Mastercard BIN ranges and lengths
- Classic ranges: 51–55.
- New ranges: 2221–2720 (introduced in 2016 to expand the Mastercard range).
- Length: always 16 digits.
- BIN/IIN: the first 6–8 digits identify the issuing bank.
Tip: generated 2-series numbers (2221–2720) are useful when testing gateway validation rules that only recognise the classic 51–55 range. See our BIN checker to classify any prefix, or the Visa generator for 4-series numbers.
FAQ
- Do all Mastercards start with 5?
- No. Since 2016, cards can also start with 2, in the range 2221–2720. Use the generator with a 2-series BIN to test that path.
- Can I use a generated number to test my own gateway?
- Yes — gateways in test mode usually accept only their own documented test numbers, but generated storage-valid numbers are ideal for validating client-side formatting, Luhn checks and UI flows.
