BIN Database

[EL_Speciale]

I m administrating a big european onlineshop and now i m looking for a BIN Database (Bank ID Number - Code from the first 6 Numbers of Visa/Master Credit Cards) to program a tool what is directly transmitting the Country where the Credit Card is registered in an online order with credit card payment. So we will have easier controll if the customer is in the same country where the card is registered.
Anyone knows where to download/buy this database? :confused:

Thanks from Germany :o

couldnt you just get that from thier ip?

[EL_Speciale]

from their IP i know from where they ordered but not from where their credit card is....

[~~smart~fool~~]

your saying someone would order in one country and have a credit card in another? :confused: sry if im not helping

[EL_Speciale]

our problem is the stolen credit card numbers, for example stolen number of an american credit card, used in another country...

Look into minFraud (http://www.maxmind.com/app/ccv).

I would also like to be able to get hold of a BIN database. We need to determine whether a VISA card is a debit or credit card in order to apply the relevant administration charges. If anyone has any idea where I can get the data from (or if there is another way to do this) I would be very grateful.

I don't think minFraud will give us this information.

Are you people incapable of doing anything on your own? This is exactly the reason i'm leaving soon.

If you check wikipedia, the most trusted online source for information, it contains a helpful article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Identification_Number) on BINs which gives many links that can solve your problem.

This website we are on, all-nettools.com, offers BIN lookup here:

http://all-nettools.com/toolbox,financial

Which could possibly be used (somewhat illegally) if you designed a web application which sends a HTTP request to their BIN lookup script and analyzes the results.

Otherwise, you can download this integrated BIN database program for windows only, which possibly could be used on a website if you found a way of interfacing web scripts with it OR found a way of extracting the database from it:

http://www.mars-soft.net/banksbase.htm

Nowhere else on the net seems to offer BIN databases without signing up to a whole package of services.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Obviously we have found the BIN lookup on this web site which is why we are posting on here asking for information about how to download the database. :) Using it "somewhat illegally" is not really an option for a payments system which will need to go through a proper security auditing procedure!

As for the MARS application, I have downloaded this and it has the relevant data in it but not in an easily extractable format. I will contact the authors to see if there is a way that this data can be used and will post anything I find on here.
