Seems like we need to add more popular USA banks by our self. Only in this case users will trust in us and contribute.

Reddit users expect that we have AmEx, Chase, BofA, and Capital One banks.

We need to find these BINs somehow.

Plenty of websites listing BINs - they won't always have every single one, but usually a pretty good chunk. I think the aim behind this project is to provide a more open API as most of the BIN lookup APIs cost lots of money.

Not sure what the rules are on various BIN websites for scraping them and generating JSON from the results...

@iSeiryu that's a pretty good list as a general guideline, but a lot of them are outdated now and have been re-used by different banks than the listed ones (for example, some Wells Fargo numbers are used by Citibank now).
I would be cautious about taking that list as a gold source.

Here are a few that I got as well

Chase (Visa):
414720 (confirms above)
441103

Citi (Mastercard):
542418
540385

Amex:
371587

Wells (Visa):
446540

As an aside, another thing you'll want to watch out for are mobile contactless payment methods (e.g. Apple Wallet/Pay, Google Wallet/Android Pay). Apple Pay uses a DPAN, which is a token that looks like a card number. Transactions can transmit the full DPAN, but I'm not sure if any of those will have actual BINs.

Also could be worth adding card numbers used for testing.
