Cardium

Live Lookup

Check any card BIN in seconds — see the issuing bank, brand, card type, and country. VISA cards are saved automatically under their country; anything that isn't VISA is flagged so you don't use it.

Enter the first 6 to 8 digits to identify the card issuer, brand, and country.

Verify

Confirm your BINs against the live card network. A BIN is marked Valid when it's found and its country matches — fast, reliable, and fully logged. Add newly found BINs and tag your HITS here too.

Add similar BINs

The API doesn't return the similar-BIN list on this plan. Paste it from the dashboard's Similar BINs box: enter the primary BIN, paste the list (JSON array or comma-separated), and they're saved as New BIN inheriting the primary's country — verify each one individually anytime.

 

Mark BINs as HITS ⚡

Flag one or many BINs as HITS (pinged/live on the VISA server). Enter a single BIN or paste a list (JSON array, comma- or space-separated). New BINs are created under Discovery; existing BINs keep their status/country. Every change is logged to history.

 
 

Records

 

Import

Bring your Visa BIN spreadsheet into Cardium. Drop in an Excel file and we'll load every row — no data left behind.

Import Excel

Required columns: bin, brand, type, category, issuer, alpha_2, alpha_3, country, latitude, longitude, bank_phone, bank_url — matched by name, so a file exported from Cardium re-imports as-is (extra columns are ignored). Replace wipes the table; Append adds to it.

Loads BIN records only. Verification state, discovery links, history and generated cards from an export are not restored — this is a data import, not a full backup restore.

 

Card Testing

Raise a BIN for card testing, track its status, then mark it Hit or No-Hit. A Hit flags the BIN in the database and the AI assistant starts suggesting it.

Raise a test ticket

 

Mark a card as HIT

Paste a full 16-digit card that hit. Cardium live-checks its BIN (respecting the revalidation window), flags it in the database, and adds it to the Card Repository for everyone.

 

Tickets

Submit Card

Log a card entry. Saved to its own table and exportable as an Excel sheet in the exact form layout. Not linked to the BIN database.

New entry

Generate Cards

Create unique, Luhn-valid test card numbers from any BIN — for safe payment testing only. These are never real cards.

Generate test cards

Each card gets a random expiry and CVV, Luhn-valid, stored server-side. These are never real cards.

 
 

Analyst Tracker

Log each merchant-compliance test case in one structured form. Your entries are private to you; managers and admins see the master view across all analysts and can export it. WE Date (week-ending Friday) is computed automatically.

Start new case

Enter the URL and the country you'll test from. We check whether it's already been tested before opening the form.

Search History

Every BIN search and lookup, logged and searchable — who searched what, when, the result, verification status, source, and whether it was already known (duplicate).

BIN search log

Live BIN lookups, per-row verifications, and AI-assisted searches. Filter and drill in.

 

Admin Control Panel

Connection, database health, team access, data export, and the security audit trail — all in one place. Admin only.

Database

New BINs are discovered from the API's similar-BIN list and stay “New” until individually verified.

AI assistant settings

Revalidation TTL — how fresh an already-valid BIN must be before the assistant re-checks it live (Already-validated / HITS / Mix pools). Lower burns more live API quota. Default 72 hours; 0 = always re-check.

 

Daily backup

BIN data, Submit Card data, and the Card Repository are backed up automatically every day at 02:00 IST to a folder on this VM. Leave the path blank to save to the VM user's Documents folder, or set a specific destination below. Files are named BIN_Backup_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM.db, SubmitCard_Backup_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM.xlsx, and CardRepository_Backup_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM.xlsx.

 
 

HITS neighbor discovery

When a card is marked Hit, automatically verify its BIN's range-neighbours against the live API and add any new valid BINs. Off by default — it spends API quota. Neighbour BINs are kept out of the AI Assistant's "New BIN" suggestions.
