Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to using tokenization with BIN table routing by configuring a computer system, such as an acquirer computer, to utilize a token BIN translation table to determine which payment processing network(s) are eligible to route a transaction based upon a utilized token. In an embodiment, each token BIN translation table entry associates a token BIN with one or more payment processing networks that are eligible to route transactions. An acquirer computer, upon receiving a token for a transaction, thus may flexibly route the transaction to an eligible network from the set of payment processing networks identified by the entry corresponding to the token's BIN value. The entry may further identify verification methods for the eligible payment processing networks, and may identify product type attributes of the account associated with the token, either of which may be used in determining which payment processing network to select.
