Understanding Merchant Category Code 7841: Video Tape Rental Stores

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.

Merchant Category Code (MCC) 7841 identifies businesses associated with video tape rental stores, a category that includes companies offering rental services for video tapes and DVDs. Understanding merchant category codes helps ensure clear, structured payment processing and enhanced financial tracking.
