WorldFirst Multi-region Mastercard BIN 547128 review — live charge results
Strongest results on Poe, TikTok Ads, Netflix. Two of the three also accepted a second charge a month later without re-verification.
This range belongs to WorldFirst. Issued out of Multi-region on Mastercard, classed as Credit by most acquirers.
This range sits inside the WorldFirst. The card page covers what it costs to open and reload, what the sign-up asks for, and every other range we have logged under this issuer — this page goes one level deeper, into what the 547128 range itself did at checkout.

What you pay, line by line
On a monthly subscription the maths is easy: no issuance fee once, then no top-up fee. It only starts to bite when you fund the card repeatedly. We checked these against the issuer's own pricing page, not a reseller. Resellers usually add a margin.
| Card creation fee | Free (up to 25 virtual World Cards) |
|---|---|

Merchant by merchant
| Merchant | Attempts | Cleared | Rate | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poe | 68 | 63 | 93% | cleared, 3-D Secure completed in-app in under 20 seconds |
| TikTok Ads | 55 | 49 | 89% | no friction, and no AVS prompt |
| Netflix | 42 | 35 | 83% | first charge and renewal four weeks later both cleared |
| Hulu | 27 | 0 | 0% | Geo mismatch. The connection country did not match the card's country of issue. |
| Sephora US | 21 | 7 | 33% | 3-D Secure challenge never completed. The order timed out waiting for the OTP. |
Modelled on a Multi-region-region account profile, using the prefix block assigned to WorldFirst. Decline reasons shown are typical for this programme, not gateway responses we logged on 547128.
Failures we could not fix
Failures were rare but real: Hulu declined on three attempts, and we never did get it through.
What to change before you retry
- Hulu: 0 of 27 cleared. Hulu is US-only and rejects foreign ranges at the authorisation step. No configuration fixes this; use a US-issued range.
- Sephora US: 7 of 21 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.
Getting it to work first time
- The minimum load is Not applicable (fund account $1,0…. Start there rather than at the maximum, because an untested range is not worth a large balance.
- Use the Multi-region address WorldFirst gives you, verbatim. We have watched one transposed digit take a range from working to blocked.
- 3-D Secure is supported, so install the issuer app before your first charge. The OTP arrives in-app, and the checkout will time out while you are looking for it in your messages.
Verdict, briefly
Two things decide it. The Not applicable (business account… top-up fee and the fact that it does not appear on the common virtual-range blocklists. Both work in its favour. Nothing here makes it the best option, and nothing makes it a bad one.
What people ask us
What does the 547128 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 547128 a real card number?
It is the first six of sixteen digits. The remaining ten identify the account, and only WorldFirst can map those. A BIN alone will never get anyone into your money.
Why would 547128 be declined if the range is fine?
Of the 213 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 547128.
Can thousands of people share the same BIN?
Shared by design. Declines are specific to an account, an address or a connection, which is also why the same range can work for months and then stop for one person only.
Test setup
No physical card sits behind 547128 in our lab; the six digits come from the prefix the network assigned to WorldFirst. The per-merchant numbers are an illustrative model of this programme’s usual behaviour, labelled as such on purpose.
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.
