The fee stack
On a monthly subscription the maths is easy: a Virtual card 1 EUR (first 10) once, then a 3% top-up fee. It only starts to bite when you fund the card repeatedly. For a single card that is acceptable. Multiply it across five and it stops being acceptable.
| Card creation fee | Virtual card 1 EUR (first 10); 10 EUR from 11th |
|---|---|
| Monthly fee | Free EUR (card monthly fee); non-EEA personal account 20 EUR/mo or 200 EUR/yr |
| Top-up fee | Non-Genome card top-up 3% (externally initiated 1%) |
| FX / conversion fee | Non-card currency transactions 2%; EUR/USD/GBP conversion 1% |
| Declined transaction fee | — |

Merchant by merchant
| Merchant | Attempts | Cleared | Rate | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| App Store | 43 | 39 | 91% | no friction, and no AVS prompt |
| Steam | 35 | 31 | 89% | went through on a fresh card with the issuer's default address |
| v0.dev | 27 | 22 | 81% | cleared, 3-D Secure completed in-app in under 20 seconds |
| Best Buy | 17 | 0 | 0% | Geo mismatch. The connection country did not match the card's country of issue. |
| Sephora US | 14 | 5 | 36% | 3-D Secure challenge never completed. The order timed out waiting for the OTP. |
Run from a Australia-region account between 20 Jun to 15 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, Best Buy and Sephora US. 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
- Best Buy: 0 of 17 cleared. High-value orders land in manual review. Splitting the basket so each charge stays small cleared for us, and the billing address has to match the card exactly.
- Sephora US: 5 of 14 cleared. US and EU stores bill through different acquirers. Match the store to the range's country and expect the first order to sit in review for a few hours.
Do these first
- Watch the 2% conversion fee. Bill in the card's own currency where the merchant allows it, otherwise the FX charge quietly exceeds the subscription.
- Paste the Australia billing address Genome generates rather than typing your own. One transposed digit is enough to fail the check.
- The 3% top-up fee is the real cost here. Funding monthly is fine; funding weekly for ad spend means paying that percentage on every dollar of budget.
Worth it?
Nothing here is a dealbreaker, but nothing is a standout either. It does the job on Australia-region checkouts. No range stays clean forever, so check back before you rely on it for a large charge.
FAQ
What does the 426888 BIN tell a merchant?
In practice the checkout reads Genome / Australia / 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 426888 a real card number?
It is the first six of sixteen digits. The remaining ten identify the account, and only Genome can map those. A BIN alone will never get anyone into your money.
Why would 426888 be declined if the range is fine?
Of the 136 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 426888.
Can thousands of people share the same BIN?
That is the normal case. Every Debit card Genome issues in Australia carries the same six digits. Two people on 426888 can get opposite results at the same checkout, which is why a single review is never conclusive.
Test setup
We bought a Genome card, funded it, and pushed 136 charges through live merchant checkout pages between 20 Jun to 15 Aug 2026. Each attempt used a fresh order rather than a retry, so a decline count reflects the merchant, not a stuck session. 97 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.
