Many international credit cards don’t support address verification. Checking the BIN or Bank Identification Number provides a way to see if the issuing bank for the credit card is in the same country as where the card holder is resident. Note: The BIN is only applicable to VISA and MasterCard. Also, legitimate users sometimes do use a credit card from another country so this is considered to be a yellow flag.
