Merchant Category Codes|Overview
Overview
Payment brands use merchant category codes (MCCs) to classify merchants and businesses by
the type of goods or services provided. Payment brands, issuers and acquirers can use MCCs
to categorize, track and restrict transactions. MCCs can be used for tax reporting, interchange
promotion and gathering information about cardholder purchasing behavior.
Often, MCCs are recognized by all payment brands; however, not all codes are recognized by all
brands. Payment brands frequently add, eliminate or change the codes with regularly-scheduled
enhancements.
