Merchant category codes

Every merchant that is onboarded to the uP Platform via the uP POM is categorised using a merchant Category code (MCC). clients can suggest an MCC designation for each of their merchants using the optional “suggestedMCC” field on the Account entity. The NomuPay risk and underwriting team will review all suggested MCCs, however they will ultimately decide and assign an MCC designation based on their review and alignment to card network requirements.

The table below contains a listing of MCCs that NomuPay supports.
