Visa BIN ranges and lengths
- First digit: Visa numbers always start with 4.
- Length: 13, 16 or 19 digits. 16 is the standard for modern cards.
- BIN/IIN: the first 6–8 digits identify the issuing bank.
- Check digit: the last digit is calculated with the Luhn algorithm.
Enter any valid 6–8 digit Visa BIN in the generator above to produce numbers for that issuer range. Need something else? Try the Mastercard generator or the full test card numbers list.
FAQ
- Are these Visa numbers real?
- No. They are structurally valid test numbers with no balance and no associated account. They cannot be used for real payments.
- Why does my gateway reject a generated number?
- Most gateways only accept their own documented test BINs in test mode. Use the numbers in the table above for gateway-specific behaviour and generated numbers for format validation, UI testing and fuzzing.
- How do I check a Visa number?
- Use the Luhn validator or the BIN checker.
