One BIN per bank — the most common Visa or Mastercard product of each of the largest issuers, plus local-network BINs. All 5,015 BINs with a named issuer are in the Japan BIN list.

Local card networks in Japan

Besides the international networks, Japan 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 Japan

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

Yes. The generator on this page starts every number with a real BIN registered to a bank in Japan — by default 409358 (Mitsubishi UFJ Nicos Co., Ltd, Visa 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 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. 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.
