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, payment processing, and regulatory compliance.
In Canada, MCCs play a crucial role for banks, payment processors, and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in identifying and managing different types of transactions. They also impact interchange fees, credit card reward programs, and tax reporting for businesses operating in various industries.
