What is BIN 816986?

BIN 816986 is on the RuPay 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 RuPay network.

RuPay is India's domestic card network, operated by NPCI, with BIN ranges including 508, 81 and 82, and acceptance across India and partner networks abroad.

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 816986 is institutional data under the ISO/IEC 7812 standard — looking it up reveals the issuing program, nothing about any cardholder.
