IINs change often, they can be re-assigned to different bank cards, types, card levels and even different countries. We constantly work to keep track of those changes and make sure the data as up to date as possible to provide a reliable IIN identification service.

We have partnered with large corporations who use our solutions, acquired new data sources and gained many valuable small-business clients who steadily grow with the help of our solutions.

Our IIN data is compiled through various data sources and methods.
We have listed some of them below:

• Customers - Reporting back IIN data and helping us improve data quality constantly
• Financial institutions - contributing their IIN data
• Payment processors - merchants verify risk transactions
• User input validation - end users confirm their own personal IIN data
• Call to verify card details - contacting card holders to confirm public IIN details without their personal card information
• Document verification services - Companies that perform Optical Character Recognition to validate personal documents
• Card collectors - Proven partnerships we have with collectors of recently expired/inactive cards help us identify many rare or non-public card types
• Public search data - Performing statistical analysis of the search data through our web tools.
