Sponsor banks are the financial institutions that back your acceptor’s payment processing. Query them before creating an acceptor application to find the right bank and BIN.
Each sponsor bank can have multiple BINs — the identifiers that route card transactions to the issuing bank. You’ll need a sponsorBankId when creating an acceptor application.
ScenarioA developer at Clearpath Payments is creating an acceptor application for Maple Street Coffee and needs to pick the right sponsor bank and BIN.
Use the sponsorBanks query to list available sponsor banks and their BINs.
