Curious. Has this been resolved since February?  I am having the same issue with clients being unable to use their credit cards to pay for services, and I am pretty certain it is related to MCC.

Hi there, @MeaghanM.

Thank you for sharing this with the Community. You can assign the Merchant Category Code (MCC) through the Merchant Service Center. You can change the code by going through these steps:

1. Go to this link merchantcenter.intuit.com.
2. Sign in your Merchant account.
3. Go to the account tab.
4. In the account profile, it will give you a section there for your MCC.
5. You can change it there to the best description that fits your business.

If you can’t assign it, I suggest reaching the QuickBooks Merchant Services support. They can check your merchant account and assist you in assigning the code.

Feel free to visit this page about locating the deposits or fees in your merchant account for a reference.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reach us. Have a good day.

Thank you!  When I opened my profile, I was looking for a line item titled : Merchant Category Code with the 4 digit codes, which there wasn't. However, under Industry Type I was able to find the category that matches the code that best describes my business.  Thanks for the guidance.

I need to know my Merchant Category Code. It is NOT located on my profile page as you instructed. This is urgent as it invoves an important credit card charge. Please respont ASAP. Why can't I speak with someone?

Thanks
