This article aims to demystify the concept and shed light on this particular category of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article-category\/credit-cards\/\">credit card numbers<\/a>. The digits in a credit card number are not just random, they follow an international standard, and each digit or set of digits has its own meaning. Specifically, credit card numbers that start with the digit 9 are reserved for assignment by national standards bodies. Throughout this article, we will delve into the details of these standards bodies and their roles in assigning and regulating these unique credit cards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_credit_card_starts_with_9_Answer\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What credit card starts with 9? (Answer)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What credit card number starts with 9? This is a question many may find themselves asking, particularly those working in fields such as finance or commerce. While it&#8217;s common knowledge that certain credit cards start with specific numbers &#8211; American Express with 3, Visa with 4, MasterCard with 5 &#8211; the prefix &#8216;9&#8217; is a less familiar sight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The initial digit of a credit card number is known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ISO\/IEC_7812\">Major Industry Identifier (MII)<\/a>. The MII\u00a0signifies the category of the entity which issued the card. For example, airlines fall under MII 1 and financial institutions under MII 4. However, the &#8216;9&#8217; prefix has been reserved for assignment by national standards bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cards that start with 9 include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Estonia:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swedbank.ee\/private\/cards\/cards\/debit?language=ENG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Swedbank temporary ATM cards<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sweden:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/colnect.com\/en\/functional_cards\/functional_card\/11648-Tillf%C3%A4lligt_kort_ICA_Banken_AB-ICA_Banken_AB-Shops_-_Supermarkets-Sweden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ICA AB customer loyalty cards<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">United Kingdom:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">National Union of Students (United Kingdom) discount card (<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nus.org.uk\/student_discounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">NUS Extra and Totum cards<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waterstones.com\/plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Waterstones loyalty card<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nectar_(loyalty_card)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nectar loyalty card<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Waitrose loyalty card (<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waitrose.com\/ecom\/my-waitrose\/become-a-member\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">myWaitrose<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">National standards bodies are organizations set up by governments to develop and implement technical standards in various sectors. These bodies ensure that the system operates smoothly and transparently across different regions and types of transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So while you may not commonly encounter a credit card starting with &#8216;9&#8217;, this does not mean it does not exist or isn&#8217;t valid. It simply represents an allotment space designed for future use by national standards bodies as they continue to expand and innovate within their respective domains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_your_credit_card_numbers_mean_Guide_to_credit_and_debit_card_numbers\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What do your credit card numbers mean? (Guide to credit and debit card numbers)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Credit card numbers are made up of a single-digit Major Industry Identifier (MII) number, a six-digit Issuer Identification Number (IIN), an eight-digit Primary Account Number (PAN), and a single-digit check digit number.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The first digit of the credit card serves as a Major Industry Identifier (MII) and indicates the card&#8217;s network. If the first number on the card is a 4, which means the card is a Visa. If the card numbers start with a 3 it is an American Express card, Diner&#8217;s Club card, Carte Blanche card, or a JCB card. When the card numbers begin with a 2 or a 5, it&#8217;s Mastercard, while a Discover card&#8217;s first digit is a 6. Cards that start with the number 1 belong to the airline industry, while gasoline companies issue cards beginning with 7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The 2nd through 6th digits identify the card issuer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/4147-credit-card\/\">credit card type<\/a>. The first six digits of the card number are called Issuer Identification Numbers (IINs), also known as Bank Identification Numbers (BIN numbers). We can determine which bank or financial institution issued the card by looking up the card&#8217;s Issuer Identification Number.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The 7th to the 15th digits are the Primary Account Number (PAN), also called the credit card account number. The 8 digit PAN number is the most important part of the card number as it is unique to the cardholder. The final digit of a credit card, called a check digit, is used for verification purposes to avoid charging purchases to the wrong card number. Taken together, each credit card has a unique string of numbers that can give us insight into what the numbers represent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_credit_card_account_number\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is a credit card account number?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A credit card account number is a unique series of digits used to identify your specific account. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/3792-credit-card-type-bin-iin-list-of-credit-card-numbers\/\">number is printed on the front of your credit card<\/a> and is typically 15 or 16 digits long. It&#8217;s used for making electronic purchases, setting up automatic payments, and more. Each digit within the sequence provides specific information about the bank and the individual account.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_identify_cards_by_the_first_digit_of_the_card_number_Major_industry_identifier\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Can you identify cards by the first digit of the card number? (Major industry identifier)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can identify the issuing network of a credit card using the first digit of your card number, which is called a Major Industry Identifier. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/4284-credit-card\/\">Visa cards start with a 4<\/a>, MasterCards with a 2 or a 5, Discover cards with 6, and American Express numbers generally begin with 34 or 37. However, based on these numbers alone, you cannot identify specific personal information about the cardholder.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_first_4_digits_of_a_Visa_credit_card_Issuer_identification_number\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is the first 4 digits of a Visa credit card?

Credit cards issued by these networks are called major credit cards and are accepted by most businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_credit_card_security_code_CVV\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is a credit card security code? (CVV)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Card_security_code\">credit card security code<\/a>, also known as Card Verification Value (CVV), is a three or four digit number found on credit and debit cards. This code provides an extra layer of security when making purchases online or over the phone, as it verifies that the person making the transaction is physically in possession of the card. It&#8217;s a form of fraud prevention and is not stored in the magnetic stripe information nor embossed on the card. Hence, it cannot be printed on receipts. The CVV will typically be located on the back of the card, but on American Express credit cards, it&#8217;s found on the front of the card.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_check_digit_Last_number\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is a check digit? (Last number)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A check digit is a form of redundancy check used to detect errors when inputting credit card numbers. It is the last digit on a card and is used to validate the authenticity of the number. The purpose of a check digit is to guard against errors caused by incorrect data entry or faulty processing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_protect_your_credit_card_number\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to protect your credit card number<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here are ten tips to protect your credit card number:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Be Careful Where You Use It: Avoid using your card on unsecured or public Wi-Fi networks and only use it on trusted, secure websites with a URL starting with &#8216;https&#8217;.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keep Your Card Private: Do not let anyone see your card number when making transactions, and never share your card details over the phone or through email.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Regularly Check Your Statements: Detect any fraudulent activities early by regularly checking your credit card statements for any unfamiliar transactions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shred Old Statements: To prevent thieves from getting their hands on your information, shred old credit card statements before throwing them away.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Update Your Computer Security: Make sure the security software on your computer is up-to-date to help protect against any malicious software that could steal your information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use Credit Cards Instead of Debit Cards Online: Credit cards usually offer better fraud protection than debit cards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use a Digital Wallet or Secure Payment App: These can provide an extra layer of security as they use tokenization for transactions, where your actual credit card number is replaced with a unique code.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Enable Account Alerts: Many financial institutions offer account alerts for unusual activity or purchases over a certain amount which can help you quickly identify unauthorized usage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Report Lost or Stolen Cards Immediately: If you lose your card or if it gets stolen, report it immediately to limit any potential damage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keep Personal Information Safe: Never write down personal identification numbers (PINs) or passwords where someone else can find them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remember that protecting yourself involves being vigilant and proactive in managing and monitoring the use of your credit card.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Conclusion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In conclusion, if you come across a credit card number that starts with &#8216;9&#8217;, it&#8217;s likely associated with some form of standardization initiative from a national body. As these organizations continue to evolve in their roles of maintaining uniformity across diverse systems, we can expect more variety in credit card prefixes over time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21678,"template":"","article-category":[7752,1738,7869,7868,1737],"article-tag":[4366,1752,6624,8609,3268,6755,5514,6709,3273,2708,8405,3100,1746,1748,3406,3836,3320,3269,2460,3271,3272,3370,4927,3288,2466,6351,4743,15012,15013,6290,1768],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What credit card number starts with 9?
