💳 Mastercard Test Cards for Stripe

Mastercard is a widely used card brand, making it essential to testMastercard payment scenarios thoroughly. Stripe provides comprehensiveMastercard test cards covering success, decline, authentication, and international payment scenarios.

Mastercard supports both traditional 5-series BIN ranges (5555...) and newer 2-series ranges (2223...). Both should be tested to ensure compatibility.

The 2-series BIN range was introduced by Mastercard to expand available card numbers as the traditional 5-series range approaches capacity.
