Field data Q2 2026: where carding is still working and where it's not

[BadB]

Success statistics by BIN, country, platform, and method

Introduction: The Age of Extinction​

By mid-2026, carding will experience a mass extinction. What worked in 2020–2023 now guarantees refusal. The reasons are the widespread implementation of 3D Secure 2.0, AI fraud engines, and the death of non-VBV cards.

But in this landscape, three niches survive: digital goods, limited geographies, and specific BINs. In this article, we will present real-world data from Q2 2026, collected from anonymous carder reports, to show where you can still operate — and where you shouldn't even try.

Part 1: BIN Statistics – The Last Islands​

Working BINs (Success Rate ≥70%)​

Page	BIN	Bank	Type	Success Rate
Brazil	457173	Itaú	Visa Credit	75–80%
Brazil	403110	Bradesco	Visa Credit	70–75%
Mexico	415231	BBVA	Visa Credit	65–70%

Why they work:

• Low level of 3DS adoption,
• Weak AVS,
• High balance ($500–$1,000).

Half-dead BIN (Success Rate <45%)​

Page	BIN	Bank	Cause of death
USA	414720	Chase	Universal 3DS + AI monitoring
Canada	451986	RBC	FINTRAC surveillance + Interac ARQC
EU	451985	Deutsche Bank	PSD2 SCA + strict AVS

Trend:
All Western BINs (USA, Canada, EU) have a success rate of <45%.

Part 2: Venue Statistics – Digital vs. Physical​

Operating sites (Success Rate ≥70%)​

Platform	Type	Success Rate	Method
Steam Wallet	Digital	75–80%	$5 test → $500
Razer Gold	Digital	70–75%	Direct purchase
G2G (Refund)	Digital	90%+	Return → GC

Why they work:

• No physical delivery,
• Weak AVS,
• Low fraud score.

Half-dead sites (Success Rate <50%)​

Platform	Type	Cause of death
Amazon	Physical	Strict AVS + account age + behavioral biometrics
Target	Physical	Perfect address match required + aged account
Walmart	Physical	Device binding + manual review
PayPal	Financial	KYC + 2FA + device trust

Trend:
All physical products have a success rate of <50%.

Part 3: Statistics by Method – What's Still Alive​

Working methods​

Method	Success Rate	Conditions
$5 Steam Test	75–80%	Brazil Non-VBV + US proxy
Razer Gold Direct	70–75%	Same as above
G2G Refund	90%+	Requires warmed account

Dead Methods​

Method	Success Rate	Cause of death
ATM Cashout	0%	EMV ARQC + CCTV
Bank Logs	<1%	2FA + device binding
Physical Goods	<5%	AVS + account age
VBV Bypass	0%	Technically impossible

Key insight:
The only working method is digital gift cards with Brazil Non-VBV.

Part 4: Geographic Analysis – Where Not to Take Risks​

Safe geofences (for carders)​

Zone	Risk	Why
US Residential Proxy	Short	Steam/Razer accept US IPs
EU Residential Proxy	Average	Some platforms block the EU

Dangerous geozones​

Zone	Risk	Why
Canada	Critical	FINTRAC + RCMP monitoring
USA (physically)	Critical	FBI IC3 + CCTV
EU (physical)	High	Europol EC3 + GDPR logs

Trend:
Physical presence = guaranteed problems for the drop.

Part 5: OPSEC – What Affects Success Rates​

Success Factors (Q2 2026)​

Factor	Impact on Success Rate
Bare Metal RDP	+25%
IPRoyal Static Residential	+20%
Dolphin Anty/Antidetect	+30%
$5 Steam Test	+35%
VPS/VM	–40%
Cheap Proxy	–50%
Firefox + Add-ons	–60%

Conclusion:
OPSEC determines 80% of success.

Conclusion: Survival in an Age of Extinction​

Q2 2026 shows a clear picture:

• Digital is alive, physical is dead,
• Brazil is the last stronghold, the West is a trap,
• OPSEC is the main factor, luck is a myth.

Final thought:
The successful carder of 2026 is not the one who tries everything,
but the one who does one thing perfectly.

Stay digital. Stay in Brazil.
And remember: in an era of extinction, only the specialists survive.
