BIN Profile
Overview and details on BIN profiles within RevCent.
A BIN profile allows you to route payments to specific gateways based on the first digits of a customer’s card number. BIN profiles only apply to transactions that are run via a Payment Profile. Add individual BINs or ranges in the BIN entries table.
Why Use A BIN Profile?
- Increase payment acceptance based on issuing institution BIN.
- Reduce declines when 3DS is not supported by an institution.
- RevCent routes the request when using a Payment Profile
- Create as many BIN Profiles as you want.

View all BIN profiles by clicking the Payments > Credit Card > BIN Profiles link on the sidebar or going to https://revcent.com/user/bin-profiles

BIN Table
The current web editor has one BIN or range field per row. Click Add row to add an entry, or the trash icon beside a row to remove it from the unsaved form. For example, 411111 matches one six-digit BIN and 411111-411120 creates an inclusive range. Click Save changes to apply your entries.
API BIN fields
The API also supports the BIN 6/8, BIN 2, and custom fields described below. These are not separate columns in the current web editor.
BIN 6/8
Enter an individual or ranged BIN 6 or BIN 8 value.
- Entries must be exactly six or eight digits.
- Ranged values must be in the form of LOWEST-HIGHEST.
- Range difference cannot exceed 5000.
BIN 2
If you entered an individual or ranged BIN 6 in the first column, you can provide an additional two digits, either as an individual number or range. If BIN 2 is present, the BIN 6 is converted into a BIN 8, disposing the BIN 6 variant for that row.
- BIN 2 entries must be exactly two digits.
- You cannot enter a BIN 8 in the first column and include a value in BIN 2, as this would generate a 10 digit BIN.
Custom X
Use the custom columns to include additional information for each bin row.
BIN Examples
The table below shows the BINs generated based on the individual or ranged entries for BIN 6/8 and BIN 2. Invalid entries will result in an error.
| BIN 6/8 | BIN 2 | Generated BIN(s) | Explained |
|---|---|---|---|
| 424242 | 424242 | Individual BIN 6. | |
| 424242 | 42 | 42424242 |
BIN 6 + BIN 2 results in individual BIN 8. The BIN 6 value is not saved. |
| 424242 | 42-43 |
42424242 42424243 |
BIN 6 + BIN 2 range generates two unique BIN 8 values. The BIN 6 value is not saved. |
| 424242-424243 |
424242 424243 |
BIN 6 range generates two unique BIN 6 values. | |
| 424242-424243 | 42-43 |
42424242 42424243 42424342 42424343 |
BIN 6 range + BIN 2 range generates four unique BIN 8 values. The BIN 6 ranged values are not saved. |
| 42424242 | 42424242 | Individual BIN 8. | |
| 42424242-42424244 |
42424242 42424243 42424244 |
BIN 8 range generates three unique BIN 8 values. | |
| 4242 | INVALID | Column BIN 6/8 must be exactly six or eight digits. | |
| 424242 | 424 | INVALID | Column BIN 2 must be exactly two digits. |
| 42424242 | 42 | INVALID | Results in 10 Digit BIN. |
