What is a BIN (Bank Identification Number)?

​bank i - dent - i - fi - ca - tion num - ber

noun

The first four to six digits on a credit card, which can be used to identify the Issuing Bank that issued the card.

How Does a Bank Identification Number Work?

The first section of the Bank Identification Number identifies the location of the bank that issued the card, while the latter portion identifies the specific name of the bank. BINs are traditionally used by online Merchants as a way to detect fraud by matching the geographic area where the cardholder is located to the geographic area identified in the Bank Identification Number. The term Issuer Identification Number (IIN) and Interbank Card Association Number (ICA) also refer to this same collection of numbers. A personal identification number, or PIN, identifies a cardholder.

What is credit card authorization?

​cre - dit card au - thor - i - za - tion

noun

A request to see whether a credit card is approved for use to complete a given purchase transaction.

How Does Credit Card Authorization Work?

Authorization is necessary to check whether a cardholder’s Credit Card holds sufficient funds and is approved to purchase from a Merchant. An Authorization Request first emerges whenever a cardholder attempts to purchase a good or service through a debit or credit card.

The request for Authorization is first sent through the merchant’s Acquiring Bank to determine the cardholder’s bank. When notified, the cardholder’s bank then determines whether the Transaction with the merchant will either be approved or declined based on the cardholder’s line of credit. After the Acquiring Bank clarifies whether the cardholder holds sufficient funds or credit for the Transaction, this information of whether the Transaction was declined or approved travels back through the Acquiring Bank to the Merchant. If the Transaction is approved, then the amount of the Transaction is deducted from the cardholder’s account and the cardholder is given Receipt.

 

What is a Merchant Category Code (MCC)?

​mer - chant cat - e - gor - y code

noun

A 4-digit code designated by a credit card company that lists the product, service, or line of business of a merchant.

How Does a Merchant Category Code Work?

A merchant category code is first assigned by a Credit Card company, such as Visa or MasterCard, to a Merchant once it begins to accept one those companies’ credit cards. If a merchant is involved in more than one type of business, than the Merchant Category Code will apply to that merchant’s primary line of business.

 

What are Operating Regulations?

​op - er - at - ing reg - u - lat - tions

noun
