MasterCard Update regarding BIN 2 Range: What you need to know

Mastercard

Starting in January of 2017, card issuers can begin issuing a new version of MasterCard. Pull out your wallet and you’ll see that the account number on your card starts with a “5”. The first six digits of your account number, otherwise known as the Bank Identification Number (BIN) determine how transactions are routed and identify your issuing bank.
