Transkripcija

What is BIN sponsorship? A BIN is the first group of numbers on a payment card.

It identifies the institution and card program behind that card.

BIN sponsorship allows companies to launch a card program through a licensed card issuer instead of becoming a direct card network member themselves.

The sponsor provides access to the card scheme and supports areas such as issuing, compliance, risk controls, and oversight.

The company can then offer cards under its own brand and build a customer experience around them.

In simple terms, BIN sponsorship helps businesses launch card products using regulated issuing infrastructure.

Apie šį epizodą

A BIN — the first group of numbers on a payment card — identifies the institution and card programme sitting behind that card. Becoming a direct member of a card network in order to hold your own is a long and demanding process.

BIN sponsorship is the way around that. It lets a company launch a card programme through a licensed card issuer instead of joining the network directly. The sponsor provides access to the card scheme and supports issuing, compliance, risk controls and oversight.

What the company keeps is the part customers see: cards offered under its own brand, and the experience built around them. In simple terms, BIN sponsorship helps businesses launch card products on regulated issuing infrastructure — the same division of labour BaaS applies to accounts and payments.
