One BIN per bank — the most common Visa or Mastercard product of each of the largest issuers. All 2,195 BINs with a named issuer are in the Italy BIN list.

Local card networks in Italy

Besides the international networks, Italy has its own card scheme. Local networks matter for testing because their numbers often use prefixes that a Visa/Mastercard-only form rejects or labels wrongly.

Payment testing notes for Italy

Generated numbers only pass format checks: network prefix, length and the Luhn checksum. They are not issued by any bank in Italy, 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 Italy credit card number for testing?

Yes. The generator on this page starts every number with a real BIN registered to a bank in Italy — by default 513348 (Nexi Payments SPA, Mastercard debit). 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 Italy?

By BIN count in our data: Maestro 39%, Visa 20%, Mastercard 19%, Diners Club 10%. Local networks: PagoBancomat (162 BINs). Debit ranges make up 61% and credit ranges 39%.

Which BINs do Visa cards from Italy start with?

Examples from different banks: 493503 (Deutsche Bank S.P.A.); 491688 (SIA S.P.A.); 404101 (Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.P.A.). See the Italy BIN list for every bank.

Which currency should I use to test payments from Italy?

EUR (euro). 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.
