Generating Track 1. How to make Track 1 from Track2


Generating Track 1. How to make Track 1 from Track2
In this article I'll tell you how to make Track 1 using Track 2

For example, take the dump Track2

Our dump:4888603170607238=15051011203191805191 PATACSIL/DAVID Bank of America, N.A. (USA) CREDIT PLATINUM United States of America

4888603170607238=15051011203191805191 <----it's Track 2 (we want to make Track 1 of Track 2)
Smith/John <---cardholder name (LASTNAME/FIRSTNAME)
Bank of America, N.A. <-- Bank Name
(USA) <--- Bank Country
CREDIT <-- Credit or Debit ( in our case, Credit)
PLATINUM <--card type, i.e. Classic, Gold, Platinum
United States of America <--Directly country

When you see an equal sign (=) in a Track, it always means that it is Track 2

When you see the letter "B" at the beginning of the Track, it always means that it is Track 1

So, how to make Track 1 from Track 2:
We take our card number from our Track 2, in our case it is:
4888603170607238

Add the letter "B" at the beginning of the card number like this:
B4888603170607238

Then add the cardholder name that YOU want to specify to display, that is: B4888603170607238 ^ Smith / John ^ (Last name first / First Name)
Next we add expiry date and service code (expiry date in YYMM format in our case, 1505, in our case, the 3-digit service code is 101, so we add 1505101) we get:
B4888603170607238^Smith/John^1505101

Now add 10 zeros after the service code:
B4888603170607238^Smith/John^15051010000000000

Next, add the remaining digits from our Track 2 (after the service code):
B4888603170607238^Smith/John^150510100000000001203191805191

Then add 6 more zeros:
B4888603170607238^Smith/John^150510100000000001203191805191000000

Bingo, our Track1 is ready
Remember, this is only for VISA and MASTERCARD (16 digit), AMEX 15 numbers and it won't work with Amex.
All good, success and good luck!
 
Risktaker explained it really well, but i will give it a try and explain it too with the card number he gave.

So For Example we have (Track 2):

4888603170607238=15051011203191805191

If we break it down this is how it looks:
  • 4888603170607238: Card number (PAN).
  • 1505: Expiry date (YYMM format). (**YY: means the last two digits of the year and **MM: means the numerical value of the month)
  • 101: Service code.
  • Remaining digits (1203191805191): Discretionary data (varies by issuer).
When working with Tracks:
  • Track 2 has an = delimiter.
  • Track 1 starts with the letter B and uses the ^ delimiter.
Now let's get into the conversion.

1. Start with the Card Number
:
Take the PAN (4888603170607238) and add B at the start.
  • Like this : B4888603170607238.
2. Add Cardholder Name:
Format the name as LASTNAME/FIRSTNAME. In this example: Crew/Laver.
  • Result: B4888603170607238^Crew/Laver^.
3. Add Expiry Date and Service Code:
Use the expiry date (1505) and service code (101).
  • B4888603170607238^Crew/Laver^1505101
4. Add Padding (10 Zeros):
Append 10 zeros after the service code.
  • B4888603170607238^Crew/Laver^15051010000000000
5. Add the Remaining Track 2 Data:
Add the discretionary data from Track 2 (1203191805191).
  • Result: B4888603170607238^Crew/Laver^150510100000000001203191805191.
6. Add Trailing Zeros:
Append 6 zeros to complete the data.
  • Final Result: B4888603170607238^Crew/Laver^150510100000000001203191805191000000.
And that's how you do it !

Important Notes:

  • Service Code: Indicates features like PIN requirement, international usage, etc. (101 is common).
  • Discretionary Data: Issuer-specific; not all cards include this.
  • Track 1 Data Limit: Must not exceed 79 characters. Adjust padding if necessary.
  • Amex Cards: Use a different format (15-digit PAN).
