MCC Assignment
Merchant category code assignment for up to 25 merchant websites per run, with confidence, the evidence and any restricted-category flag.
Built for payments and acquiring teams assigning a merchant category code at onboarding.
- High risk industry screening
- High risk country screening
- Website trust verification
Why this work is hard
Payments and acquiring teams assigning merchant category codes at onboarding spend hours on this by hand: finding the right sources, reading them, checking them against each other and writing up what matters. The work is repetitive, it is easy to miss something, and nobody can show where a claim came from.
MCC Assignment does that work as a GREP AI agent. It takes a whole list in one run and returns one row per item. Every run delivers a sourced report, with every claim linked to its source.

How is the merchant category code chosen?
From what the site actually sells, checked across its homepage, catalog, pricing or checkout, about and terms pages. It picks the most specific code from ISO 18245 and the Visa and Mastercard references, and records a runner-up.
Which codes get a high-risk flag?
Restricted or high-risk codes such as 5967, 5966, 7995, 5993, 6051, 4829, 5122 and 5912, plus sites whose observed activity falls in those categories.
What if a site doesn't load?
It retries, tries www and http variants, and if it still fails marks the row unreachable without classifying it.
