Understanding Merchant Category Code 9399

An MCC, or Merchant Category Code, is a four-digit number assigned by payment processors to classify a business according to the type of goods or services it provides.  MCCs are defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are universally recognised by most card issuers.

MCC 9399 refers to a unique classification for government services that are not classified elsewhere. As part of the broader MCC system, these codes help identify transactions related to specific service sectors for proper payment routing and categorisation.
