit. 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 505009 have?

Maestro card numbers have 12 to 19 digits, and the security code is a 3-digit code (not on every card). 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 505009?

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 any bank, 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.
