Real BINs from banks in Japan

The generator above is preset with BIN 409358, a Visa credit range of Mitsubishi UFJ Nicos Co., Ltd. Each row below is a different bank. Switching keeps that bank's prefix, randomizes the middle digits and recomputes the check digit, with a fresh expiry and CVV.

Frequently asked questions

Can I generate a Japan credit card number for testing?

Yes — it is preset for Japan: numbers begin with 409358 from Mitsubishi UFJ Nicos Co., Ltd and end with a valid Luhn digit, so they pass format checks for a Japan card. No bank issued them, so they carry no account and real payments are declined.

Which card networks are most common in Japan?

By BIN count in our data: JCB 65%, Visa 13%, Diners Club 10%, Mastercard 8%. Local networks: JCB (9,003 BINs). Debit ranges make up 39% and credit ranges 61%.

Which BINs do Visa cards from Japan start with?

Examples from different banks: 409358 (Mitsubishi UFJ Nicos Co., Ltd); 454110 (Credit Saison Co., Ltd); 452593 (Vja Co.,ltd.); 420503 (Aeon Financial Service Co., Ltd). See the Japan BIN list for every bank.

Which currency should I use to test payments from Japan?

JPY (Japanese yen). It has no minor unit, so amounts are whole numbers — many gateway APIs treat it as a zero-decimal currency and expect 1000, not 1000.00. Also test a foreign-currency charge on a Japan BIN: the issuer converts it, which some checkouts display differently.

Can I use a generated Japan card number to buy something?

No. The first six digits are real Japan bank prefixes, the rest is random, so the number belongs to nobody and every live payment fails. For real online payments in Japan, ask your bank for a virtual card or a wallet such as PayPay. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.

What does a JCB card number look like?

JCB numbers start with 3528–3589, 3088–3094, 3096–3102, 3112–3120, 3158–3159 and 3337–3349 and have 16/17/18/19 digits with a Luhn check digit. Japan's home-grown international card brand. 3528-3589 is the classic JCB range; Discover's official IIN range summary marks the 3088-3094, 3096-3102, 3112-3120, 3158-3159 and 3337-3349 blocks as JCB too, with PAN lengths 16-19. Make sure your card form accepts these prefixes instead of rejecting them as an unknown brand.

Which payment methods should a checkout for Japan offer next to cards?

Konbini (convenience-store payment): The customer gets a payment code and pays cash at FamilyMart, Lawson, Ministop or Seicomart (Stripe limits: 120 to 300,000 JPY). PayPay: Japan's popular QR/mobile wallet; the shopper is redirected to the PayPay app to authorise, and there are no chargebacks. WebMoney: Prepaid card/code supported by KOMOJU, with test numbers in its sandbox.
