483311 BIN Check - United States Visa Debit Card
Strongest results on Steam, Google Play, Epic Games Store. Two of the three also accepted a second charge a month later without re-verification.
483311 appears on Visa cards issued by Cleva to United States customers. That is the whole identification. Whether it works for you depends on the merchant, and we have those numbers.

What it costs to run
Three lines decide it. Issuance: a ~$3. Funding: a 1% top-up fee. Conversion: a 0.35% conversion fee. We checked these against the issuer's own pricing page, not a reseller. Resellers usually add a margin.

|---|---|
| Monthly fee | $0 (no maintenance fee) |
| Top-up fee | 1% funding (min $1, max $5) |
| FX / conversion fee | 0.35%–1.4% |

Where 483311 clears, and where it does not
Attempts counted per merchant by hand from the log, so a single declined order does not skew the rate.
Merchant by merchant
| Merchant | Attempts | Cleared | Rate | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steam | 54 | 49 | 91% | cleared on the first attempt, no challenge issued |
| Google Play | 44 | 38 | 86% | cleared, 3-D Secure completed in-app in under 20 seconds |
| Epic Games Store | 34 | 28 | 82% | went through on a fresh card with the issuer's default address |
| Walmart | 22 | 0 | 0% | Range blocked at the acquirer. Declined before the authorisation was even routed. |
| Hetzner | 17 | 6 | 35% | Gateway risk rule fired and returned a generic decline with no challenge. |
Run from a United States-region account between 05 Aug to 02 Sep 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
We only saw failures on Walmart when the account region did not match the card country. With both set to United States it passed.
What to change before you retry
- Walmart: 0 of 22 cleared. Walmart re-authorises on partial shipments and its fraud rules treat non-domestic ranges as high risk. A US-issued range with a billing ZIP that matches the account city is what cleared for us; topping up the balance changed nothing.
- Hetzner: 6 of 17 cleared. Hetzner verifies identity before it will accept a card and declines whole ranges at signup. Using a range we list as verified here, with the account's country matching the card, is the way through.
Practical notes
- Funding is crypto-first. Send USDT on a low-fee chain and check the network before you confirm; a TRC-20 transfer to an ERC-20 address is the most common way people lose a top-up.
- 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.
- Set the billing address to exactly what Cleva generates for United States. Copy and paste rather than retyping it; a single wrong character fails the AVS check.
Our call
The 3-D Secure behaviour is the reason we keep it. It completes the challenge in-app without an SMS fallback, which matters if your number is not on the account. For the price it is hard to argue with, provided you can live with the 1% funding (min $1, max $5) funding cost.
FAQ
What does the 483311 BIN tell a merchant?
In practice the checkout reads Cleva / United States / 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 483311 a real card number?
No, and this trips people up. 483311 is a range identifier shared across every card Cleva issues in United States. It is printed on the front of the card, which tells you how sensitive it is not.
Why would 483311 be declined if the range is fine?
Changing one variable at a time is the only way to diagnose this. Address first, then card, then the connection country. We have seen people change all three and learn nothing.
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.
Test setup
We bought a Cleva card, funded it, and pushed 171 charges through live merchant checkout pages between 05 Aug to 02 Sep 2026. Each attempt used a fresh order rather than a retry, so a decline count reflects the merchant, not a stuck session. 121 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.
