Getting a lot of questions around why we are issuing 3100nnn for USA and 3020nnn for Canada instead of the State/Provincial specific ID's. There are a few simple reasons.
- We are running out of ID's, the old way of assigning ID's by state/prov isn't working
- Many states/provs have already reach nnnn999, There is no where else for them togo
- MCC numbering scheme was never designed for states/provs, This was a 'nice to have' made up system
- Brandmeister as of May 1st has decided to no longer route 1nnn MCC ID's
