Payment testing notes for Canada

Generated numbers only pass format checks: network prefix, length and the Luhn checksum. They are not issued by any bank in Canada, carry no money and are declined by every real payment system — use them for forms, validation and BIN rules, and switch to your gateway's documented test cards for approvals and declines.

Frequently asked questions

Can I generate a Canada credit card number for testing?

Yes. The generator on this page starts every number with a real BIN registered to a bank in Canada — by default 518684 (Bank of Montreal, Mastercard credit). The remaining digits are random and the last one is a Luhn check digit. No bank issued the number, so it carries no account and real payments with it are declined.

Which card networks are most common in Canada?

By BIN count in our data: Private label 70%, Maestro 10%, Visa 10%, Mastercard 6%. Debit ranges make up 83% and credit ranges 17%.

Which BINs do Visa cards from Canada start with?

Examples from different banks: 408586 (The Toronto-Dominion Bank); 403276 (Royal Bank of Canada); 405867 (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce); 426991 (Bank of Nova Scotia). See the Canada BIN list for every bank.

Which currency should I use to test payments from Canada?

CAD (Canadian dollar). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). A card from any country can pay in any currency the merchant supports; the issuer handles conversion.

Will these numbers pass a payment gateway?

They pass format checks — length, network prefix and the Luhn checksum — so they are ideal for testing form validation and BIN-based rules. Gateways in test mode want their own documented test cards for approvals and declines; in live mode every generated number is declined because no bank has issued it.
