EMVCo has established a BIN Controller Identifier Registration (“BIN Controller ID” or "BCID"), which is a 4 character value assigned to a BIN Controller for purposes of Payment Account Reference (PAR) governance, with registration being maintained by EMVCo. The BIN Controller Identifier is included as the first 4 characters of PAR Data and uniquely identifies the BIN Controller responsible for the governance of PAR and ensuring uniqueness within the PAR ecosystem governed by that BIN Controller. The BIN Controller Identifier is intended to provide transparency of the BIN Controller that governs PAR for those BINs that are under its span of control. Note that EMVCo does not accredit, approve, endorse or evaluate BIN Controllers, but rather, merely maintains this listing service.

Once the Applicant completes the Docusign process above, EMVCo will review documents to ensure they are completed to the application requirements. If the documents have been completed correctly, EMVCo will approve. If not, EMVCo will decline and communicate directly with the Applicant to explain how the application must be corrected to proceed.
EMVCo’s Financial Secretariat will generate an invoice and email it to the Applicant. Note that the invoicing information provided in the registration form be used to issue the invoice.
The applicant must pay the invoice in full prior to the BIN Controller ID being issued and/or published on the EMVCo website.
