What is Merchant Category Code 4214: Motor Freight Carriers, Moving and Storage Companies, Trucking – Local/Long Distance, Delivery Services – Local

Understanding Merchant Category Code 4214

Payment processors assign a four-digit Merchant Category Code (MCC) to classify a business by its goods or services. These codes, established by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization), are universally accepted by most card-issuing organisations.

MCC 4214 classifies transactions associated with motor freight carriers, moving and storage companies, and local and long-distance trucking and delivery services. Merchant Category Codes matter significantly in establishing transaction categories for businesses. Understanding your MCC helps align payment processing with merchant account needs.
