What is BIN 821697?

BIN 821697 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.

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 821697 itself is public metadata — it identifies the issuer, not the cardholder.
