Approved Merchant Category Codes

Learn about the sellers and MCCs that are approved to process payments on Finix.


In the finance ecosystem, Merchant Category Codes (also known as MCCs) are used to classify businesses by the type of goods or services they provide.

For example, grocery stores, airlines, and restaurants all have different MCCs. These MCC codes get used for calculating interchange fees, authorizing payments, and preventing fraud.

The MCC of sellers get configured during onboarding; it’s important that your sellers have MCCs that match the services they're offering.

This article details the MCCs that are approved to process payments on Finix. For a list of prohibited and restricted businesses, see Prohibited and Restricted Businesses & Activities.
