FakecreditcardAbout BIN 606097
In our BIN data, 606097 is a Maestro Standard debit card range that belongs to Pan African Building Society, registered in Zambia. 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). Standard marks an entry-level consumer product.
Pan African Building Society has fewer than ten BINs in our data, so it has no bank page.
Across Zambia, the dataset counts 142 BINs; among the 136 that name an issuer, the main networks are Visa (68%), Mastercard (30%), Maestro (1%), and 85% are debit. See the Zambia BIN list.

Frequently asked questions
Which bank issued BIN 606097?
BIN 606097 is registered to Pan African Building Society in Zambia. Bank details can change after mergers or portfolio sales, so confirm with the bank for anything important.
Is 606097 a debit or a credit card BIN?
It is recorded as debit, product level Standard. 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 606097 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 606097?
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 Pan African Building Society, 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.
