Card bin accuracy

We strive to keep our bin database updated with scheme changes. However, there might be scenarios where specific bin updates might not be applied to our system. This can happen because of different reasons. If you are using this API for critical applications like applying merchant discount rate, it is better that you get these details from the card schemes or authorised resellers.
