In modern financial services, credit card-related operations are both widespread and complex. From credit card repayment and cash-out services to point-running, risk control bypass, and multi-account applications, every step requires professional tools, environmental configurations, and data resource support. This article outlines five major business scenarios and details the commonly used tools and equipment configurations in credit card-related operations.


1. Credit Card Repayment / Empty Card Cash-Out

1. Scenario Description:

Helping users manage funds before repayment due dates through the "swipe → withdraw → repay" cycle, or using POS machines to perform "empty card cash-out."

2. Required Tools & Devices:

CategoryTool / Device Description
POS DevicesHandheld POS, large POS (supports remote transaction simulation), e.g., Haike Rongtong, Newland, Shengfutong
Repayment SystemAutomated repayment system with customizable plans (e.g., by date/amount)
Risk Control BypassUsed with various merchant codes (MCC) to evade bank risk strategies
Bill Analysis ToolsFetching bill data (e.g., Alipay, WeChat, UnionPay mini program) to auto-generate repayment plans
Multi-card ManagementKeePass, encrypted Excel sheets, or custom card management system to track credit limits, billing dates, etc.

3. Configuration Tips:

  • One device per account, avoid frequently changing device ID and network
  • Rotate merchant pools to avoid repeated cash-out from the same merchant

2. Credit Card “Point Running” / Overseas Spending Business

1. Scenario Description:

Using credit cards to purchase virtual goods (e.g., Steam, App Store, ads) for commissions, often referred to as "point running" in grey markets.

2. Required Tools & Devices:

CategoryTool / Device Description
Proxy IPResidential/IP proxy matching card origin country (e.g., MoMoProxy)
Fingerprint BrowserGoLogin / AdsPower / Multilogin to spoof real device fingerprints
Virtual CardsStripe VCC, BIN cards, Wise cards, Privacy cards
Payment PlatformsStripe merchant account, PayPal merchant, Google Pay / Apple Pay
DevicesCloud phones, emulators, cloud servers + browsers to simulate environments
Detection ToolsIPQualityScore, Scamalytics, Binlist.net

3. Configuration Tips:

  • IP must match credit card issuing country (to avoid risk control)
  • Use behavior simulation scripts (avoid instant transactions)

3. Credit Card Registration / Card Opening Services

1. Scenario Description:

Apply for credit cards on behalf of clients or bulk register virtual/local credit cards using fake identities to exploit new card promotions.

2. Required Tools & Devices:

CategoryTool / Device Description
Identity DataVirtual IDs, proof of address (utility bills, phone bills, etc.)
SMS Platforms5sim, SMSPVA (for account registration)
Email SystemsZoho Mail, Mail.tm, Temp-Mail
Proxy IPHigh anonymity residential IP (e.g., MoMoProxy US, UK, CA)
Browser IsolationGoLogin / AdsPower with unique environment setups
Virtual Address ServicesUS/UK address generators or shipping address services (e.g., Shipito)

3. Configuration Tips:

  • Each card application requires a clean, unique browser environment
  • Consistency between email/phone/IP/device fingerprint is crucial

4. Credit Card Risk Control Testing / Bypass

1. Scenario Description:

Testing whether credit cards work under various payment scenarios, understanding bank risk controls, or bypassing transaction restrictions.

2. Required Tools & Devices:

CategoryTool / Device Description
Multi-browser EnvironmentMulti-account isolation (Multilogin, VMLogin)
Remote SimulationVPS for different geolocations, cloud phones, real devices + proxy IPs
Auto Testing ScriptsSelenium, Playwright (automate payment flows)
BIN Checker ToolsBinlist.net, IIN Lookup, Stripe BIN API
Black Card DetectionPlatforms identifying flagged card segments (for legal testing only)
IP Scoring ToolsIPQualityScore, MaxMind, FraudLabs Pro

3. Configuration Tips:

  • Use different IPs/fingerprints for each test to avoid blacklisting
  • Use sandbox environments (e.g., Stripe Sandbox) for safe simulations

5. Credit Card Promotions / Cashback Exploits

1. Scenario Description:

Taking advantage of promotions like cashback, foreign transaction bonuses, or first-use rewards by registering multiple cards and automating small transactions.

2. Required Tools & Devices:

CategoryTool / Device Description
Promo SourcesCredit card forums, bank promotion aggregators (e.g., Carding forum, discount hunter communities)
Automation ScriptsSimulated consumption scripts to meet transaction thresholds
Multi-account ToolsRegister and simulate multiple user profiles
Test Merchant PlatformsCustom merchant backend for simulation transactions (legal use only)
Cashback TrackerAuto tracker for number of transactions, amount, and cashback time

3. Configuration Tips:

  • Link promo card and transaction platform to appear as a genuine user
  • Use IFTTT or Python scripts to set cashback reminders
