MCC codes

What is an MCC code and a list of possible values.

An MCC is a four-digit number that represents the type of services or goods that a business provides. For example, an MCC value of 5732 represents electronics retailers and 5942 represents book stores.

You can take advantage of the MCC information to customize card accounts, for example:

  • Brands can use MCCs to control the types of purchases allowed with a card. For instance, a brand that issues company expense cards to its staff can restrict card transactions by authorizing only selected categories, such as hotels and car hire firms.
  • Brands can offer loyalty programs and provide loyalty points for purchases in a particular category.
  • Brands can generate summaries based on MCCs, so you can analyze the types of transactions your customers are making.

The MCC codes that the Bond platform supports are shown below, with a description of each code.
