The problem it solves

Before you process a payment or investigate a suspicious transaction, you need to know what kind of card you are dealing with. Looking up that information by hand for every transaction is slow and easy to skip when you are busy.

Who it fits

Finance teams, payment processors, and fraud prevention staff checking card details.

How it works

  1. You provide a card's BIN number
  2. The system sends the number to a card lookup service
  3. The service returns the card brand, type, issuing bank, and country
  4. You receive the card details ready to use or store
What you get

Card risks flagged before you approve them

You enter a card's BIN and instantly see its brand, type, issuing bank, and country.

What you get

A detailed lookup of the card brand, type, issuing bank, and country for any given BIN.

What you need

An apilayer account with an active API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
