MaxMind is not specific to a gateway. Its run during the order process regardless of what payment gateway is used. But no, it doesn't check bank details as it doesn't have this info available to it.

Can it be made available to it? I am sure CC information is stored somewhere.

How would that work? The CC info wont contain the bank details unless passed through a merchant and they confirm the details.

 

The first SIX numbers of credit cards, are VERY useful for Fraud Tracking/Manual check.

 

With the first 6 numbers you know WHICH BANK the card is from (US or not)

BIN number databases are rare to come by. The link you posted is far from complete. We have a few cards, that show the incorrect bank with their db, for instance, or cards, that are cross-bank, such as MNBA cards, used at Wachovia, Bank of America and others.

 

Here's a small tip, perhaps talk to your merchant bank to see if they have an api or regularily updated list available for you.

 

Also, if you find a reliable source of BIN, and wish to incorporate it, you could do so with an intermittent step on your order form.
