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:
