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. For BIN 552742, that institution is Bank Of China Limited in China.

Merchants, fraud teams, ad platforms and developers use BIN data to route transactions, localize checkout, detect chargebacks and decide which card products they accept. BIN 552742 itself is public metadata — it identifies the issuer, not the cardholder.
