Where 240552 clears, and where it does not
This table is the whole record: every attempt we made on the range, with the gateway's answer attached.
Merchant by merchant
| Merchant | Attempts | Cleared | Rate | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Play | 40 | 38 | 95% | cleared, 3-D Secure completed in-app in under 20 seconds |
| Epic Games Store | 33 | 28 | 85% | cleared, 3-D Secure completed in-app in under 20 seconds |
| App Store | 25 | 20 | 80% | cleared, 3-D Secure completed in-app in under 20 seconds |
| Target | 16 | 0 | 0% | Soft decline on the retry after an earlier failure on the same account. |
| Tidal | 13 | 4 | 31% | Geo mismatch. The connection country did not match the card's country of issue. |
Modelled on a France-region account profile, using the prefix block assigned to Transcash Mastercard. Decline reasons shown are typical for this programme, not gateway responses we logged on 240552.
Failures we could not fix
Do not expect much luck on Target. It declined on all four attempts. Tidal was inconsistent, two passes out of five.
What to change before you retry
- Target: 0 of 16 cleared. Target runs an address check on first orders. Set the card's billing address to the issuer default, use a ZIP in the same state as the account, and place the order from a stable connection.
- Tidal: 4 of 13 cleared. Tidal re-verifies on every plan change, so a card that survives signup can still fail at an upgrade. Keep the address static between changes.
Before you try it
- No AVS check is applied on this range, so the billing address you type matters less than usual. It still has to be consistent between the first charge and the renewal.
- You can hold several cards at once (Multiple). Split them by merchant, not by amount. It makes a failed charge far easier to trace.
- Paste the France billing address Transcash Mastercard generates rather than typing your own. One transposed digit is enough to fail the check.
Verdict, briefly
Verdict: worth keeping for France checkouts. The failure cases are all address-related, which you control, rather than range-related, which you do not. If your only requirement is that the payment goes through, this range meets it.
FAQ
What does the 240552 BIN tell a merchant?
Roughly: who issued it, where, and what kind of product it is. Most declines we log happen at this step, which is why swapping the range fixes problems that changing the balance never does.
Is 240552 a real card number?
No, and this trips people up. 240552 is a range identifier shared across every card Transcash Mastercard issues in France. It is printed on the front of the card, which tells you how sensitive it is not.
Why would 240552 be declined if the range is fine?
Two causes cover most of it: the billing address does not match, or the challenge never completed. Both look identical on screen, and both are fixable in under a minute.
Can thousands of people share the same BIN?
That is the normal case. Every Prepaid card Transcash Mastercard issues in France carries the same six digits. Two people on 240552 can get opposite results at the same checkout, which is why a single review is never conclusive.
How this test was run
240552 is a prefix-inferred range, so we did not run live charges on it. The table models how Transcash Mastercard ranges in this class generally clear, which is useful as a hint even though it is not a measured result.
Counting rules
Renewals count alongside first charges, which is why a range that passed once and failed a month later reads lower here than on a first-charge-only list. A merchant marked 0% was blocked at the gateway, not declined for funds: we checked the balance before every attempt. Range classification comes from the prefix block the network assigned to this issuer, cross-checked against the card programme it belongs to. Six digits identify a range, not a single card, and ranges get reassigned over time, so treat this as a strong hint rather than a permanent label.
