What is MCC Code?
A Merchant Category Code (MCC) is a four-digit number assigned to businesses by credit card networks (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) to classify the type of goods or services they provide. These codes are used for transaction categorization, regulatory compliance, and determining interchange fees.
MCCs play a crucial role for banks, payment processors, and regulatory authorities in identifying and managing different types of transactions. In the United Kingdom, these codes are widely used by financial institutions, merchants, and tax agencies such as HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for financial reporting and VAT categorization.
