The phrase Exchange when for now is associated with Microsoft Exchange Server, which is a mail server and calendaring server.

The first 6 digits of a credit card number constitute the Issuer Identification Number (IIN), formerly called Bank Identification Number (BIN).

The account number and checksum follow the IIN.

The central bank of Lithuania is officially called 'Lietuvos Bankas' in Lithuanian, which translates to 'Bank of Lithuania'.
