BIN Rule

Route a transaction based on the Bank Identification Number

Suggest Edits

📘

A BIN (Bank Identification Number) consists of the first 4 to 11 digits of a payment card number that identifies the card brand, type, issuing bank, and other details that an issuer may prescribe.

With Preczn, you can set Plan Rules to route transactions based on BIN. This can be useful in situations where you wish to route specific card BINs to a specific processor Connection.
