Mastercard® has received an additional range of 2-series numbers to add to the 5-series that we currently provide. The 2-series BINs operate in the same way as the 5-series and we have made changes to our systems to accommodate the new numbers. Readiness for the 2-series across our issuers, merchants and other partners is tracking on target dates listed below. Mastercard customer financial institutions can expect to be issued 2-series BINs starting in 2017.

Mastercard is adding a new "2" series to their bank identification numbers (BINs) to support the expanding payments industry. BINs are the first 6 digits of a credit card number used to identify the institution that issued the card. The "2" series BINs will range from 222100 to 272099, with the same rules and impact as the existing MasterCard 51-55 BIN ranges. |
