    Look up BIN

    API request

    Look up the card's details from its BIN. The primary path uses the `cardBin` payload (type `cardBin` + `bin`). To check surcharge support, add `amount` and `currency` (both optional and omitted for a plain lookup). Alternatively, replace the `card` payload with a full `card`, `secureToken`, or `digitalWallet` object — the operation accepts any of these discriminated variants.

  title: Look up BIN information for a card
  summary: Retrieve card brand, type, and issuer details from a bank
    identification number.
  description: |
    Looks up information about a card from its bank identification number (BIN) so an integrator can make routing, acceptance, and surcharging decisions before taking a payment. The single operation (binLookup) returns the card brand (type), masked card number, issuing country, currency, and whether the card is a debit or healthcare (FSA/HSA) card.
    The request `card` object is polymorphic (discriminated by `type`). The primary path shown here is the `cardBin` variant, where only the leading digits (`bin`) are supplied — the lightest input for a routing/acceptance decision. The same operation also accepts a full `card`, a `secureToken`, or a `digitalWallet` payload if the caller already holds fuller payment details; swap the `card` payload accordingly.
    Surcharging is optional: to have the gateway confirm the card supports surcharging and return the surcharge, include `amount` and `currency` in the request. Omit them for a plain BIN lookup, in which case the response `surcharging` object is not returned.

      Single-step lookup. Sends a card's BIN to the gateway and returns the brand, masked card number, issuing country, and debit/healthcare flags. Include `amount` and `currency` to additionally check surcharge support.

          description: |
            Optional. Transaction amount used to check the surcharge amount, in the currency's lowest denomination (for example, cents). Supply together with `currency` to have the gateway return surcharging info.

        currency:
          type: string
          description: Optional. ISO 4217 currency of the transaction; supply with
            `amount` to check surcharging.
