Is it possible to Save first 6 digits of credit cards ?

We've been getting some fraudulent transactions lately and they are getting more and more advanced.
It used to be that billing and shipping addresses were always different which was a clear red flag. Now , they started using foreign credit cards , so the AVS matching isn't working and letting these pass through.
It would be really helpful to have the first 6 digits to be able to look up the origin of the credit card using Bin Search services. At the moment, i have to call my processor to get that information, but would be very convenient to be able to skip that step. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Attempting to hold on to credit card data = skating on thin ice!
What version of ZC are you running?
