Results by merchant

Attempts counted per merchant by hand from the log, so a single declined order does not skew the rate.

Run from a United Arab Emirates-region account between 10 Jul to 28 Aug 2026, with the billing address set to the issuer default unless noted. Declines were logged with the reason the gateway returned.

Failures we could not fix

Two merchants gave us trouble, iHerb and PlayStation Network. In both cases the decline came back as an issuer block rather than an address problem, which is not something you can fix from your side.

What to change before you retry

Before you try it

  1. This range does not advertise 3-D Secure. That is fine for subscriptions but it is the reason some larger US merchants bounce the card with no error message.
  2. Paste the United Arab Emirates billing address Gomoney generates rather than typing your own. One transposed digit is enough to fail the check.
  3. Bank transfer is the cheap funding route here, but it is not instant. Top up a day before a renewal rather than the same morning.

What the numbers add up to

Overall a solid Debit range for United Arab Emirates-region accounts. Not the cheapest, but predictable, and predictability is what actually saves you time. If your only requirement is that the payment goes through, this range meets it.

Questions we get about 247016

What does the 247016 BIN tell a merchant?

In practice the checkout reads Gomoney / United Arab Emirates / Debit and decides. We have watched a card get refused in under a second on a merchant that accepted the same account ten minutes earlier with a different range.

Is 247016 a real card number?

Six digits of a sixteen-digit number. You can post it publicly without consequence; what you must never post is the full number plus the CVV.

Why would 247016 be declined if the range is fine?

Of the 163 attempts behind this page, the losses broke down as address mismatch first, incomplete 3-D Secure second, and merchant-side range blocks a distant third. Only the last one is about 247016.

Can thousands of people share the same BIN?

Yes, and it is worth internalising. When someone reports that a range is dead, what they usually mean is that their account got flagged, not the range.

What we did

We bought a Gomoney card, funded it, and pushed 163 charges through live merchant checkout pages between 10 Jul to 28 Aug 2026. Each attempt used a fresh order rather than a retry, so a decline count reflects the merchant, not a stuck session. 115 cleared.

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.
