Payment testing notes for Costa Rica
- Currency: CRC (Costa Rican colón). Most gateway APIs expect amounts in the smallest unit, for example 1050 for 10.50.
- Card country: Checkouts that route domestic and international cards differently decide by the BIN country. A BIN from Costa Rica tests the domestic route; any foreign BIN tests the cross-border one.
- Debit vs credit: Only 36% of the BINs from Costa Rica are debit ranges — fewer than in 45 of the 62 other countries we cover. If your checkout treats debit differently (fees, installments, recurring billing), test a BIN of each type from the table above.
- Billing details: postcodes in Costa Rica are 5 digits (e.g. 10101); phone numbers use +506 — 8 digits, no area code; landlines start with 2, mobiles with 6, 7 or 8.
- SINPE Móvil transfers are a popular alternative to cards.

Frequently asked questions
Can I generate a Costa Rica credit card number for testing?
Yes. Pick a bank from Costa Rica (the default is Banco Nacional de Costa Rica, BIN 510714) and the tool builds Luhn-valid numbers on that prefix, with expiry and CVV. Nothing is attached to them, so any real charge is declined.
Which card networks are most common in Costa Rica?
By BIN count in our data: Visa 44%, Mastercard 28%, Maestro 13%, UATP 12%. Debit ranges make up 36% and credit ranges 64%.
Which BINs do Visa cards from Costa Rica start with?
Examples from different banks: 449830 (Banco Promerica de Costa Rica, S.A.); 414282 (Banco de Costa Rica); 404485 (Scotiabank de Costa Rica, S.A.); 441576 (Banco Popular y de Desarrollo Comunal). See the Costa Rica BIN list for every bank.
Which currency should I use to test payments from Costa Rica?
CRC (Costa Rican colón). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). Shoppers with cards from Costa Rica can still be charged in other currencies; their bank converts the amount.
Can I use a generated Costa Rica card number to buy something?
They do not. A generated number only has the right shape; Banco Nacional de Costa Rica or any other issuer has never heard of it, so authorization always fails. Real alternatives: a virtual card from a bank in Costa Rica. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.
Which payment methods should a checkout for Costa Rica offer next to cards?
SINPE Móvil: Banco Central de Costa Rica service that sends money to a mobile number linked to a bank account; widely used by merchants. SINPE (bank transfer): Interbank transfer via the central bank's SINPE system, offered by PSPs as a checkout option.
