Mastercard new BINS, will this be an issue?

[ethical]

I just learned from my payment processor, Mastercard is releasing new BINS. I didn't find any discussion on this and just checking it should not be an issue in WHMCS and accepting payments from these new numbers

 

see here http://images.go.hometrust.ca/Web/HomeTrust/%7Be67a76d9-1953-4982-b3f4-54448caeecfc%7D_PSI_MasterCard_2-Series_Implementation.pdf

 

To expand supply, MasterCard is rolling out an additional range of six digit BINs (222100 - 272099).

 

this takes effect in January 2017, so if it is an issue, please get it sorted asap.

 

thanks!

I would think this would be more of an issue with your processor, not WHMCS directly, since your processor is the one that's going to be handling these

oh really? so when a client selects mastercard and then enters a card number that doesnt start with 5, you dont think whmcs is going to say "Woa thats not a master card number" in its checks? pretty sure it will since it does some checking before it gets sent forward to the processor doesnt it?

We do some checks on the card numbers when users enter in. The new BINS are in a development queue and should be implemented before the new BINS begin active operation I am keeping an eye on the case CORE-10324 and will keep you all updated as more comes to hand

here is an update so you know the numbers that need to pass verification

 

Starting in January 2017, MasterCard will begin issuing a new series of credit cards with Bank Identification Numbers (BINs) starting with the number “2” to accommodate for the growing need for payment processing.

 

In order to continue to accept MasterCard payments with new BINs, all acquirers (PSiGate) and merchants will be required to make changes to support new BINS by October 2016.

 

You are also required to ensure that your payment application or shopping card does not include any logic that prevents the acceptance of card numbers that begin with the number ‘2’. Our staging environment is available for your testing process. Below are the test credit card numbers:

 

- 2221011111222226

- 2221000000111111

- 2720999999111113

- 2222400041240011

- 2223000048400011
