The merchant-code fight, explained
The quietest front in the whole fight is four digits long. Here's what a merchant category code is, what changed, and why it matters.
A merchant category code (MCC) tags what a business sells. In 2023 a new code for firearm retailers was approved.
Card networks can now flag, and processors can act on, transactions specifically because a business sells firearms.
It turns lawful purchases into a trackable, blockable category. Deplatforming without a single law passed.
Several states have restricted or banned its use; others mandate it. Watch which processors adopt it, and how.
Got dropped? Here's who's open.
Top-graded institutions per pipeline, verified to serve lawful firearm businesses.
Has a bank or processor dropped you?
Or taken you on when others would not? Both belong on the record. Send it with a source.
