About BIN 538636
BIN 538636 is listed as a Mastercard Prepaid Reloadable debit card issued by Heritage and People's Choice, Ltd. in Australia. 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.
Heritage and People's Choice, Ltd. has 16 BINs in the dataset, which makes it 27th of 36 banks with a BIN page in Australia. The Heritage and People's Choice, Ltd. BIN list shows all of them with network, type and level.
Australia has 2,688 BINs in the dataset; among the 1,934 that name an issuer, the main networks are Visa (38%), Mastercard (24%), American Express (14%), and 33% are debit. See the Australia BIN list or the Australia card generator.

Can I generate test card numbers with BIN 538636?
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 Heritage and People's Choice, 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.
