About

BinList.wellcart.pk is a free public web service for looking up credit and debit card metadata by BIN / IIN number.

What is a BIN / IIN?

The first 6–8 digits of a payment card number are called the Issuer Identification Number (IIN), formerly known as the Bank Identification Number (BIN). They uniquely identify the institution that issued the card.

Data Sources

Our data is sourced from multiple authoritative references, filtered, prioritised, and combined. Some inferences are drawn from adjacent card ranges. While highly accurate, 100% precision cannot be guaranteed.

Privacy & Security

Only the first 6–8 digits are needed β€” never the full card number. No sensitive information is transmitted or stored. Lookups are safe and do not expose cardholder data.

Edge Performance

This service runs on Cloudflare's global edge network. Responses are cached at 300+ PoPs worldwide, ensuring sub-10 ms lookup times for most users regardless of location.
