Payment testing notes for Argentina
- Currency: ARS (Argentine peso). Most gateway APIs expect amounts in the smallest unit, for example 1050 for 10.50.
- Card country: Fraud rules often compare the BIN country (AR) with the shopper's IP address and billing address. Use a BIN from Argentina for the domestic path and a foreign BIN for cross-border rules.
- Debit vs credit: Debit makes up just 35% of the ranges here, below 48 of the other 62 countries we cover. Card type matters for surcharges, installment plans and stored-card billing: test each.
- Billing details: postcodes in Argentina are CPA: letter (province) + 4 digits + 3 letters; the older 4-digit code is still widely used (e.g. C1425ABC (or 1425)); phone numbers use +54 — 10-digit national number (area code + subscriber); mobiles are dialled +54 9 internationally.
- Installments (cuotas) are a standard credit card option at checkout.

Frequently asked questions
Can I generate an Argentina credit card number for testing?
Yes. Pick a bank from Argentina (the default is First Data Cono Sur, S.R.L, BIN 230843) and the tool builds Luhn-valid numbers on that prefix, with expiry and CVV. None of them is a real card; live payments fail.
Which card networks are most common in Argentina?
By BIN count in our data: Visa 46%, Mastercard 31%, Maestro 8%, American Express 5%. Local networks: Cabal (76 BINs). Debit ranges make up 35% and credit ranges 65%.
Which BINs do Visa cards from Argentina start with?
Examples from different banks: 404205 (Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires, S.A.); 400448 (Banco Santander Rio, S.A.); 404022 (Banco BBVA Argentina, S.A.); 404854 (Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires). See the Argentina BIN list for every bank.
Which currency should I use to test payments from Argentina?
ARS (Argentine peso). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). Also test a foreign-currency charge on an Argentina BIN: the issuer converts it, which some checkouts display differently.
Can I use a generated Argentina card number to buy something?
No. They start with real BINs from banks in Argentina such as First Data Cono Sur, S.R.L., but no bank issued them: no account, no money, no cardholder. Every real purchase, free trial or card check declines them. To pay online, use a virtual or prepaid card from your bank or a wallet such as Mercado Pago. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.
