About Merchant Category Codes

Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) are four-digit numbers used by payment brands to classify merchants and businesses by the type of goods or services provided. Payment brands, issuers, and acquirers use MCCs to categorise, track, and restrict transactions.

MCCs can be used for:

  • Tax reporting
  • Interchange promotion
  • Gathering information about cardholder purchasing behaviour

Often, MCCs are recognised by all payment brands; however, not all codes are recognised by all brands. Payment brands frequently add, eliminate, or change the codes with regularly-scheduled enhancements.

This tool provides information about Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) as described in the Citibank MCC documentation.
