Description

Root Cause
Obsolete BINs: The card issuer updated their BIN ranges, and older cards are no longer valid.
Bank mergers or rebranding: Changes at the issuer level can render previously valid BINs invalid.
Expired or deactivated cards: Cards tied to old BINs may be phased out as part of security or operational updates.
Incorrect card information: The card number entered does not correspond to a valid BIN recognized by the payment network.

Ask the customer to contact their card issuer to confirm the validity of their card.
Ask the customer to request a replacement card if necessary.
Ask the customer to update their payment information with a valid card number.
