MCC Mandates
MCC 6012 (UK)
For UK-based Financial Institutions with Merchant Category Code 6012, Visa and Mastercard have mandated additional information of the primary recipient of the loan to be included in the authorization message.
If you are a UK 6012 merchant use the following parameters for your transaction request:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
mcc6012BirthDay | Date of birth in format dd.mm.yy |
mcc6012AccountFirst6 | First 6 digits of recipient PAN (where the primary recipient account is a card) |

If you are a UK 6051 and 7299 merchant, you can reuse the MCC 6012 parameters to send the optional data to be included in the authorization message. However, please note that you have to either populate all the parameters or none otherwise the transaction will be declined.
