A public repository of Merchant Category Codes (MCC) in formats easier to read than most places (i.e. not a PDF).
The same data is available in several formats:
- ods (LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org compatible)
- csv
- xls (Microsoft Office & useful with many other systems that can read xls)
I hope that folks will create pull requests to make this information easier to read and use. Specifically, the "Edited Description" field is a place where we can collaboratively go through and fix things like upper case vs. title case.
Preferences for the "Edited Description"
- Shorter is better
- Use descriptions that make the most sense to someone in 2013
- Use title case
If the pull request is against the CSV I'll gladly update the binary formats.
I'm building this to benefit the operations and users of http://card.com
We may add more data to this at some point and will share updates.
