Summary

North American Bancard

United States · AI-generated

finance enterprise

A payment processor's single /24, dual-homed and registered in its own name.

What it's used for

  • Corporate and payments connectivity. 256 addresses in a single /24 with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

  • The one block, 198.252.230.0/24, is netname NAB-NET1, registered to North American Bancard, LLC.
  • Handle, holder and netname all reduce the same company name three different ways: NABANCARD, the full legal name, and NAB.
  • First seen in routing data in December 2012.
  • Two neighbours rather than one.

Interesting

  • Merchant acquiring is the business of standing between a shop's card terminal and the card networks. The money moves in batches and the authorisations move in milliseconds, and the second of those is why a /24 this small has two upstreams: a declined transaction because a link was down is a lost sale in somebody's store, immediately and visibly.
  • 2012 is late for a first appearance in routing data, and it fits a company that ran on its provider's addresses until the compliance requirements of card processing made owning the space and the routing worth the paperwork.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-28, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation

Classification and threat

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.

Spamhaus DROP

Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.

No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

FBI IC3

No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
