Local card networks in Pakistan
Besides the international networks, Pakistan has its own card scheme. Its numbers often use prefixes that a Visa/Mastercard-only form rejects or labels wrongly, so test them on purpose.
| Scheme | Card numbers start with | Length | Online | About |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PayPak 1LINK (Pvt) Ltd |
22054300-22064299 | – | Limited | Pakistan's first domestic card scheme, launched in 2016; cards work at ATMs, POS and e-commerce sites within Pakistan only. The 8-digit range comes from a 2021 W3C Payments WG mailing-list post (not an official 1LINK document); Cybersource's test BIN 22055310 is labelled PayPak, and real PayPak BINs in the open bin-list data (220544-220576) fall inside it. It sits next to Troy's 22050000-22052999, so 2205 alone does not identify PayPak. No (domestic-only scheme). Source |

Payment testing notes for Pakistan
- Currency: PKR (Pakistani rupee). Most gateway APIs expect amounts in the smallest unit, for example 1050 for 10.50.
- Card authentication: The State Bank of Pakistan requires banks to use EMVCo 3-D Secure for online card payments, and issuers that have 3-D Secure may enable cards for e-commerce by default (PSD Circular Letter No. 02 of 2021). The PayPak scheme mandates 3-D Secure with an OTP for every e-commerce transaction. Source
- Card country: Fraud rules often compare the BIN country (PK) with the shopper's IP address and billing address. Use a BIN from Pakistan for the domestic path and a foreign BIN for cross-border rules.
- Debit vs credit: 73% of the BINs from Pakistan are debit ranges — a higher share than in 52 of the 62 other countries we cover. Debit and credit often follow different rules for refunds, installments and recurring billing, so cover both types.
- Billing details: postcodes in Pakistan are 5 digits (e.g. 44000); phone numbers use +92 — 10-digit mobile number after +92, mobiles start with 3 (national trunk prefix 0). Generate Pakistan test addresses.
Paying online in Pakistan: local methods and gateways
Cards are only part of the picture. These payment methods are popular in Pakistan and usually sit next to the card form at checkout:

- Easypaisa (wallet) — Telenor Microfinance Bank's mobile wallet; its Easypay online checkout (2015) lets shoppers pay from the wallet or in cash at Easypaisa shops. Source
- Raast (QR) — SBP's national instant payment system; Raast P2M lets merchants take payments by QR code, Raast alias, IBAN or request-to-pay. Source

Frequently asked questions
Can I generate a Pakistan credit card number for testing?
Yes — it is preset for Pakistan: numbers begin with 400627 from MCB Bank, Ltd and end with a valid Luhn digit, so they pass format checks for a Pakistan card. Nothing is attached to them, so any real charge is declined.
Which card networks are most common in Pakistan?
By BIN count in our data: Visa 39%, Mastercard 31%, Maestro 17%, UnionPay 6%. Local networks: Paypak (7 BINs). Debit ranges make up 73% and credit ranges 27%.
Which BINs do Visa cards from Pakistan start with?
Examples from different banks: 400627 (MCB Bank, Ltd); 402583 (Bank Alfalah, Ltd); 402805 (Habib Bank, Ltd); 462891 (United Bank, Ltd). See the Pakistan BIN list for every bank.
Which currency should I use to test payments from Pakistan?
PKR (Pakistani rupee). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). If you sell abroad, test PKR and your settlement currency — cards from Pakistan work with both.
Do these Pakistan card numbers work for payments?
No. They start with real BINs from banks in Pakistan such as MCB Bank, but no bank issued them: no account, no money, no cardholder. Every real purchase, free trial or card check declines them. To pay online, use a virtual or prepaid card from your bank or a wallet such as JazzCash and Easypaisa. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.
What does a PayPak card number look like?
PayPak numbers start with 22054300–22064299. Pakistan's first domestic card scheme, launched in 2016; cards work at ATMs, POS and e-commerce sites within Pakistan only. The 8-digit range comes from a 2021 W3C Payments WG mailing-list post (not an official 1LINK document); Cybersource's test BIN 22055310 is labelled PayPak, and real PayPak BINs in the open bin-list data (220544-220576) fall inside it. It sits next to Troy's 22050000-22052999, so 2205 alone does not identify PayPak. Make sure your card form accepts these prefixes instead of rejecting them as an unknown brand.
How do people pay online in Pakistan besides cards?
JazzCash: Jazz's mobile wallet with a merchant payment gateway (sandbox at sandbox.jazzcash.com.pk; credentials are given at merchant onboarding).
