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, tax reporting, and determining interchange fees.
MCCs are particularly important for banks, payment processors, and regulatory authorities in identifying and managing different types of transactions. In the United States, these codes are widely used by financial institutions, merchants, and tax agencies such as the IRS.
