To facilitate the management of card issuers, the State Bank of Vietnam requires all banks offering card issuance services to convert old BIN codes into new ones issued by the State Bank.

Accordingly, from October 15, 2010 to December 31, 2010, Eximbank will implement the conversion into the new BIN cards (the first 6 digits of the card bearing the number 970431) free of charge for all customers using the old BIN cards (707070) and widen the scope of usage of the new BIN cards to make payment for goods and services (in addition to cash withdrawal) at all merchants (POS) of banks belonging to Smartlink Alliance, Banknetvn Alliance, VNBC Alliance, etc. nationwide

During the conversion period, customers are still able to use the old BIN cards until receipt of the new ones/or till the end of December 31, 2010. Upon receiving the new BIN cards, customers should bring along their ID and old BIN cards
