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 (MCCs) are used to classify businesses by the type of goods or services they provide. For example, grocery stores would use the MCC 5411, whereas department stores would use the MCC 5311. Beyond general record-keeping, MCCs are important because they contribute to interchange fee calculation, payment authorization rates, and fraud prevention.

Finix assigns customers a list of MCCs their Seller Merchants can select during the onboarding process. Customers offering a broad range of products and services may have an expansive MCC lists, whereas customers offering a narrower range of products and services would have a smaller list.

Below, you'll find the full list of MCCs that Finix currently supports. For information about prohibited and restricted businesses, see Prohibited and Restricted Businesses & Activities. Should you have any questions about whether Finix can support your business, please reach out to your Finix point of contact or email Finix Support.
