Mcc email format
The MCC (Merchant Category Code) email format is a standardized format used by banks and payment processors to identify the type of business or industry of a merchant. The format is as follows:
[MCC Code]@[Domain Name].com
Here's a breakdown of the format:
[MCC Code]
: A 4-digit code that represents the merchant category. For example, 5812 for a restaurant or 5044 for a clothing store.@
: The "at" symbol, which separates the MCC code from the domain name.[Domain Name]
: The domain name of the merchant's website or email address. For example, "example.com" or "mystore.com"..com
: The top-level domain (TLD) of the domain name, which is usually ".com" but can be other TLDs like ".net", ".org", etc.
Here are a few examples of MCC email formats:
- [email protected] (restaurant)
- [email protected] (clothing store)
- [email protected] (bank)
The MCC code is used to identify the type of business or industry of the merchant, which can be useful for various purposes such as:
- Fraud detection and prevention
- Compliance with industry regulations
- Targeted marketing and advertising
- Payment processing and settlement
It's worth noting that not all merchants have an MCC code, and not all MCC codes are publicly available. Additionally, some merchants may have multiple MCC codes depending on the products or services they offer.
