I'm testing Visa BIN Attribute Sharing Service in Sandbox. Looking at the documentation, I see "Product ID" and "Brand Indicator" includes other card networks ( e.g. Mastercard, Amex etc..). Also, the data returned in sandbox for BIN FileTransfer API included a few records for Mastercard (e.g. 588661 returned in sandbox )
Wondering if data for all card networks are included in VBASS. Can i expect to see the full Mastercard and Amex data in the production data ?

Thanks Illana for the reply.
My understanding was that the level of access ( Level 1 - Basic vs Level 2 - Advanced vs Level 3 - Complete) only controls the attributes made available in the response. I was under the impression that the number of records returned would be same regardless of the level of access. Is this not the case ?
Does Level 1 filter out other network records, but Level 2/3 return those additional records ? I understand Product ID field is only available in Level 2/3 access.
Hi @ram-chidambaram,
Apologies for the late reply- you are correct. The number of records returned is the same for all levels- level 2 and 3 however return more attributes comared to level 1.
For a list of attributes included in each level, please check out this link: Getting Started with Visa BIN Attribute Sharing Service
