Overview

What is a BIN Blacklist?A BIN (Bank Identification Number) is the first few digits of a credit or debit card that identify the issuing bank. The BIN Blacklist feature lets you block specific BINs from being used for payments within your account.

Tenant-wide (Global)

Applies to all subscriptions across your tenant.

Custom List (Per Subscription)

Assign different BIN rules to specific subscriptions.
This helps prevent payments from certain banks or card types that you don’t want to accept (e.g., prepaid cards, high-risk issuers).

​
How the BIN Blacklist works

Important: When a custom BIN list is assigned to a subscription, that subscription ignores the tenant-wide list. The custom list becomes the only active blacklist for that subscription.
Example
Your global list blocks 400000.
  • Subscription A uses the global list → transactions with 400000 are blocked.
  • Subscription B has a custom list that doesn’t include 400000 → transactions with 400000 are allowed for that subscription.

​

The Global BIN List applies to your entire account unless a subscription uses a custom list.

Best Practices

Use Global for Always-on Rules

Company-wide restrictions that should always apply belong in the global list.

Use Custom for Specific Needs

Create custom lists for subscriptions with unique rules (e.g., currency, region, risk).
  • Keep BIN details clear — always include a short reason when blocking a BIN.
  • Review periodically — outdated BIN blocks can affect legitimate transactions.
  • Avoid duplication — if you copy a global BIN into a custom list, keep track to avoid confusion.
