Does anyone have the Fidelity Visa? (Need BIN)

core — Sat, 22 Aug 2015 20:42:25 GMT

I need to know the BIN number (first 6 digits) of the Fidelity Visa card. I _think_ it's 406090 but there are so many banks with Fidelity in the name I can't be sure. The lat/lon seems to match up with my Amex.

The reason I need this is: I'm considering switching my Fidelity Amex to the Visa but I need to check with my suppliers to make sure the card is going to be accepted. Otherwise I will have given up my Amex for nothing. I thought about calling FIA to ask them what the number would be, but they'd probably think I'm a weirdo for asking such a question and hang up on me.

I thought a Visa was a Visa. Did not know some places only accepted certain Visa cards. Learn something new every day

An old page gives 440318

440318 - Fidelity Rewards Visa Signature (issued by FIA Card Services)

The page gives the right one for my Fid Amex.

It depends. A couple places I deal with they only accept certain cards. I cannot find rhyme nor reason to it. I think it must have something to do with fees. Or possibly the fact that the companies are overseas. Makes no sense to me either but that's the way it is with these guys.

Thanks LTL! Yeah that site matches my Fido Amex too. But I hope the Visa info is old, because the acceptance ain't looking good on that BIN.

while not always reliable, returns FIA Fidelity VIsa for 440318 and doesn't seem to find your one!
