Key Terms

merchant category codes (mccs) technical

Merchant category codes (MCCs) are four-digit codes assigned by payment card networks to classify a merchant’s primary line of business or the type of goods or services it sells. Card issuers, processors and networks use MCCs to route and process transactions, apply the correct interchange fees and tax reporting rules, enforce card program restrictions (for example on purchases eligible for rewards or corporate-card controls), and help with fraud or regulatory screening; a merchant’s MCC is set by the acquirer or card network and may not perfectly describe every sale if a business sells multiple types of products or services.

apr financial

Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the yearly cost of borrowing money expressed as a percentage, combining interest and most fees into a single rate so borrowers can compare loans like comparing price tags. For investors, APR matters because it affects how much companies pay to raise capital, influences consumer demand for credit, and helps compare returns or costs across loans, bonds, and financial products — all of which can change profits and valuations.
