What is BIN 506156?

BIN 506156 is on the Verve network.

A Bank Identification Number (BIN, or Issuer Identification Number / IIN) is the first 6 to 8 digits of any payment card. It tells the payment network which institution issued the card, what kind of card it is, and where it was issued. The card runs on the Verve network.

Verve is Africa's largest domestic card scheme, issued primarily in Nigeria with BINs in the 506099–506198 and 650002–650027 ranges.

In practice this prefix is what a checkout sees first — risk engines score it, gateways route on it, and merchants use it to decide whether to accept the card class at all. BIN 506156 is institutional data under the ISO/IEC 7812 standard — looking it up reveals the issuing program, nothing about any cardholder.
